Automatization of hydrocarbon storage and distribution

terminals
Our solution for the automatization of these plants has as main objective to warranty the realiability and
security in the measurement and control operations for the hydrocarbon storage terminals:

• Automatic control, register and documentation of the receipt and dispatch operations made in the
terminal
• Automatic control, register and documentation of the existences for each type of product stored in the
tanks
• Automatic control, register and documentation of the entrance and exit of the vehicles to the installations
of the plant
• Secure operation of the installations, making the monitoring of the security subsystems and automatically
confronting with risk situations detected
• Communications interfaces with SAP and the terminal billing and order systems

Hydrocarbon flow measurement

SICE makes all the necessary procedures for the systems supply, so that it is possible to measure the product
transfer according to the main international standards and recommendations (API, OIML and OSI)

SICE makes all the associated procedures to a measurement skate supply: detailed engineering, equipment
and material acquisition, mounting of the skates and electronic equipment, factory acceptance tests,
development nd configuration of the applications, and the put on service of the systems and the capacitation of
the maintenance and operation staff.

According to the product characteristics whose flow is desired to measure and the rest of desired operative
requierements (maintenance level, precision, uncertainty, etc), SICE selects for its clients the most addecuate
primary technology: ultrasonic, masic meters, turnines and others.

SICE has implemented in the last 3 years almost 100 measurement certified trains for custody transfer, 40 of
these use ultrasonic technology.

Natural gas measurement

SICE also has experience in solutions to measure gas:

• Separation and filtering

• Flow control and measurement stations
• Gas quality monitoring
• Financial volumen measurement

Gas and fire systems

Systems for the monitoring at real time of the security conditions of the installations. Designed to alert and
start inmediately the automatic answers when any contingency so that it is possible to avoid or decrease the
damages to the persons or installations.

The SICE solutions are adapted to the different requierements for the diversity of application environments of
these systems as for ground plants as for off shore ones. They include the automatic incidence detection and
alarm manual stations and the system to front with those cases.

The crytical of these systems is the programmable controller. SICE makes the selection of these equipment
according to the integrity level requirements and redundancy class requested by the client or derived from a
risk analysis study and following the recommendations to the IEC-61508 and IEC-61511.

Emergency stop systems

The main objective of these systems is the automatic analysis of the process conditions in order to prevent
risk situations or decrease their consequences and get the installations in safe situation.

It last function is therefore to protect the installations, the people and the environment front with risk situations
derived from the anomalies conditions that could be turned up in the process monitored.

SICE defines the architectures of these systems according to the client needs or in the HAZOP study (if it is
had). According to the result of these ones, the programmable equipment (PES) and apropriate instruments to
the required integrity levels (SIL).

SICE has developed these systems witmain equipment certified by TUV (TRIPLEX, ABB, GE) and it makes the
selection and integration of the equipment according to the IEC-61508 and IEC-61511 standards.
