Liquids Management System The best pipeline operators manage to make their daunting core job look simple: efficiently transporting hazardous liquids through hundreds of miles of pipeline. Tackling this challenge requires an array of complex technologies working in unison at every step to optimize performance and improve the bottom line. How do they keep product flowing while receiving and responding to real-time knowledge from all points in a system reaching across many miles? Schneider Electric offers a broad range of software available for crude oil, refined products and natural gas liquids pipeline engineering, as well as operational, measurement and business processes. Schneider Electric s suite of liquids pipeline applications is used by many of the largest operators in the industry in North, Latin and South America; western and eastern Europe; Asia; the Middle East; North Africa; and Australia. All applications are rich, robust, and flexible and can be cost-effectively integrated into existing corporate IT infrastructures to provide highly accessible information. The Schneider Electric Liquids Management System (LMS) is the world s most widely used liquids pipeline real-time operations software system. It provides an industry-leading combination of proven functionality, flexibility, redundancy, historical record keeping, enterprise integration, assured security and low implementation costs. A sampling of the broad range of processes covered includes real-time operational support, leak detection, scheduling, measurement, and batch tracking. What is Happening Right Now The trend across the pipeline industry is to process more information faster. Decisions made in real time based on the most robust knowledge possible create a competitive advantage that can improve every part of the business right through to the bottom line. To support the huge data demands of real-time performance, Schneider Electric LMS uses its proven back office capabilities to provide a solid computing foundation with support for state-of-theart servers, data repositories and communications. The system creates outage immunity using built-in support for redundant hardware sharing the regular load, and flawlessly switches to the healthiest equipment when needed. The software s standards-based open architecture adds flexibility to power, allowing customization to easily meet unique needs. Out of the box, Schneider Electric LMS integrates with Schneider Electric OASyS SCADA, employing the same database configuration tools, middleware, task monitoring facilities, database management facilities, HMI, and security infrastructure. Schneider Electric LMS is also designed to interface with enterprise applications and third-party SCADA systems already in use. Real-time operational support also includes modules for compatible product types, Flowpath, Manifold Management, and Pump Performance Curves. Liquids Management System 03
Keeping Product Where It Belongs Batch tracking computes and graphically displays batch interface and scraper locations and estimated times of arrival, triggering alarms and event messages at pre-established thresholds. The system also detects leaks the bane of every pipeline operation using pressure/flow rate and volume imbalance monitoring and linepack modeling. Scheduling and Measurement Schneider Electric LMS offers a comprehensive set of tools for real-time scheduling and measurement management. Batch reporting and inventory snapshot capabilities provide reporting as granular as needed. Metering modules include meter proving, metering and ticketing, remote meter proving and remote metering. Modules for tank management and a scheduling interface module round out the suite s scheduling and measurement capabilities. An Easy Choice to Make Schneider Electric LMS has everything needed to efficiently manage pipeline operations in real-time. Leading energy companies worldwide can attest to the power and proven performance of Schneider Electric systems. In North America alone, we manage over 60 percent of all hydrocarbon movements.
