PipePatrol Data acquisition
Data transmission solution for pipelines
- Reliable systems for data acquisition and transmission and components for data encryption
- Particularly safe communication, fulfilling the latest safety standards
Reliable data transmission from the field forms the basis for making informed decisions in the control room. Together with our partners we provide a large number of reliable systems for data acquisition and transmission. This is based on infrastructures that guarantee a particularly reliable transmission and on components for data encryption.
At different measuring stations, precise time stamps are added to data concerning flow rate, pressure, and temperature; then this data is transmitted to the control system. Even under harsh environmental conditions with fluctuations in temperature, the particularly robust components allow reliable data transmission over the respective distances. The transmission options, e.g. Internet connections secured via VPN tunnel and SHDSL, mobile, Radio line, and WLAN connections, are all adapted to local conditions and enable optimal data transmission.
Highlights
- Comprehensive transmission options for individual infrastructures, e.g. Internet connections secured via VPN tunnel and SHDSL, mobile, Radio line, and WLAN connections
- Adapted to local conditions and enable optimal data transmission
- Complete, well coordinated system solutions from a single source
Typical applications
- Crude oil pipelines from oil fields to refineries
- Multiproduct pipelines from refineries to tank farms
- Subsea pipelines from FPSO units and platforms
- Non-continuously operated transport pipelines (e.g. for jet fuel)
- Water pipelines from desalination plants to cities
- Natural gas pipelines
