Hyperion completes labatory infrastructure project for Hellenic Petroleum

Hyperion Systems Engineering announces the successful completion of an important Laboratory Infrastructure project for the Hellenic Petroleum S.A Group.

Specifically the project, which required 10 months from kick-off to completion, involved the expansion and upgrading of the laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for the three refineries of the company in Greece (Elefsina, Aspropyrgos and Thessaloniki), and the migration of these systems in one integrated environment with shared data infrastructure, work processes and reports.

The project was delivered on the Sample Manager™ software platform of the US corporation Thermo Fisher Scientific, a leader in products and equipment supporting laboratory operations as well as the global market share leader in LIMS technology. HYPERION is a strategic partner of Thermo Fisher Scientific in Greece/Cyprus, Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Anastasios Danas, Group IT Director of HELLENIC PETROLEUM stated: “ In such difficult times for the global and particularly the Greek economy, with the implementation of projects like this one, our Group emphasizes our commitment to continue looking forward towards growth and development. HYPERION has proved to be a trusted and dedicated partner with experienced engineers who identified all peculiarities or specific issues requiring resolution, and managed to successfully deliver the project on time.”

Dr. Symeon Kassianides, Chairman and CEO of HYPERION stated: “Utilising the experience and knowhow which our engineers have gained over 20 years of Hyperion's worldwide project activity, for the success of companies in our own region is particularly gratifying. It is a true pleasure for us to work with HELLENIC PETROLEUM and we look forward to a continued, stronger and closer cooperation going forward.”
