Why should we use SCADA/PLC instead of DCS in oil refinery?
Constructing a highly stable and reliable SCADA/PLC system instead of DCS must realize automatic management and control of oil refinery process in order to avoid the waste of manpower, physical resources, and also to increase the safety of workers.
Can a SCADA/PLC system control a whole oil refinery?
Oil and gas refineries generally rely on a Distributed Control System (DCS) to provide all process and equipment control functionality. In this paper, a SCADA/PLC system is used to control a whole oil refinery instead of the conventional control through DCS.
What is a SCADA in oil refinery?
SCADA refers to the combination of As explained before, an oil refinery process consists of four main units: crude oil storage unit, crude oil pretreatment unit, distillation unit and products storage/dispatch unit. In this paper, three SCADA GUIs are designed to monitor and control oil refinery gas processes.
How do SCADA GUIs control oil refinery gas processes?
In this paper, three SCADA GUIs are designed to monitor and control oil refinery gas processes. The motor operated valve (MOV-01) opens and pump (P-01) suctions the crude oil and feeds it to (TK-01). The differential pressure flow rate transmitter (FT-01) measures the crude oil flow rate to (TK-01).
