G Balaji, SVP, Head of Energy Industries, ABB India said, "ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and leak detection system will allow Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) to remotely monitor and control vital pipeline parameters such as flow, pressure, and temperature, as well as detect leaks. ABB solutions will provide real-time data on the performance of the pipeline network by generating reports, history sheets, critical messages, and alarms, all of which will maximise efficiency and safety."
The diesel will be transported from NRL’s marketing terminal at Siliguri, to the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation's oil depot in Parbatipur. Approximately 6 km of the pipeline – which is the first of its type between the two countries - will be within the territory of India, with the remainder within the territory of Bangladesh.
“With ABB's system, we can effectively monitor and optimize our pipeline operations by having access to real-time information, detailed analysis, and timely interventions,” said Rahul Goswami, Chief Manager Projects, Numaligarh Refinery Ltd.
“ABB is a reliable partner in the field of automation, and their prior experience with cross-country pipeline projects proved beneficial,” he added.
