A Lease Automatic Custody Transfer unit or LACT unit measures the net volume and quality of liquid hydrocarbons.A LACT unit measures volumes in the range of 100 to 7,000 barrels (16 to 1,100 m 3) of oil per day.(*LACTs can transfer/measure more than 7000 bbls/day) This system provides for the automatic measurement, sampling, and transfer of oil from the lease location into a pipeline.
Automatic lubrication system installed on computer numerical control machine. Automatic lubrication systems (ALS), also known as centralized lubrication systems (CLS), are mechanical devices used in industrial machines and engines to apply specified quantities of a lubricant to distribution points while the machine is operating.
Fuel-oil management system (FOMS) is a recent development in the field of electric power by which the fuel oil level in any power plant or any industry can be monitored and controlled using programmable logic controller and supervisory control and data acquisition.
Automated fueling or robotic fueling involves the use of automation to remove human labor from the fueling process. The fueling is performed by a robotic arm, which opens the car's flap, unscrews the cap, picks up the fuel nozzle and inserts it into the tank opening.
CIP started as a manual practice involving a balance tank, centrifugal pump, and connection to the system being cleaned. Since the 1950s, CIP has evolved to include fully automated systems with programmable logic controllers, multiple balance tanks, sensors, valves, heat exchangers, data acquisition and specially designed spray nozzle systems ...
Lights-out manufacturing is the methodology of fully automating the production of goods at factories and other industrial facilities, such as to require no human presence on-site. Many of these factories are considered to be able to run "with the lights off," but few run exclusively lights-out production.
In 1771 Richard Arkwright invented the first fully automated spinning mill driven by water power, known at the time as the water frame. [23] An automatic flour mill was developed by Oliver Evans in 1785, making it the first completely automated industrial process. [24] [25] A flyball governor is an early example of a feedback control system. An ...
A wide range of analysis instruments are used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. [1] [16] Chromatography – to measure the quality of product or reactants; Density (oil) – for custody metering of liquids; Dewpoint (water dewpoint and hydrocarbon dewpoint) to check the efficiency of dehydration or dewpoint control plant
