An Internet Based Distributed Control Systems: A Case Study of Oil Refineries
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Internet based Distributed Control System (DCS) is presented in this paper for monitoring real time data using ordinary web browser. Each DCS will be connected to the central server which will be the system web server. The proposed system is based on the three-tier client-server model. The application server is written in C#.Net. SQL database server 2005 is used for all the DCSs local database servers and for the system database server. Monitoring real time system alarm and all historical records are considered as part of the proposed system. The North Oil Refineries of Baiji (NORB) in northern Iraq is considered as a case study for the developed system. These refineries have twelve independent DCSs which are connected in a mesh network to form one system similar to an ordinary Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.

Design of Oil Refineries Hydrogen Network Using Process Integration Principles
This paper describes the application of process integration principles to the design of oil refineries hydrogen network. In this regard, a design hierarchy as well as heuristics and required guidelines are proposed. The recommended rules compensate lack of procedure to the design and make the design process easier. The guiding principles of the design are based upon pinch technology and ext...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of work permit system performance assessment questionnaire, a case study in an Iranian oil refinery
Background: Permit-to-work system is a process used to prevent accidents in the process industries. Evaluation and monitoring of the performance of a permit to work system reveal its inherent weaknesses and reduce accidents in process industries. Since there exists no local tool for monitoring the performance of permit-to-work system in refineries and process industries, such as petrochemicals,...
متن کاملDeveloping a Multi-Layer Strategy for Securing Control Systems of Oil Refineries
The energy industry and in particular the Oil Refineries are extremely important elements in Iraq’s infrastructure. A terrorist attack on one oil refinery will have a catastrophic impact on oil production and the whole economy. It can also cause serious damage to the environment and even losses of human lives. The security of information systems and industrial control systems such as Supervisor...
متن کاملWeb-based Oil Supply Chain Game
One of the major uses of management games is as a learning tool to improve decisions made under dynamic uncertainty. This paper presents a web-based gaming mode simulation model of a supply chain concerning the procurement and supply of oil. The game mirrors the traditional oil supply chain consisting of Refineries, Storage Points, Depots and Retail Outlets. The computer controls the decisions ...
متن کاملAdvanced Analysis of Dew Point Control Unit of Hybrid Refrigeration Systems in Gas Refineries
In this paper, an advanced analysis of a novel hybrid compression-absorption refrigeration system (HCARS) for natural gas dew point control unit in a gas refinery is presented. This unit separates the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the natural gas, which is traditionally carried out by natural gas cooling in a compression refrigeration cycle (CRS). The power input required for the refrigeration...
