Sinopec Pipeline Storage and Transportation Company, (Sinopec PSTC) will use the SCADA solution for remote data monitoring and control to support a range of dynamic applications.
These include alarm processing, leak detection, hydraulic analysis, pump station monitoring, throughput analysis and related applications along the 808-mile (1,300 km) pipeline.
The new digital controls will help the pipeline safely and efficiently meet the growing crude oil supply needs for six other Sinopec refining, petrochemical and fertiliser companies located along the Yangtze River in eastern China.
The new system will collect data from, and supervise control of, third-party PLCs at each of the pipeline's 14 pumping stations.
Wonderware InTouch HMI software will provide pipeline visualisation at these pumping stations.
Along the entire length of the pipeline, block valves will be remotely monitored and controlled using SCD5200 RTUs, advanced real-time SCADA processors designed to support complex remote applications.
The communications protocol for the system will be DNP3.0 over Ethernet and Fiber Optic as the backbone, backed up by PSTN.
To support the pipeline technical and operating personnel, Invensys Process Systems China will provide a range of engineering, training and on-site services.
The new SCADA implementation builds on previous Invensys control infrastructure at Sinopec PSTC.
In 2004, Invensys Process Systems China, long renowned for its pipeline expertise and technical reputation, was awarded a contract to supply SCADA systems for the Sinopec PSTC Dispatching Center in Xuzhou.
Real-time information from the new Yanjiang pipeline SCADA will be integrated with the Dispatching Center, as ultimately will information from all the Sinopec pipelines.
Invensys is also an automation supplier to other business units of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, Sinopec, the parent company of Sinopec PSTC.
