Remote Monitoring of Gas Pipelines
Business Challenge
As living conditions improve, Natural Gas has gradually supplanted Coal Gas on a global scale. In response, Gas Companies face the critical task of efficiently delivering this clean and pure Natural Gas to every household. However, one of the most significant challenges lies in safeguarding the entire infrastructure and preventing theft or tampering with the pipelines.
Technical Requirements:
- The system must efficiently collect and transfer data from pipeline flow controllers to a centralized SCADA center using a 4G LTE network.
- Various router interfaces, including RS232 and Ethernet RJ45, are imperative to ensure seamless connectivity with different types of pipeline controllers.
- Routers should exhibit a rugged, industrial design, capable of withstanding hot and humid environmental conditions.
- A 4G LTE network is vital to eliminate delays in data transmission.
- The system must establish an IPSec tunnel to ensure the security and encryption of all transmitted data.
Solution
Orxcel’s O20 Cellular Router , equipped with RS 232 or RS 485 port, in addition to 2 Ethernet Ports, establishes connections with a variety of pipeline controllers. This data is then efficiently transmitted to the SCADA center through a robust 4G LTE network. The system ensures the encryption of all data, effectively warding off any potential security threats or hacking attempts. Our O20 remote monitoring system introduces a remarkable innovation in pipeline applications, significantly reducing the need for on-site personnel to collect data, thereby advancing the efficiency and reliability of the entire pipeline network.
