We are selected refinery to design and implement its terminal automation system to cost-effectively enhance system reliability and availability for bitumen loading operations at the refinery’s Eastham Terminal.
The scalable, enterprise level midstream logistics management solution based on tank terminal automation software and DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) is helping the terminal achieve its goals of digitally transforming its operations and accelerating on a path toward top quartile performance.
Our previous system resulted in many operator interventions on a daily basis. Today, there are practically zero interventions due to the reliability of our new system, leading to a significant reduction in downtime and maintenance costs.
The accuracy and performance of tank terminal automation solution have also helped us maximise tanker load quantities and minimise the potential for safety incidents. As a result, loading delays that were commonplace are no longer a burden and our customer service levels have significantly improved.
Addressing critical system and asset availability issues requires modernisation, and our integrated solution is enabling optimisation. Operators can now access real-time inventory levels and other operational data on demand to minimise costly errors and delays.
Tank terminal automation solution includes TerminalManager software for management of terminal operations and commercial activities and the DeltaV DCS for accurate blending control and movement.
