Abstract :
The techniques and systems described in this paper clearly establish the advantages of a well designed telemetering and remote control system for the proper and safe operation of any pipeline or petroleum processing plant to enable the dispatcher or plant operator at a central control office to be informed of the operating condition of the equipment at the various pump, process or compressor stations along the pipeline or at the plant. This concentration of information data, enables a check and record of delivery schedules, efficiency of station operation, product losses, fail-safe conditions, alarm conditions and other pertinent general data. Digital or tone type telemetering provide an efficient and economical media for such systems.
