INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION IN FLOATING PRODUCTION VESSELS FOR DEEP WATER OIL AND GAS FIELDS

The process supervision in offshore platforms was performed in the past through the use of local pneumatic instrumentation, based on relays, semi-graphic panels and button operated control panels. Considering the advanced technology used in the new floating production projects for deep water, it became mandatory to develop supervision systems capable of integrating different control panels, increasing the level of monitorisation and reducing the number of operators and control rooms.
