Maximize Pipeline Capabilities
You are under constant pressure to maximize pipeline usage, meet increasingly demanding delivery schedules and reduce operating and maintenance costs, while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and operation security.
Your pipelines have multiple sources, intermediate storage and delivery points, all linked through a complex array of segments containing pump stations or compressor stations, valves stations, metering stations and terminals. The efficient and secure operation of these resources requires close monitoring and powerful control capabilities. Reliability and reduced downtime is a must to meet delivery schedules. Coordination of facilities and timely response to market needs requires real-time connection to planning systems.
Integrated Architecture offers a way of meeting all these demands at three capability levels: pipeline automation, monitoring and safety, and connectivity to enterprise information systems, with specific solutions to meet your pipeline operation challenges.
- Pump Station Automation
- Compressor Station Automation
- Metering Station Automation
- Block Valve Automation
- Supervisory System (SCADA)
- Interface to RTU's and production facility controllers
- Data Repository for both real-time and historical data
- Display functions for secure operations
- Verified and protected command functions
- Web-enabled or remote operations
- Interface to historian and enterprise systems
- Application software for leak detection and location, inventory management, and accounting

Visualization software allows your operators, maintenance and engineering personnel to stay in control of the pipeline. With our ViewAnywhere strategy, a consistent visualization platform can be deployed at all levels of the system: compact operator panels and local HMIs at the stations, as well as the central control system. Whether it is implementing a delivery plan, monitor/control the operation, or maintain overall safety, the RSView SE Supervisory software provides the advanced visualization and control tools to:
