Advantages of Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Monitoring Solution for Industrial Switch

Oil and gas pipelines have the characteristics of large pipe diameter, high pressure and large transmission capacity. Due to the gradual aging of the anti-corrosion coating of the pipeline, sudden natural disasters, and man-made drilling and oil theft, oil leakage occurs from time to time, which seriously threatens the safety of the oil pipeline transmission line, and leads to a series of serious consequences such as crude oil loss, environmental pollution and shutdown.

The traditional methods for detecting the leakage of oil and gas pipelines are often through detectors and manual patrols, with large errors and low efficiency. The management personnel need to monitor too many video images, which is far beyond the acceptance ability of people, resulting in low actual monitoring effect, which can not effectively ensure the safe transportation of oil and gas pipelines.

At the same time, the oil and gas pipeline needs to collect various parameters of various parameter collection points of the oil pipeline, such as pressure, flow, temperature, etc. the data is returned to the monitoring center for comprehensive analysis. As the space span of oil and gas pipelines is very large, generally speaking, they extend for hundreds of kilometers and are generally arranged in the open air, it is required that the monitoring equipment must meet this space requirement in terms of data transmission, and must be suitable for field work and have high stability.

Therefore, we should make use of advanced monitoring and emergency technologies, such as high-definition, intelligent, emergency communication, audio-video linkage and other technologies, to build a set of comprehensive prevention, key strengthening and resource sharing security system, effectively strengthen the management of oil and gas pipeline security, intuitively and timely reflect the on-site situation of important places, enhance safety assurance and emergency response measures. It has become an important choice to establish a modern management system for oil and gas pipelines at this stage.

System requirements of oil and gas pipeline on industrial Switches:

1. The industrial switch has a wide temperature working range and is suitable for harsh field environment;

2. The industrial switch has a good IP protection level to prevent dust from interfering with the system;

3. The industrial switch can work in a high humidity working environment for a long time;

4. Field work or simple machine room requires reliable protection against lightning and other natural phenomena;

5. The industrial switch supports multiple flexible networking modes.

In order to solve the above monitoring problems, we have developed a new reliable and easy to operate oil pipeline monitoring system by combining some previous monitoring methods. The system adopts the core industrial switch equipment to transmit the collected images, videos and other data to the server control center through the network. The data center can view the pipeline information at any time on the software interface through the monitoring data transmitted from the site. Moreover, the system can judge the pipeline degree data. In case of leakage, theft and other situations, the system will automatically trigger the alarm information to the personnel on duty, and the staff can quickly take measures, so as to realize the most complete and thorough management of oil pipelines.
