According to the characteristics of dense pipelines, complex laying and strong technologies in product oil tank farm, the safety monitoring and controlling system for pipelines in oil depot is established based on GIS technology. In order to improve the safety performance of oil depot, the system puts emphases on the monitoring the flow, pressure and temperature of all the pipelines. Specially, the advanced seal equipments of storage, oil receiving and delivery are designed in the oil depot. Each tank is connected with nitrogen generator, oil vapor recovery unit and loading area by the pipelines. The system can real-time control the oil gas concentration and pressure of the oil gas space in the tank by regulating flow of the nitrogen. Then oil product loss can be reduced. What is more important, the system can put an end to the fire and explosion accidents and finally the oil depot will come up to the HSE standard.
