In a world of finite natural resources and exponentially increasing energy demands, gas pipeline companies are facing increasing obligations to optimize the operation and management of their gas pipeline and gas storage systems while complying with safety and environmental regulations. Meanwhile, these systems continue to grow significantly in both scale and complexity.
In spite of increasingly stringent demands being placed on the operation of gas transportation pipelines and storage, traditional industry automation products remain predominantly based upon inflexible and low-performance platforms, often utilizing technology originally designed for DCS and low-tier control systems.
To meet the challenges facing gas pipeline operators and gas storage operators today, OSI has developed the Continua™ Gas Solutions (CGS) offering: a comprehensive suite of monitoring, control, and management software applications specifically intended for the supervisory control and analysis of the operations and performance of modern gas gathering, transmission, and distribution pipelines and storage facilities.
Continua™ Gas Solutions (CGS) provides an unprecedented number of applications for the gas industry, both from an offline and operational point of view.
At the same time, Continua™ Gas Solutions (CGS) provides several applications for both safety and reliability that does not require a model. The uniqueness of Continua™ Gas Solutions (CGS) is due to its simplicity and modular design, which make it user friendly, scalable, easy to maintain, and safe.
Continua™ Gas Solutions (CGS) supports a full suite of monitoring, control, and gas pipeline and storage management applications. These feature operational and offline functionalities that include, but are not limited to, the following:
