Previously, ABB announced a five year frame agreement with Petrobras, the huge Brazilian oil and gas company, to upgrade the Petrobras refineries using System 800xA installations for both automation and power control.

Substituting for project leader Eliane Valvano Corrêa da Silva from Petrobras REDUC Refinery was ABB’s Antonio Carvalho in a progress report on one of the upgrade projects being done under the frame agreement. Valvano is currently doing the SAT for one phase of the project, so she was unable to leave the refinery to attend ABB Automation and Power World.
