Microverse has worked with one of the largest companies in the energy sector for automation of their LPG storage, handling and bottling plant.
The system includes a DCS for the process automation, local stations, and a safety system. Microverse has also provided novel solutions based on IIoT for remote monitoring and for planning maintenance.
The customer has a major setup in Mangalore, located on west-coast of India in the state of Karnataka. This consists of:
In the first phase of the project, Microverse automated the systems at the jetty terminal where Propane and Butane is blended. The blended gasses are then transported through a cross-country pipeline. Automation is provided for ratio control of Propane and Butane flow rates with density corrections for Temperature and Pressure. Appropriate safety interlocks for associated equipment are provided.
Microverse has also provided remote monitoring facility so that systems at Terminal and at Jetty can communicate with each other across the 7 k.m. long pipeline.
In the second phase, the processes at the main plant were automated.
The Terminal has the following major equipment
Automation System supplied by MICROVESRE comprises of the following sub-systems
The BPCS performs all the data acquisition, control, interlock functions, which typically include ROV line-ups for material receipt through cross-country pipe-line, storage in appropriate spheres, change-over of spheres, blending operations, mercaptan dosing, dispensing to gantries for unloading into tankers, dispensing to bottling plant etc.
The locally deployed systems support the BPCS for above operations. It may be noted that MICROSYS 3200 ET is designed to withstand harsh environment conditions up to 60oC ambient and being compact in size, can be readily enclosed in Flame-proof enclosures. HMIs provided with sub-systems provide necessary interface for the local operators.
The Safety System acts as an independent stand-alone system and provides final protection layer. Safety System communicates with BPCS over redundant MODBUS–IP Ethernet communication links.
Sub-system at Fire Water Pump House manages the 2 Jockey Pumps and 8 Diesel Pumps. The system performs automatic periodic testing of engines, batteries while maintain the header pressure of Fire Water line.
System has several third-party communication interfaces. These include:
Microverse has also deployed the cloud platform – SASS. This platform integrates with DCS and provides following facilities to the users:
