AUMAs local representative in Indonesia, PTC, supplied the complete solution including system integration as a turnkey project to Pertamina. Experts from PTC not only mounted all the actuators but also laid down all the power and fieldbus cables and installed all electrical connections. They also provided parameterisation and commissioning of all the actuators and hassle free integration into the SCADA system. Pertamina is the state owned company that is responsible for the crude oil and gas production and processing in Indonesia.
AUMA has supplied a turnkey valve automation solution to Indonesian oil and gas major Pertamina. The scope of delivery includes 12 SAEx multi turn electric actuators with ACExC integrals control plus a SIMA control system. The delivery is the first phase of an expansion project at the TBBMs Manggis LPGtank farm on the island of Bali.
AUMAs SIMA control system was successfully integrated into the tank farms existing SCADA system. It uses the open and standardised Modbus RTU protocol to communicate with the exisiting valves and actuators and the higher level SCADA system. The actuators connect to the SIMA control system in a ring topology with integrated redundancy. At SCADA level the AUAM system with its Modbus RTU communications operates in parallel to an existing system with older actuators using a propreitory communications protocol.
"This project establishes that a step by step upgrade to an AUMA system can be integrated into an existing plant at any time without any probems." says Stefan Kolbe sales director south east asia at AUMA. "The customer specifically appreciates the flexibility and the future proofness of the investment thanks to the open fieldbus standards." They also see benefits in the short response time of the AUMA solution, which allows for optimised process control.
