Global Pipeline Logistics
We manage a vast, continuously monitored pipeline network for the secure and efficient transportation of crude feedstock and high-value refined petroleum products across continents.
Ensuring Maximum Safety with Digital Integrity Systems
SCADA and Real-Time Monitoring
Our Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system provides 24/7 centralized monitoring and remote control of all pipeline assets. This allows immediate detection and response to anomalies, flow disruptions, and pressure deviations across the network. The system is layered with predictive analytics to identify potential issues before they become critical failures.
Internal Inspection (Pigging)
We utilize advanced In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools, commonly known as "Smart Pigs," to travel through the pipelines. These devices use magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and ultrasonic testing (UT) to map the pipe's interior, detecting microscopic metal loss, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and dimensional variations, ensuring the pipe wall integrity is maintained over decades of operation.
- Acoustic Leak Detection: Sensors listen for pressure waves caused by leaks.
- Cathodic Protection: Applying electrical current to prevent external corrosion.
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Mapping potential geotechnical hazards in real-time.
Optimizing Flow for Operational Excellence
High-Capacity Pumping Stations
Strategically placed pumping and compressor stations ensure that flow rates are maximized while minimizing energy consumption. Our state-of-the-art turbines and pumps utilize Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to precisely match power output to the required flow, reducing system wear and operational costs.
Batch Scheduling and Drag Reduction
The network supports multi-product transportation, requiring precise batch scheduling and interface detection to prevent product contamination. Furthermore, we employ **Drag Reducing Agents (DRA)** during periods of high demand to temporarily reduce friction, increase throughput, and boost delivery capacity without increasing pump pressure.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Chemical injection to protect the pipe interior from transported liquids.
- Automated Valve Control: Remotely operated valves manage flow and isolate segments instantly in emergencies.
- Thermal Monitoring: Maintaining optimal product temperature for viscosity control.
