Consider robust tank overfill prevention and independent alarm and gauging systems
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Elimination of tank overfills is a significant problem for the petroleum industry. Since most tank receiving operations are manual, the operators rely heavily on tank level gauges and alarms for overfill prevention. Tracing the historical development of tank gauging and alarm systems provides insight into why independence is so important. This history is interwoven with interpretations, insights and guidance about applying independence in an appropriate context to overfill prevention systems. A discussion on future trends in instrumentation systems for tank overfill protection is also considered here.

Logic Solver for Tank Overfill Protection
Introduction A growing level of attention has recently been given to the automated control of potentially hazardous processes such as the overpressure or containment of dangerous substances. Several independent protection methods provide measures to reduce the risk from such hazards to personnel, the environment and assets. A significant level of this risk reduction is allocated to safety instr...
متن کاملA robust multi-objective global supplier selection model under currency fluctuation and price discount
Robust supplier selection problem, in a scenario-based approach has been proposed, when the demand and exchange rates are subject to uncertainties. First, a deterministic multi-objective mixed integer linear programming is developed; then, the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed integer linear programming is presented using the recent extension in robust optimization theory. We discuss dec...
متن کاملROBUST $H_{infty}$ CONTROL FOR T–S TIME-VARYING DELAY SYSTEMS WITH NORM BOUNDED UNCERTAINTY BASED ON LMI APPROACH
In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...
متن کاملA hybrid metaheuristic algorithm for the robust pollution-routing problem
Emissions resulted from transportation activities may lead to dangerous effects on the whole environment and human health. According to sustainability principles, in recent years researchers attempt to consider the environmental burden of logistics activities in traditional logistics problems such as vehicle routing problems (VRPs). The pollution-routing problem (PRP) is an extension of the VRP...
متن کاملRobust Wagner–Whitin algorithm with uncertain costs
In real-world applications, costs for products are not deterministic: neither static nor dynamic. They actually tend to be non-stationary and cross-correlated. To overcome this drawback, there have been some efforts by researchers to extend the Wagner–Whitin algorithm to consider stochastic costs. However, they assume that the information of probability density function of random costs exists. ...
