Monitored and operated 24/7, control rooms collect, analyze, and interpret various pressure, temperature, flow rate, storage volumes, and compositions that are collected along the pipeline route and throughout the facilities. Information management is key to the success of the process.
Emerson's SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system and the RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit), when engineered in conjunction with the leak detection system, creates a more robust solution. Combined with a well-defined terminal management solution (Syncade) and inventory management system, the safety and quality challenges of the pipeline and facilities can be efficiently managed.
