The Challenge

A GSPC (Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation) Group company; GSPL is a pioneer in developing energy transportation infrastructure and connecting natural gas supply sources including LNG terminals to growing markets. The company transports over 22.99 MMSCMD of natural gas to around 133 Customers. Their customers include Refineries, Steel Plants, Fertilizer Plants, Petrochemical Plants, Power Plants, Glass industries, Textiles, Chemical, City Gas Distribution Companies and other miscellaneous industries. The major challenges GSPL was facing were: - Prohibitively High Energy Bills. - Lack of Monitoring Solutions to track energy consumption across the entire pipeline. - Inability to Gather Data from all 124 terminal stations into a central location. - Inability to do a Comprehensive Data Analysis to balance consumption. Requirements In addition to addressing the challenges, GSPL also had some additional requirements, such as: - Automated Data Collection. - Alarms and Alerts for specific electrical parameters that require special attention. - Actionable Insights for Proactive and Autonomous energy management. - Online Platform to monitor, analyze and act. - Centralized Remote Monitoring and Analysis.

The Solution

A comprehensive audit of the facility was performed to understand the problem. SenseGrow’s partner, LogicLadderTM, used ioEYETM to deploy their energy-monitoring product and brought GSPL data in to our platform. Data of various energy parameters was collected continuously and in real time. This data was used to present daily and monthly reports, based on which GSPL was able to reduce their energy bills. The Energy intelligence services provided by SenseGrow enabled our client to take a structured approach towards energy management.

Remote Wellhead Monitoring

Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless

One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
