CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
1.1 Product Overview
Fusion4 Multi Stream Controller - Loading (MSC-L) is a Load Computer,
Batch Controller Unit (BCU) or a Preset, which is typically installed on a
loading bay, at a terminal, in the petro chemical industry. The MSC-L is
capable of operating in an explosion hazardous area. The MSC-L is
mainly used for accurately transferring products from the storage area
into another containment vessel. It takes into account the volume
changes necessary for legal measurements. Apart, from loading a
single product, the MSC-L also provides necessary functionality for
blending products, additive injections and for loading the final products
accurately, as required in the global oil storage and distribution industry.
The MSC-L controls the following:
Loading - Transferring the base or the stock oil, or the petroleum
derivative from a storage tank to a vehicle, for example, road trucks,
rail cars, or barges.
Additive injection - Improving and differentiating the base or stock oil,
or petroleum derivatives by changing the physical properties and
specifications of the oil product (fuel) during loading/transferring.
Blending - Combining two or more fluid products to a predetermined
specification during loading.
The MSC-L utilizes Local Access Device (LAD) for interfacing, local
commissioning, configuration, calibration, troubleshooting, and data
exchange, using the Secure Digital (SD) card.
