Implementación de un sistema de monitoreo de flujo, volumen, temperatura y grado API para la Estación Reductora del Poliducto Shushufindi Quito (P.SH.Q) y cambio del sistema de medición de combustible.

Abstract

In the processes and operations of the hydrocarbon industry, flow measurement is of utmost importance, since from oil wells or refineries there are several processes in which a custody transfer is made. In the Shushufindi Quito Pipeline, several custody transfers are carried out, from the tanks of the Shushufindi pumping head station passing through the different pumping stations until reaching the Reducing Station in the Beaterio Terminal. The objective of this titling work is to change the fuel flow meter to a mass type and change the monitoring system to improve its operation. At the moment there is a turbine-type meter, which has measurement failures because it tends to get stuck due to the accumulation of particles and sediments typical of the operation in the transport of hydrocarbons. In the operating room, a monitoring system will be implemented which indicates the variables of volume, pressure, temperature and API degree in real time, to allow the operator to make decisions for the control of the process, and has a storage system of information and presentation of reports both for internal accounting and for control agencies.
