Oil Movements and Blending Management for Global Refineries
At the heart of Visa-OM is the object-oriented plant model. This
enables users to build and modify the informational relationships
that exist between the raw data (both real-time and historic)
associated with the tanks, lines, pumps, valves and process units
around the refinery. The plant model interfaces with the plant
DCS, PIMS, LIMS, PLC, ERP and MRP systems, and incorporates
key characteristics and relationships. Included in the model is
every relevant tank farm configuration, data connection and
calculation, material or technical characteristic, local or plant
wide report, monitor and alarm, tank and pipeline manager,
system balance and stock reconciliation. To prevent unnecessary
complexity the model only incorporates details of the refinery to
the level that is required for supervising movements and
unnecessary data is not included.
