关于客户
Badger Midstream (www.badgermidstream.com), located in Houston, Texas, is a natural gas/natural gas liquids transportation, gathering and processing midstream company created to acquire and exploit midstream assets in the natural gas energy sector. It was found to significantly improve the midstream value chain by working with customers (producers, operators, pipelines, end users and other midstream companies) to determine needs and provide real, creative, cost-effective, technical, results-oriented solutions. The company's Grey Badger site in Panhandle, Texas is a cryogenic gas processing and treatment plant with an initial capacity of 25,000 Mcf/d. It has four miles of steel NGL pipeline and 4.5 miles of 8’ steel high pressure residue pipeline. The plant is an ultra-high recovery cryo plant with ethane rejection capability, amine treating, nitrogen rejection, helium recovery, and condensate stabilization.
挑战
Badger Midstream’s Grey Badger site in Panhandle, Texas is a cryogenic gas processing and treatment plant. The company sought an HMI/SCADA solution to control all the processes of the Grey Badger gas plant including plant metering, compression monitoring, tank/pump/valve control, and the monitoring and control of 105 proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops. The new solution would replace an existing system based on a combination of two competitor products due to lack of support of their installed product versions and comparatively high costs of upgrades and yearly/ ongoing maintenance charges. Understandably, Badger wanted their new solution to be more cost-effective and easier to maintain. The selected HMI/SCADA would need to integrate with the plant’s DeltaV DCS control, Allen Bradley controllers, Emerson OPC Server, and various electronic flow meter (EFM) remote terminal units (RTUs), as well as with various plant equipment including heaters, dehydrators, vapor recovery units, separators, heat exchanges and more.
解决方案
Badger Midstream, working with system integrator, SOAP Engineering (www.soapeng.com), selected ICONICS’ GENESIS64™ HMI/SCADA suite, including WebHMI™ Web-based real-time automation software, as well as the MobileHMI™ data mobility suite. The new ICONICS software now helps to provide full plant control and metering of over 8,000 physical I/O points. Associated process displays and faceplates were streamlined, providing enhanced process clarity and control to operators compared to the former system. In addition, multiple new features were gained, such as remote monitoring, mobile displays and notifications.

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.
