Yokogawa is to supply the British Pipeline Agency, a Shell/BP joint venture engineering company, with a management and control system for a major multi-product fuel pipeline system, replacing its legacy scada systems. The three integrated multi-product fuel pipelines total 650 km, extending from Ellesmere port in northwestern England to the country’s southeastern coast and London’s major airports.
Yokogawa’s Enterprise Pipeline Management Solution and Fast /Tools scada software will be deployed to schedule, monitor and control the pipelines and compressors. The EPMS supplements a basic pipeline management system with specific gas and liquid applications that help manage delivery contracts and their associated logistics. EPMS also provides a scada data management function.
