A supervisory control and data acquisition (scada) system that, among other duties, handles approximately 400 control sequences along with leak detection and batch management, has been installed in an Indian products pipeline. The 1,443-km (896-mile) Kandla-Bhatinda multiproduct pipeline consists of two inlet stations, four pumping stations, five delivery stations, and two terminal stations and is equipped with 85 block valves. All the stations can launch and receive scrappers. The new scada system consists of 10 station control centers (SCC) and one master control center (MCC) located along the pipeline. The paper describes the new system, network, scada management, application software, real-time models, batch management, predictive and trainer models, reliability, availability, and product interface.
