In a world of finite natural resources and exponentially increasing energy demands, pipeline companies are facing increasing obligations to optimize the operation and management of their pipeline and storage systems, and comply with safety and environmental regulations, all while these systems continue to grow significantly in both scale and complexity.
Despite increasingly stringent demands and challenges being placed on the operation of liquid transportation pipelines and storage, traditional industry automation products are 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 liquid pipeline operators and liquid storage operators today, OSI has developed the Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) 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 liquid gathering and transmission pipelines, and storage facilities.
Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) provides an unprecedented number of applications for the liquid industry, both from an offline and operational point of view. At the same time, Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) provides several applications for both safety and reliability that does not require a model. Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) uniqueness is due to its simplicity and modular design, which make it user friendly, scalable, easy to maintain, and safe.
Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) supports a full suite of liquid monitoring, control and management of liquid pipeline and liquid storage applications, covering both operational and offline functionalities, including, but not limited to:
Business related applications Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) is built atop OSI's industry-leading monarch™ operational technology (OT) platform. Originally designed for critical electrical network operations with highly rigid performance, capacity, throughput, and cyber-security requirements, monarch serves as an ideal platform for both small- and large-scale liquid pipeline and processing automation projects.
Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) is a flexible, expandable, and adaptable monitoring, control and management of liquid pipelines and storage software offering, specifically intended for both large and small crude and refined products pipeline systems.
Utilizing a growing selection of open interfaces, Continua™ Liquid Solutions (CLS) is capable of seamlessly communicating with many third-party products, including remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and various 3rd party pipeline software products.
