With the rapid development of the chemical industry, the scale and number of chemical tank farms are constantly increasing. These tank farms store a large amount of hazardous chemicals, such as crude oil, refined oil, acids and alkalis, and their safety management is facing huge challenges. The traditional tank farm management method mainly relies on manual inspection and on-site monitoring, which has problems such as low efficiency, poor real-time performance, and insufficient accuracy, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern chemical production for safety and efficiency.

A certain chemical tank farm has a large site area, resulting in a heavy inspection workload. It is now required to realize real-time remote monitoring of the temperature and liquid level of each storage tank, and centrally control the valves and motors in the entire tank farm, so as to achieve rapid deployment and fault detection, reduce human input, improve work efficiency, and ensure on-site safety.

By installing industrial intelligent gateways on-site and connecting to the controller PLC, Wutong Bolian can collect real-time data such as the operating status of valves and motors, and the temperature and liquid level of storage tanks, and remotely control the valve motors, thereby ensuring the safety of storage tanks and material flow. Enterprises can realize digital and intelligent management, and use data analysis methods to improve decision-making efficiency and scientificity.

Realized Functions

1. Real-time data monitoring: The gateway collects parameters such as liquid level and temperature of storage tanks in real-time and uploads them to the cloud platform. Users can view the operation data of storage tanks in real-time through terminal devices to fully grasp the status of storage tanks.

2. Abnormal alarm and early warning: Set safety thresholds for various parameters. When the operating parameters of the storage tank exceed the thresholds, the system will immediately send alarm information through SMS, WeChat, email, etc., to remind relevant personnel to deal with it in time to prevent accidents.

3. Data report analysis: Visualize the data, generate trend curves and statistical reports to help users understand the operation rules of storage tanks. Use big data analysis methods to predict the safety status of storage tanks and detect potential risks in advance.

4. Remote management and control: Connect to PLC and cameras. Users can remotely view the monitoring video of storage tanks through the cloud platform and remotely control related equipment, such as remotely opening and closing valves, adjusting the flow of pumps, etc., to improve management efficiency.

5. Equipment management and maintenance: Record the basic information and maintenance records of storage tank equipment, conduct full life cycle management of equipment, remind users to carry out equipment maintenance, and ensure the normal operation of equipment.
