STUDY OF INTEGRAL ROLE OF MEASUREMENT DEVICES AND DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM : CASE STUDY FOR ATBARA PUMP STATION

Abstract

The distributed control systems (DCS) are increasingly being used by control engineers to achieve tighter controls of processes in various industries.

Each DCS application is unique in the sense, that the DCS system configuration depends on the process flow and equipment specific to the plant and specific needs of the plant in terms of control strategies, operator displays logging and reporting, and alarm management system…etc.

The objective of this research is to study the integral role of DCS and measurement devices to protect Sudanese petroleum pipe lines company (SPPC), and I dedicated my study in ATBARA pump station.
