PipelineManager Software for Batch Tracking
Track batches using hydraulic modeling and/or commercial properties with Emerson’s flexible PipelineManager™ Software for Batch Tracking. Three modules are available to meet your unique operational requirements. The Hydraulic Batch Tracking Module implements our real-time transient modeling (RTTM) technology to ensure accurate modeling of pipeline hydraulic properties, enabling accurate prediction of batch arrival times, continuous monitoring of inventory in real time, and contamination prevention between batches. Our Batch Tracking Module seamlessly integrates with necessary software and systems, providing data unification across your planning, scheduling, operations, and accounting teams. It includes detailed models for various pipeline components and can estimate real-time tickets. Our Scraper Module enables operators to track different types of scrapers within a pipeline and report the estimated time of arrival for each one, enabling a faster restart after maintenance. While each module can operate independently, integrating all three modules delivers greater operational efficiencies while improving drag-reducing agent (DRA) usage and scraper management.

Features

  • Accurately predict batch arrival times.
  • Monitor inventory levels in real-time as hydraulic properties changes.
  • Reduce costs by modeling when, where, and how much DRA is needed to inject into the pipeline.
  • Prevent contamination by effectively monitoring the batch interface.
  • Reliably track batch volumes by integrating with SCADA systems.
  • View historical details for each batch, including when it started and when it completed delivery, the scheduled volumes versus actual volumes, and more.
  • Collect scraper data, monitor maintenance, and respond quickly to issues.
