Urucu-Manaus Gas Pipeline

A project at the heart of the Amazon rainforest

Altus was entrusted with the development and implementation of the automation, instrumentation, electrical, telecommunications, and logistics systems for Petrobras’ gas pipeline in Manaus, Brazil. Spanning 662 km, the pipeline can transport up to 10 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. This project represents a significant environmental milestone for Brazil, as generating energy from natural gas helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that would otherwise result from burning diesel.

Clean Energy and Operational Safety

Altus’ team of experts developed and delivered the SCADA system, integrating it with 24 control stations along the pipeline. Each station is equipped with high-performance, high-availability programmable controllers from Altus. To further enhance control and communication, all PLCs are interconnected via fiber optics, communicating with Transpetro’s Central Operations Control via satellite.

Remote Supervision

Real-time data collection and diagnostics from a distance

Enhanced Productivity

Boosted effectiveness of the field maintenance team

Energy Efficiency

Lower logistical costs for addressing station failures

Availability

Reduced downtime through faster identification of system fault

Equipamentos e serviços inclusos no projeto

Equipment and Services Provided

The solution delivered by Altus includes the following equipment and services:

- A complete Supervision and Control System installed in the maintenance room
- Specification and configuration of communication interfaces
- Integration with field instruments and PROFIBUS network setup for each control station
- Start-up assistance and operational support
- Training in system maintenance and operation

Sistema supervisão para controle remoto da operação

Remote Monitoring for Operational Control

The Supervision and Control System runs on a dedicated server with Elipse E3 Supervision Software in stand-alone mode. Known as the EGDA (Asset Management Station), the server also hosts a Microsoft SQL database.

This system allows for comprehensive diagnostics of each station, covering all Altus hardware. It also monitors key alarms and faults, ensuring the smooth operation of programmable controllers and field communication systems.

Gestão de ativos para monitoração de instrumentos de campo

Asset Management for Field Instrument Monitoring

The asset management system is housed on the same machine as the supervision system. After configuring the PROFIBUS networks and implementing the control architecture at each station, the system can monitor HART instrumentation installed along the pipeline. With this setup in place, the asset management station now provides:

- Valve position graphs
- Instrument status updates
- Calibration checks and calibrated ranges for instruments
- Ranges calibrados nos instrumentos
- Performance metrics
- Valve signature tracking and real-time readings values
