OCEANTECH - Typical Applications

Tanker Terminal Monitoring Systems

The safety of tankers loading at sea has been increased the installation of a hazardous area monitoring and shut-down system on the single point mooring and jetties. These systems can be solar powered and are built to experience the worst environmental conditions including wave crash and tanker collision.

Das Island oil import and export terminals are monitored by Oceantech's SCADAplus with remote monitoring on the jetty and SPM loading point. Further remote control is available for each tanker.

Pipelines can carry crude oil from a number of offshore platforms under different ownership and in different tax areas. The Oceantech system tracks the allocation of the pipeline between users and customers.

Oil And Gas Allocation System

Allocation of hydrocarbon sales revenue from North Sea oilfields are calculated based on the financial contracts that exist between each of the fields partners and the purchasers. Even though the hydrocarbon products are co-mingled within the transport pipeline, the software allows the purchasers to by gas or oil from any field on the pipeline network. This system fulfils the requirements of the Department of Energy via automatic production of PPRS reports.

Gas Field Control systems - Middle East

Control of an entire field of platforms is performed by a dual VAX computer running in dual redundant mode with software packages specifically designed and tested for hot standby. Secure communications and full ESD and alarm handling capabilities make this systems one of the most comprehensive SCADA installations. Interfaces with DCS systems via serial communications has been completed with code written by

Remote Control Of Unmanned Platforms

The operations control and shut-down of unmanned platforms has been accomplished with the development of the worlds first intrinsically safe RTU/PLC system. This pioneering system allows full control without the need to construct safe areas to house conventional control equipment within the confines of the platform.

Structural Monitoring

The monitoring of dynamic structures requires real time data capture and processing. has developed expertise in strain and acceleration monitoring of large structures under the influence of wind and mechanical vibration. Typical applications are for bridges, tall buildings, and heave compensation for ships.
