pulse by solutions was awarded the design, engineering, supply and commissioning of 7 Electro-Hydraulic Wellhead Control Panels (WHCP) to be used for operating wells at the Meleiha gas plant.
Project scope
services
Complete system design, engineering, documentation, assembly of valves, spools, and fittings used for the installation of a hydraulic system to regulate the pressure inside the gas pipeline.
The Electro-Hydraulic Control Panel is composed of:
- Safety PLC SIL2 certified (1 MTU & 7 RTUs)
- Telecommunication equipment (GSM & Wi MAX)
- Power system (solar system with PV panels and batteries)
- Hydraulic panel (complete with control valves & its accessories)
The implementation of the project included:
- Control logic and schemes applied to the hydraulic systems to ensure timely response to alarms and smooth user operations and interface
- Installation of a solar energy system to provide the necessary power for wellhead operations in the remote location
- Connecting 7 wellheads to the central control room through wireless communication, relying primarily on WiMAX technology, and secondarily on GSM as a backup
- Factory Acceptance Test in pulse by solutions Free Zone
- Site Acceptance Test in Meleiha gas plant
- Offsite training at pulse by solutions head office
