关于客户
Ceská rafinérská, a. s., is the largest crude oil processing company and the largest producer of refined petroleum products in the Czech Republic. The company is a collective business of Unipetrol and the renowned international companies Eni and Shell. Established in 1995, the company is operated as a reprocessing refinery / clearing house for its manufacturers, from whom it purchases crude oil and other raw materials for processing in refineries in Litvínov or Kralupy nad Vltavou. It sells its finished products to customers both regionally and abroad.
挑战
For planning needs and quality control processes monitoring, Cˇeská rafinérská previously used traditional tools included with commonly available computer software programs. For superior prediction of process changes—both undesirable and desirable—it became necessary to acquire much more sophisticated software. Cˇeská rafinérská thus started searching for a suitable solution and, through recommendations, it found the right one in STATISTICA software from StatSoft CR. The main requirement of the company was to acquire a tool for observing the quality of products in production units. In practice, this meant observing the quality of input values so that the quality of the output values would meet specified requirements. Among the observed variables are temperature, which can influence the properties of raw materials during manufacturing, as well as the density and viscosity of the material. The goal is to monitor a massive volume of measurements with the help of appropriate software in order to achieve maximum quality according to spec, as well as to ensure optimum production scheduling.
解决方案
The implementation of STATISTICA software was very simple thanks to the user-friendly environment, and it went smoothly, as a matter of fact, with no additional training necessary. The implementation of another module, STATISTICA Automated Neural Networks™ (SANN) + Code Generator, was also carried out very easily, which clearly points out the level of advancement of this tool. Just as during the implementation, no serious problems occurred after the activation of the software, thus the intervention of the supplier was not needed. When it comes to mutual communication and regular support, cooperation with StatSoft is pleasant and absolutely professional. The price of the acquired software and its license is certainly an impressive value, given STATISTICA’s capacity.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
