Propuesta de diseño sistema de automatización de bombas verticales para tanques sumideros en campo petrolero

Abstract

The company Multimedición controls and industrial assemblies is currently contractor of different oil companies performing maintenance tasks to hydrocarbon storage tanks and pipe lines for different production processes, according to the above the company identified the need to apply automation engineering for vertical pumps used in the drainage of hydrocarbons in sump tanks, for this purpose it is necessary to evaluate different electrical variables, from the evaluation of suitable sensors to the work, according to the different technologies that exist such as infrared, ultrasound or level radars, among others, You must select the most suitable type of connection and communication system, in such a way that you can transmit the data safely and reliably. Being a project located in oil fields will have areas with risk of explosion or as they are normally known classified areas, these areas are present in the vicinity of the tank and the pump, you should perform an analysis of areas classified according to the type of fuel that can go through the pipes. Depending on the type of fuel that is stored and the dimensions of the sump tanks, the electric power capacity that the pump will require will be selected and the most appropriate connection with the control system according to its power.
