Description

The processes simulation stand automation system is intended to optimize of the experimentation in the automatic mode to study production and injection wells, as well as to reduce the labor intensity of experiments (implementation of the concept “One stand - one person“) and increase the accuracy of the plant operating parameters.

The automation system is designed on the basis of the control equipment of National Instruments. 

Also specifically for the automation system the NTCB-01 connector block was developed which provides communication between the data acquisition boards and external devices.

The plant specialized software is developed in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment.

System Features

• Registration of acoustic signals which arise out during fluid movement through a porous medium and their recording in an audio file of the .wav format (with reference to the position of hydrophones within the experimental pipe of the stand)
• Setting the movement intervals of hydrophones within the experimental pipe and their station time 
• Setting and maintenance of various pressure/flow modes
• Setting and maintenance of fluid injection modes
• Data acquisition from sensors and generation of control signals to the plant actuating mechanisms according to the given algorithm
• Automatic pressure release and activation of the alarm in the event of abnormal situations on the stand
