October 2021 OffshoreMuster is an integrated emergency response decision support system for enhancing workers’ safety in offshore oil & gas operations. It is a research & development project that received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 878950. The following four companies are the project members: SignalGeneriX Ltd (Cyprus) CSEM Centre Suisse (Switzerland) Hyperion Systems Engineering Ltd (Cyprus) Optionsnet (Greece) OffshoreMuster aims to enhance the safety of personnel working in off-shore oil & gas installations and assets by introducing a step-change in mustering and evacuation management in offshore platforms thanks to its unique features: continuous localisation and health monitoring of crew-members, detection of people at sea at distances of up to 1.5km and robust communication even in the events of massive data link breakdowns. In October 2021, the solution was successfully field-tested on an offshore platform moored at the AbuDhabi Industrial Port. Below is a short summary video and a gallery of photos from the testing.

July 2021 Caramondani Desalination Plants Ltd., a subsidiary of the Caramondani Group (https://caramondani.com.cy/group/caramondani-desalination-plants/), one of the oldest and leading Cypriot engineering groups, have entrusted Hyperion Energy to deliver a turn-key Control System for a new Desalination Plant in the Paphos District, Cyprus. Caramondani were awarded by the Cyprus Government Water Development Department (WDD) the contract to build-operate-transfer a new desalination plant with production capacity of 15,000 m3/day, with a possible future expansion to 30,000 m3/day. The plant was designed by OSMO SISTEMI , an Italian leading company in the filtration, water treatment and reverse osmosis technologies and a member of the Caramondani Group. The entire production feeds into the WDD water supply network. Hyperion delivered a Honeywell ControlEdge PLC based production control system as well as a supervisory operators HMI SCADA System based on the leading Honeywell Experion HS technology platform.

June 2021 Three generators provided to a client in the USA by a well-known manufacturer were not preserved well and suffered considerable damage when water entered the generators during a hurricane. Hyperion Power Services (HPS) provided technical support by a generator design expert to describe the extent of the damage and to support SNC Lavalin in their claim against the manufacturer who were responsible for the preservation of the generators. The issue has now been settled between the two parties.

April 2021 Hyperion Power Services (HPS) led the root cause analysis to establish the reason of failure of the Low Pressure Turbine that suffered first stage blade cracks. These rendered the turbine unsafe to operate. HPS engineers, working with the manufacturer, performed forensic engineering and recommended measures to prevent a repeat failure of the repaired turbine. Measures to prevent similar failures from environmental factors were recommended and applied to the site.

March 2021 Hyperion Energy is the selected vendor to provide a complete terminal automation solution for VLPG, the new central industrial facility for the import, storage, bulk dispatching and bottling of LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) which is under construction at the Vasilikos area in Cyprus. The project scope includes automated tank gauging, distributed process control, emergency shut down and fire&gas detection, integrated supervisory control & visualisation, and terminal operations management, all with technology from Honeywell Process Solutions. VLPG is a joint venture between the four companies which import and market LPG in the Cyprus market: Petrolina Gas Intergaz Synergas EKO Gas VLPG is planned to begin operations before the end of 2022.

February 2021 We are pleased to announce our recent collaboration with The Cyprus Institute involving High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) which falls under the framework of the EuroCC project. Machine Learning Algorithms Computational scientists at the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC) are developing ML algorithms with Hyperion that use vast amounts of production plant measurement data to develop models to predict critical quality parameters of the processed material based on real-time conditions. The models will be embedded in Hyperion’s solutions and serve as virtual instrumentation that will infer measurements that can be used to help isolate low quality material more efficiently and dramatically reduce waste and, thus, costs for a plant.

October 2020 Second Opportunity SME-II Grant number: OPPORTUNITY/0916/SME-II/0005, Research & Innovation Foundation, Cyprus HYPPOS receives € 700,000 funding from the Cyprys Research & Innovation Foundation towards further development with project duration of two years (10.2018-10.2020). In June 2020, HYPPOS entered its Beta Testing phase at the state-of-the art polypropylene plant of Hellenic Petroleum petrochemicals unit in Thessaloniki, Greece which was pivotal for the success of the project for two reasons. Despite the challenges due to travel restrictions and prohibition of external visitors to plant floors imposed by COVID-19, even after the lock-down periods, we took the opportunity to develop a dedicated procedure for remote commissioning.

March 2019 Hyperion Power Services was selected by Turbine Technology Services (TTS) to author maintenance manuals for key components of a major Combined Cycle plant in Saudi Arabia.  The manuals were completed and well received by TTS and the ultimate client.
