INTECH expands its project footprint in Africa by winning a terminal automation project at a petroleum terminal in Tanzania.

Backed by nearly two decades of business success across the African continent, encompassing hundreds of successful projects, INTECH has become synonymous with reliability and innovation in the region. INTECH’s excellent working relationship and business history with nearly all the major regional oil producers in the continent is testament to the trust that it enjoys from customers and end users; making it the integrator of choice for control and automation projects.

As part of its cross-industry process automation program to utilize existing infrastructure at its terminals, the client has tasked INTECH to deploy a centralized Terminal Automation System which integrates with the field devices i.e. flow meters, controllers and tank gauging instrumentation along with business and billing systems. The system will also be required to integrate with custom applications like Product Ordering systems etc. in future to track and manage reconciled product inventory, stocks of its customers and automate the dispatch process via integrating with gate access control systems etc.

INTECH will provide and integrate a fully functional terminal automation system which will host the following key features:

• Provision of a central Terminal Automation System (TAS)
• Remote Monitoring client at head office with inventory dashboards
• TAS application integration with business systems, existing standalone Batch Controllers, and Tank Gauging System
• Product inventory reconciliation & reporting of storage and dispatched volumes; product inventory accounting including losses/gains and allocation reporting
