  • development project of an automatic sampling system for part time unmanned Pipeline Terminals
    2010 8th International Pipeline Conference Volume 3, 2010
    Co-Authors: Guilherme O Moreira, Ma Rcio Manha Es Gomes De Almeida, Ricardo R Ramos, Gary Potten
    Abstract:

    The Sao Paulo–Brasilia Pipeline was designed and constructed to be highly automated and is remotely operated by the National Pipeline Control Center in Rio de Janeiro. The Terminals along the Pipeline are largely unmanned nights and weekends. The PETROBRAS quality control standard establishes practices for tracking, sampling and analyzing product batches transported through the Pipeline. A prototype of an automatic sampling system was designed to collect up to ten flow proportional and or instantaneous (“spot”) samples of different product batches transported through the Pipeline for any given programmed schedule. This would eliminate the need for operators to be present at the Terminals during weekends, holidays and night time to manually collect samples. This paper describes the successful implementation of this project from technical specification of the development of an Automatic Sampling System, the solutions proposed for its special features, the main characteristics of the Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) used to develop it and the systematic approach used for design, and factory / field testing phases.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

  • on the automatic route layout for connection of three Pipeline Terminals
    Journal of Northeastern University, 2009
    Co-Authors: Liu Qiang
    Abstract:

    Based on maze algorithm,an automatic route layout method is proposed for the connection of three Pipeline Terminals in design.With the grid pre-processing used to transform the actual space for Pipeline layout into a grid space and the maze algorithm used to simulate the characteristics of wave propagation,the appropriate position of T-pipe is found out in either case with and without obstacles.Then,a backtracking is introduced according to relevant rules to determine the feasible routes which satisfy the constraint conditions and,by data processing,are transformed into the space for Pipeline layout.Thus,based on grid pre-processing and improved maze algorithm,the flow chart of automatic route layout for three Pipeline Terminals is given.Some examples illustrate its effectiveness and practicability.
