Better Usage, Better Efficiencies, Better Value

An active tank terminal can be a veritable beehive of activity. Dozens of independent operations can happen concurrently, each involving multiple activities and serviced by numerous physical assets such as pumps, valves, and pipe headers. These hundreds of assets may be shared between potential operations, and attention must be paid lest one operation interfere with another. Careful scheduling is needed to avoid costly delays or even costlier product contamination.

TerminalScheduler is a full-featured software system for planning and scheduling operations within a tank farm or terminal. It organizes and consolidates all of the information needed to perform both long term and short term scheduling. Nominations and monthly plan volumes are processed into schedules and progress against the plan tracked on a daily basis. Tank volumes and qualities are predicted and tracked, including considerations for blended qualities as differing volumes are mixed in-line or in the tanks. Tools are provided to facilitate routing selection and coordination of terminal assets. Linefi ll volumes are managed and basic work order requirements can be produced.

Features

TerminalScheduler

n Track Shipper ProgressPlans made based on the original monthly volume is tracked against the current measured volumes, allowing easy determination of whether a shipper is on target to meet the schedule.

n Manage TanksVolumes in and out of the tanks and tank pools are made and the volume and quality in the tanks are predicted and then tracked over the month. Inside of tank pools default switching algorithms are available to suggest operational plans as the member tanks fi ll or empty.

n Flow Routes & Employed AssetsFlow is routed through the terminal, passing through the several assets. These routes may be stored for later use or new routes can be created ad hoc as needs demand. Asset confl ict is prevented and warnings and alerts protect against product contamination.

n Complex Cycle PlanningAs the several tanks in the terminal fi ll and empty at unequal rates, predicting when movements must be made can be complex. Algorithms are available that can produce shipping plans that maintain the volume health in the tank collective.

n Generate Pumping & Work OrdersThe schedule produces pumping orders indicating the relevant information provided by the scheduler and produced by the scheduling simulator. Manipulation of each asset, as predicted by the schedule, produces work order data which is reported and suitable for insertion into a formal work order tracking system.

n Boutique Product or Crude BlendsWith a collection of tanks holding volumes of different quality, the system uses an embedded optimization capability to produce blending orders that will produce the desired target quality at the lowest price.
