The RTUs and sensors are strategically placed at 50 critical points along the pipeline, including locations where gas is distributed to customers and at gas booster facilities. These units are designed to automatically collect essential data, including gas pressure, flow, temperature and volumetric flow rates. This real-time data is crucial for monitoring the performance and safety of the pipeline system.
The collected data is transmitted wirelessly via GPRS technology to a redundant servers in central control room located in Bitung, Tangerang, Banten province. In the control room, the data undergoes processing and analysis to provide vital information for both commercial and technical purposes. This information supports various needs, such as displaying at SCADA work station, billing, regulatory compliance, and preventive maintenance, ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the gas distribution network.
