PLC Design Based On Monitoring Crude Oil Vessel

Abstract

A PLC is a digital computer used to automate electromechanical processes. PLC is frequently used when implementing automated control, which is an important part of many modern industries. This research is based on monitoring Level Temperature Pressure Flow and water cut of crude oil in the vessel by using ABB Programmable Logic Controller . Automatic control of crude oil in vessel can work continuously and can provide accurate quantity of crude in less time. In such process there is no need of labor so there is no human error. Without human error, the quality of product is better and the cost of production would definitely decrease . The purpose of the research is to replace the manual system being used in the industry, compare the time, and manpower requirement for both the existing system with the proposed automated system.
