Tank farm inventoryand movement managementTank Inventory SystemThe Tank Inventory System (TIS) provides a uniformapproach for managing tank inventory information andsingle-window interface to all major gauging systems(e.g., Varec, Saab, L&J, Enraf). TIS calculates, displays,and historically archives all level, volume, temperature,quality, operating state, and alarm data related to atank and its contents. TIS provides information to theoperator to safely operate the tank, and to all otherAVEVA Offsites Management modules and externaloperational and decisionsupport systems.TIS stores strapping tables, performs American Societyfor Testing and Materials/ American Petroleum Institute(ASTM/API) table volume and density corrections,estimates flow rate from level changes, continuouslyupdates Time-to-Completion and Time-to-Limits,provides level and tank operational states and alarms,and generates standard tank detail, pool, and midnightinventory reports.TIS can provide the necessary tank data for optionalon-line Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tankemissions monitoring, calculation, and reporting.Accurate online tank status data managed by thetank information system is the foundation for closedloop movement and blend control and optimizationwithin the Refinery Off-sites. All additional functionalmodules leverage TIS information through the commonapplication architecture. All modules are empoweredto ensure efficient, reliable and secure movementand blending operations specifically for oil andpetrochemical products.04AVEVA Offsites Management

Order and Movement ManagementThe Order and Movement Management (OMM) systemprovides a convenient and consistent tool for thetranslation of business orders into process movementsto be executed by the Operations staff. Orders can bedownloaded electronically or manually entered andbroken down into discrete movements.The OMM system tracks in real-time, recording thehistory of each movement and order. Volume and timeare updated continuously to complete the calculations.Movement data are validated using all available metersand gauges.The system is used by Planning and Operations toschedule, set up, monitor, and historize all tank farmmovements. It handles all receipts, transfers, rundowns,and shipment orders (for any tank/unit/transportsources and destinations), as well as blending and othercomplex operations. Accounting uses the movementhistory data for mass balance reconciliation and forimproved billing accuracy.Terminal management functions are included with theuser interface and database structure to handle truck,rail, and vessel transport equipment with configurabletime sheet logging for demurrage tracking. Docksmanagement is facilitated with Estimated Time ofArrival (ETA)/lay date/lay day visibility and drag-anddrop berth assignment in a real-time Gantt chart. OMMcan also be used to manage ownership of “comingled”product in leased tankage in independent terminals.Standard order and movement level reports areincluded with the package and custom reports can bedeveloped as necessary.An optional Product Composition Tracking (PCT)module manages all incoming and outgoing flows tocalculate material compositions of any tank. An optionalTank Quality Integration (TQI) module can calculateany quality of the aggregate product using linear ornonlinear models. All data are stored in AVEVA OffsitesManagement database for use in all oil movement andblending applications.05AVEVA Offsites Management

Movement Automation SystemMobileMAS supports a wide range of rugged mobilehandheld devices to accommodate even the moststringent hazardous or environmental requirements.MobileMAS is built on the Wonderware IntelaTrac technology. MobileMAS handheld devices are readyto support operator inspection rounds leveragingWonderware IntelaTrac, the industry-leading mobileworkforce and decision making support system forremote data collection, event tracking, procedureexecution and validation.Complete automation of movements are achievedwith the Movement Automation System (MAS). MASperforms automatic and optimal path selection, checksequipment availability, verifies product compatibility,and executes the movement sequential control logicusing expert system technology and a site-specificknowledge base.Tank farm topology is configured in a graphicalobject-oriented environment. This allows immediateupdates to reflect the ever-changing physicalconfiguration of tank farms. Each movement categoryis assigned a state diagram, movement operations, andmovement calculations.Mobile Extension for the MovementAutomation SystemThe Mobile Extension to the Movement AutomationSystem (MobileMAS) closes the collaboration gapbetween the field and control room operators. Today,typical verbal synchronization is error prone due tomisunderstandings in communication, mix up and lackof verifications, leading to operator errors and falsecontrol system status.MobileMAS delivers a mobile tool for field operatorsthat contains all of the field procedures involvedto prepare the line setup for movements andcommunicates updated equipment status in real-timeto the control system using mobile handheld devicesand wireless technology. Setting up MobileMAS is easy.Field procedures are automatically generated anddeployed to the handheld devices.MobileMAS enforces line up sequences and equipmentidentification by radio frequency identification (RFID)location tags deployed, so operators are certain theyare at the right piece of equipment. Any equipmentstatus change confirmation entered as new statusby the operator is communicated with the scannedequipment identifier to the control system. Any fieldto control room operator verbal communication andpotential control room operator errors are eliminated.The control system is automatically updated withaccurate equipment status information, which isa step change in status accuracy of manuallyoperated equipment.06AVEVA Offsites Management

Material BalanceThe Material Balance (MAB) module provides thematerial balance for a single site or over multiple sites.Based on a chosen period defined by the user MABtakes the starting inventory, the quantity moved overthe period and the ending inventory and calculates abalance. Any imbalances are clearly indicated, andthe user interface allows for quickly zooming in to theroot cause.Fixing imbalances is done by correcting invalid data,changing the reported inventory or material movedand/or entering transactions to book against the error.The views and calculations of the material balanceaccounting module provide the extra information anaccountant can use to make booking decisions. Finally,the MAB software can report the consolidated andchecked dataset.Batch Tracking ManagerThe Batch Tracking Manager (BTM) module is capableof tracking batches, mainly in large pipelines whichcontain multiple batches at a given time. BTM candetermine the exact location of batches in a pipelineand model the interface between batches of differentproducts adjacent in a pipeline.BTM can inform the operator about batches and batchinterfaces at defined positions of the pipeline. Theoperator or other modules can be informed which batchis currently passing a pipeline location, what the nextbatch will be and how much time it takes for the nextbatch to reach a pipeline location.Emission Monitoring SystemThe Emission Monitoring System (EMS) moduleperforms real time tank emission calculations accordingto the AP42 standard of the EPA.From a tank gauging system or the Tank InventorySystem (TIS) the EMS receives tank data such as level,temperature and volumes and continuously calculatesthe emissions for each tank.The emission calculations comprise of breathinglosses, expellation losses, evaporation losses and totalemission. The results of the emission calculations arestored in the AVEVA Offsites Management databasefor emissions audits and for creating reports.07AVEVA Offsites Management
