In the first of this blog series, Matthew Hawkridge, chief technology officer, explains how Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) can be used to optimise the performance and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines.

RTU are smaller, low power, lower cost devices primarily used to convert electrical signals from instrumentation to data, and to make that data available to the SCADA Host. EFM are special, for purpose RTUs build to perform measurement in compliance with …

Yokogawa’s gas flow calculation APPF (application portfolios) can be used for gas flow measurement. APPFs consist of various software components in which an autonomous controller can perform control functions without writing custom code – a true turnkey solution.

While oil and gas pipelines are essential to the industry, they are not fail-safe. Structural failures including corrosion, cracks and leaks are common issues that companies must resolve quickly and effectively to minimize downtime and interruptions, along with increasing efficiency.

of oil and gas functionality. Gathering and transport pipelines are the main recourses in the oil & gas midstream process. Typically, these sites are fully automated. To optimize operations, remote terminal units (RTU) or PLC are used for monitoring and control from a centralized SCADA or DCS. Remote automation devices support a range of functions,

This complete turnkey solution improves management of pipeline assets at lower capital and lifecycle costs. ControlEdge RTU, enhanced with native redundancy, expanded input/output (I/O) modules

Mar 5, 2020 · So how do you choose the best remote terminal unit (RTU) for your oil and gas remote site? What are the key factors? We've boiled it down to a few. You are going to want a rugged RTU that withstands freezing cold, boiling heat, extreme rain and wind, and whatever else the elements throw its way.

Dec 12, 2021 · In this article, Matthew Hawkridge, chief technology officer at Ovarro, examines how TBox-MS Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) were used in the extreme conditions of the China-Russia crude oil pipeline. The China-Russia pipeline begins in Mohe, China’s most northern city.

In this article, Matthew Hawkridge, chief technology officer, examines how Ovarro TBox-MS Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) were used in the extreme conditions of the China-Russia crude oil pipeline.

For decades now, remote terminal units (RTUs) have been a key component in the data chain from the I/O to the CEO. These devices have a longstanding track record of sitting on remote wellheads, pipelines and offshore platforms, and collecting, storing and acting upon data.
