In 2015, Delta Gas Mobin Group implemented a system for the monitoring and control of the oil metering system at Genaveh Oil Terminal in Iran.
The metering system comprises ten meter runs with ultrasonic oil flow meters, including each meter run's inlet and outlet.
Meter run = a piece of pipe that is equipped with all necessary instruments
for custody transfer flow metering
Each meter run is equipped with the following elements:
To verify the accuracy of flow measurement (automatically/manually), a bidirectional pipe prover is used.
The elements of each meter run are wired to the flow computing, monitoring, and supervisory cabinet (control cabinet), which is installed in the control room. Two server PCs and two printers are located in the operator's room. Each PC is equipped with Reliance's runtime software and is connected to the control cabinet through a redundant Ethernet link. The software has different access levels, which protect the system against unwanted access. Required field and calculated signals are transferred to the distributed control system. The system is equipped with one Siemens SIMATIC S7-400H PLC to control the operation of the motor-operated isolation valves. Flow calculations are done by using thirteen Flow-X flow computers. The Reliance SCADA system communicates with the PLC and the flow computers via a redundant Modbus Ethernet link. One of the advantages of Reliance in this project is that it has built-in drivers for both the PLC and the flow computers.
The Reliance SCADA system provides the following functionality:
