Automation As a result of the work performed and as a sign of partnership Schneider Electric granted us Modicon's quality and training certificates for control engineering and technology in 1999. 2004 Schneider Electric Eesti AS granted us the certificate of control system integrators
Automation Application overview • Infrastructure • Shale oil production • Application main task • Produce from heavy shale oil lighter high quality oil • ACS main tasks • Providefaultless and economical as possible automatic control of application processes • Fast and accurate reaction to possible emergency situations in processes • Displaying and saving process data for better quality and later analyze • Main difficulties • Ex environment • Preserve maximal capability to work of system while faults appear in system or devices related to system
Automation Process overview • Heavy oil and petrol will be pumped to blending tank • Particles separation module (centrifuge) will be started with light oil • Heavy oil blended with petrol will be pumped to centrifuge while centrifuge is ready for production • Light (clean) oil goes from centrifuge to light oil tank, heavy fraction (sludge ) to sludge tank • Most of separated heavy oil (sludge) will be transported to factory for reprocessing, little part will be mixed with blended heavy oil for separating process (back to centrifuge)

Automation ACS implementation methodology • For its high work capability and good efficiency Unity Quantum CPU65150 was used to guarantee realization of system requirements. Configuration of PLC includes backplane expansion • For satisfying system high safety requirements Preventa XMF3502 was used • For displaying process data, notifying about emergency situations and saving meter’s data Monitor Pro was used • For displaying process in operators computer was used one picture over 4 monitors • New Workstation with 2 monitors was added for supervisor of main control room
