Company makes pipeline control investment
A contract with Slovnaft will see CSE Servelec configure, install and commission a new control system, which will include Scada, PLCs, instrumentation and telecommunications.
The CSE Servelec solution will ensure 100% availability of the pipeline, even under failure conditions, to guarantee the gas supply is never interrupted.
This will be achieved from the main control room (MCR) at Taweelah using CSE Servelec's advanced, open distributed Scope-Xtel SCADA software.
In addition, an independent backup control room will be located at Al Ain, providing full emergency monitoring and control facilities in the event of a major failure at the MCR.
All elements of the system will be duplicated to enable duty/standby operation.
A fibre optic telecommunications network will communicate with remote telemetry units (RTUs) at various locations around the pipeline.
This will provide interconnectivity between the remote sites and the operations centres at Al Maqta, Taweelah and Al Ain, allowing high-speed data communications between these sites.
Flow, temperature and pressure data will be collected, in addition to information for assistance with monitoring for fire, battery management, cathodic protection and intruder alarms.
Replacement RTUs will be provided for 31 existing RTU sites.
These will be based on the Kingfisher range of outstation equipment.
In addition to the contract award, CSE Servelec has also won a long-term support agreement for all Dolphin's UAE SCADA operations, including the EGDS SCADA system.
The long-term service agreement, up to 30 years, provides a comprehensive package of SCADA products and services including the management of Siemens OTN telecommunications support agreement, and HIMA safety systems support.
