Implementation of AVEVA PI System in Petroperu – Conchan Refinery

Lima, Peru

  • Company:

Petroperu - Conchan Refinery

  • Location:

Lima, Peru

Refinería Conchan implemented AVEVA PI System™ to enable the collection, historization, modeling, and visualization of its operational data, extending visibility from marine pipelines and storage through the process plant to an executive view. The solution incorporated advanced calculations in PI Analytics, automated deviation notifications, and new PI Vision displays for real-time KPI monitoring.

  • Challenges

Visualizing and Managing Data from Marine Pipelines to the Executive View

Refinería Conchan needed a comprehensive solution to collect, historize, model, and visualize its operational data, covering processes unique to a coastal refinery. Key requirements included:

  • Expanded operational visualization: representing refinery processes, including marine pipelines, storage, process plant, tanks, and an overall executive view.
  • Centralized operational data management: managing operations data and making it accessible to other areas and users beyond the control room.
  • Specialized training: building staff capability in PI System™ administration and visualization tools.
  • Solution

PI System™ Infrastructure and Data Integration

A PI System™ architecture was implemented, tailored to the operational particularities of a refinery receiving crude via marine pipelines:

  • PI System™ infrastructure: installation of PI Data Archive, PI Asset Framework (PI AF), PI Analytics, PI Event Frames, and PI Notifications.
  • Data collection interfaces: installation of 2 interfaces for operational data collection, using the OPC DA and Modbus TCP protocols.
  • Results

Measurable Operational Impact

  • Operational model developed for Refinería Conchan’s processes, with operational calculations built in PI Analytics and programmed logic to automatically send notifications for any deviation.
  • Operational visualization extended to users, beyond the traditional control room.
  • PI Vision displays developed for real-time operations monitoring, covering marine pipelines, storage, process plant, and tanks.
  • Real-time KPI visualization, available across different levels of the organization, from operational to executive.
  • Gallery
  • Key Benefits

Why It Matters

  • End-to-end visibility, covering a process uncommon at other refineries in the country: receiving crude via marine pipelines, integrated into the same monitoring system as the plant and storage areas.
  • Early detection of operational deviations, thanks to automated notifications configured in PI Notifications, reducing the risk of major incidents.
  • Information accessible beyond the control room, democratizing access to operational data across different areas and users.
  • Consolidated executive view, allowing management to monitor refinery performance without relying on manual reports.
  • Staff self-sufficiency, enabled by training in PI System™ administration and visualization.
  • Scalable foundation for future analysis, with the infrastructure and operational model ready to incorporate new calculations or indicators as the refinery’s needs evolve.
