Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to IOT-enabled LPWAN add-on solution for operational control of centrifugal pumps in oil and gas industries.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative solution seamlessly integrates LPWAN and IoT technologies to change the operational management of centrifugal pumps within the Oil and Gas Industries. By using a sophisticated combination of sensors, touch screen displays, and wireless communication modules, this system allows authorized staff and operators to precisely manage how the pump operates. Whether on-site or from a remote location, users can effortlessly monitor and oversee the centrifugal pumps using an easy interface, supporting quick decision-making. Integrating real-time feedback sensors improves reliability by providing instantaneous information on the functioning of the system.
One of the biggest challenges in the Oil and Gas Industries' operational infrastructure is effectively managing and monitoring centrifugal pumps, which are essential components. Modern control systems often do not incorporate new technology, which makes it difficult to retrieve data in real time or perform remote control. Precise control over pump operations is a difficulty for operators and authorized people, which can lead to inefficiencies, greater downtime, and more maintenance issues.
US8801360B2: A centrifugal pump has alternating impellers and diffusers. One or more vent holes extend through one or more vanes of one or more diffusers. In an upthrust condition, high pressure production fluid from an upper impeller is able to pass through the one or more vent holes, and thereby exert force on the preceding impeller. The force exerted on the preceding impeller offsets the upthrust force acting against the preceding impeller.
RESAERCH GAP: An Operational Control through LPWAN and Cloud Technology for Centrifugal Pumps in Oil and Gas Industries is the novelty of the system.
SU920262A1: The invention relates to a pump engineering, namely to horizontal self-priming centrifugal pumps. Known horizontal self-priming centrifugal pump, containing located in the housing on a common shaft vortex stage and the impeller with a vaned diffuser at the outlet and outlet 1. The disadvantages of the known pump are the low reliability and difficulty of automating the pumping process. The purpose of the invention is to increase reliability. This goal is achieved by the fact that in the housing behind the blade diffuser there is an annular chamber in communication with it and the exit of the vortex stage, and a window in the lower part of the housing. The drawing shows a structural diagram of a horizontal self-priming centrifugal pump.
