ISM Connect

Overcome any inherent inconsistencies through the rationalising of existing class libraries and by imposing consistent and compliant standards

ISM (Information Standards Management)

A solution from AVEVA that empowers you to overcome any inherent inconsistencies.

It achieves this by rationalising existing class libraries and by imposing consistent, compliant standards which information must conform to. It allows for more efficient business processes, without the costs and risks associated with replacing several individual authoring applications. Information Standards Management is available as a SaaS solution through AVEVA Connect, AVEVA’s cloud platform.

Information Standards Management works with all existing information sources and authoring applications. This allows your standards management to not constrain or drive your business requirements in any manner. You are therefore not tied to any particular authoring tool, while your engineers are always free to make use of the best tool for the job.

AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor

Preventing, detecting and mitigating pipeline leaks

Experience Integrity Operations

Following a holistic approach with regards to the pipeline, commodity releases hold benefits for the public, the environment, as well as pipeline operators. Such an approach consolidates leak prevention, leak detection and leak mitigation into a complete, pipeline integrity programme.

Integrity Operations assists operators in finding the right intersection between risk, cost and safety, as new industry initiatives and standards become available. Pipeline operators have trusted AVEVA to deliver leak-detection software as a core component of their pipeline control systems for over 30 years.

AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor

AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor delivers comprehensive Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM) methodologies for detecting leaks allowing companies to select the CPM best suited for their specific pipeline.

Integrity Operations

Integrity Operations offers comprehensive Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM) methodologies for detecting leaks. This enables companies to select the CPM best suited for their particular pipeline.

Pipeline Leak Prevention

Most pipeline operating companies have an Integrity Management Programme (IMP) outlining what preventative activities would be performed in order to prevent a commodity release.

These preventative activities normally take place at a set frequency. It can be daily, weekly, monthly, or even once a year. There are very few tools, available at present, that allow for the real-time prevention of a commodity release.

Integrity Operations fills this void by empowering pipeline operators with preventative features, such as real-time over/under pressure detection analysis. Integrity Operations was designed to prevent failures before they become incidents demanding reaction.

Pipeline Leak Detection

Integrity Operations comprises several Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM) methodologies. These can be applied for detecting a commodity release that has occurred.

A leak may take place as a result of various occurrences. These can include a defect somewhere along the pipeline, theft, operating outside of limits, digging near a pipeline or other causes. Integrity Operations can detect such incidents with line balance, real-time transient model (RTTM), as well as pressure/flow monitoring methodologies as outlined in API RP 1130.

These methodologies can be applied for detecting a variety of leaks or commodity releases on a specific pipeline. These include rupture, unlawful tap and shut-in leak detection. This method factors in the unique characteristics of each pipeline.

Pipeline Leak Mitigation

Once a commodity release has been detected, the pipeline company responsible will invoke their emergency response plan. Typically, they would dispatch emergency personnel to the leak site and inform them of the leak’s location and severity.

Integrity Operations supports the pipeline controller by providing impact assessment analysis tools. These tools perform a location analysis and assist in estimating the volume lost.

AVEVA Production Accounting

Make consistent business decisions by enabling improved reconciled material balance information

Increased Efficiency Through Improved Tracking

Unaccounted losses for refineries, petrochemical plants and other processing facilities remain a challenge. Yield Accounting addresses this crucial issue.

This solution improves efficiency with data reconciliation. It does so by locating errors in raw plant data, then closing the mass balance and production accounting. Doing so enables the plant to better account for products and feedstock, as product yield tracking and material tracking accounts for inventory, as well as pinpoints losses.

ErrorSolver Yield Accounting Features

The AVEVA Yield Accounting Solution offers petrochemical and refining companies improved material accounting of their raw material, inventory and products. This improved accounting allows for reduced unaccounted and real losses and identifies faulty instruments, which results in an improved bottom line.

Tank Inventory System (TIS)

TIS offers a uniform approach for the management of tank inventory information and a single-window interface to all major gauging systems (for example Varec, LandJ, Saab and Enraf).

TIS calculates, displays and historically archives all level, temperature, volume, operating state, as well as quality and alarm data related to a tank and its contents. TIS supplies information to the operator in order to safely operate the tank.

It also provides information to all other Refinery Off-sites Software Suite modules and external operational and decision support systems.

Order and Movement Manager (OMM)

The OMM system offers operations teams a consistent and convenient tool for translating business orders into process movements for execution. Orders can be downloaded electronically, or they can be entered manually and then broken down into separate movements.

AVEVA Energy Performance

Optimise equipment performance and reduce energy consumption in production operations

Why Effective Energy Management in Manufacturing Plants Is Crucial

Energy comprises the highest operating costs in a manufacturing plant. This explains why improving energy efficiency can also improve profitability significantly. Monitoring energy consumption, then transforming energy data into relevant context, comprises the foundation of effectively optimised energy consumption.

Tailored for Manufacturing Operations

Energy Performance is a complete solution. It converts data from disparate sources into actionable information, so empowering manufacturers to cut down on energy costs, monitor power quality and improves the performance of equipment. Its modular design enables businesses to get started fast in order to meet immediate needs. The scalable solution can also be easily expanded to meet evolving energy management needs.

Comprehensive Energy Monitoring System

Energy Performance enables data disaggregation through integrating production and energy data with a full range of AVEVA’s smart meters. This allows for the optimisation of energy consumption, as well as the reduction of unforeseen downtime through asset reliability.

Energy Performance offers a comprehensive view of energy cost allocation; demand and power factor management; power quality awareness; capacity management and electrical and mitigation equipment status.

Pre-Defined Intelligence Model

Energy Performance is equipped with a pre-defined intelligence model that fits the batch-manufacturing environment. This cuts down on engineering time during the development of the model, allowing for fast and easy deployment. It also enables the backfilling of data.

Standard Reports with Operational Contexts

Standard reports offer insights into process energy consumption:

Asset energy details – tabular report for ease of upload to SAP
Energy timeline – Energy KPI data and its breakdown
Energy analysis – Energy data with Pareto of operational contexts
Energy utilisation – Energy data shown side-by-side with operational contexts

Electrical Network Reliability

Energy Performance makes the monitoring of power network quality in real-time possible. When it discovers an abnormal power operation, notifications and alerts are generated.

This supports the facility or maintenance team in identifying root causes – from the electrical source to production equipment. It also allows for the rectification of problems before sensitive electrical equipment may be damaged.
