Automation

The feeding and discharging processes in the refined oil tank farm are not under automated control, which does not meet the requirements for automated control. Is it necessary to install a quick shut-off valve in order to achieve automated control?

Automated control does not necessarily require the installation of a quick shut-off valve. Automatic control can include a variety of devices and technologies, such as sensors, control systems, and actuators. Installing quick shut-off valves is a way to improve safety, as it allows for the rapid cessation of material flow in emergency situations; however, achieving automation requires the integration of various elements such as monitoring, data collection, and control strategies. .

Guess what, “automatic control” can be understood as an automatic control system. A control system generally consists of a sensing element, a controller, and an actuator (eyes, brain, hands and feet). The automatic control system for material inflow and outflow in the oil tank area may refer to the control of flow rates and pressures during inflow and outflow, as well as the automatic control of the liquid level in the oil tanks, and it includes alarm and emergency functions. Having only an emergency shut-off valve does not constitute an automatic control system. A simpler automatic level control. Once a feed rate or pressure is set, the oil feed pump will operate at that value ; When the oil tank level reaches the set high-level alarm threshold, operation is stopped ; Automatic feeding at low levels. The discharge volume control is the opposite. With more advanced control, it is possible to set the oil level in the tank. The discharge volume can fluctuate within a certain range; by adjusting the feed volume, the oil level is automatically kept near the set value. It also comes equipped with relevant safety functions (alarm, emergency release). In reality, ask the person who posed this question what constitutes automation. Which irrigation area has achieved automation? Go and learn from it*.
