Certification Definition - Class I, Division 1 & 2
Hazardous locations are areas where potential hazards (e.g., fires, explosions, etc.) may exist
under normal orabnormal conditions because of the presence of flammable gases or vapors,
flammable liquids, combustible dustsor ignitable fibers. According to the NEC (National
Electrical Code), there are three types of hazardous locationscategorized by Class I (gases,
vapors, and liquids), Class II (dusts), and Class III (fibers and flyings). Division 1 meansnormally
explosive and hazardous and Division 2 means not normally present in an explosive
concentration but mayaccidentally exist.
Class I is directly related to the oil and gas market applications, such as petroleum refineries,
gasoline storage,dispensing areas and utility gas plants. According to the ignition temperature
of the substance, its explosionpressure, and other flammable characteristics, the gases and
vapors of Class I locations are broken into four groupsby the Codes: A, B, C, and D.
Temperature classes also exist to designate the permissible surface temperature ofelectrical
equipment which allows them to operate normally in the surrounding atmosphere.

Oil Field Drilling Monitoring System
An oil field is a region with an abundance of oil wells extracting petroleum frombelow ground.
Because the oil reservoirs typically extend over a large area,possibly several hundred
kilometers across, full exploitation entails multiple wellsscattered across the area. In addition,
there may be exploratory wells probing theedges, pipelines to transport the oil elsewhere, and
support facilities. Because anoil field may be remote from civilization, establishing a field is often
an extremelycomplicated exercise in logistics.
System Description
Oil well management is a complicated
process, but Advantech?s Internetof-
Things system for oil and gas
production produces good effects.
OnsiteRTU module (ADAM-4501),

Pump Station Monitoring System
The oil & gas industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction,refining,
transporting, and marketing petroleum products, such as oil, which istransported through large
pipes that can stretch across continents. The oil iskept in motion by pump stations along the
pipeline, and usually flows at speed ofabout 1 to 6 meters per second.

Oil Pipeline Monitoring
Oil pipelines are made from steel or plastic tubes with inner diameter typicallyfrom 4 to 48
inches. Most pipelines are buried at a typical depth of about 3 to6 feet. As crude oil contains
varying amounts of wax, buildup may occur withina pipeline. Often these pipelines are inspected
and cleaned using pipelineinspection gauges, used to detect anomalies in the pipe such as
dents, metalloss caused by corrosion, cracking or other mechanical damage.
System Description
To ensure transmission quality, there
are a lot of stations along long-
distanceoil and gas pipelines. The
control system of the pipeline needs to
performreal-time monitoring and control
of each station. To guarantee its safety
andstability, a communication system
has to be stable, reliable, safe and
rugged.With long-term cooperation with
many professional oil and gas
pipelinecompanies, Advantech?s
gateway and industrial Ethernet switch
products havebeen successfully applied
to many such systems.

Tank Storage Monitoring
This application was setup to help monitor a fueling operation. Theinformation & machine
diagnostic data will be collected and sent back tothe office and corporate headquarters. An
accurate monitoring system notonly measures fuel levels, but also temperatures and estimated
volumeinformation.
System Description
Oil terminal supervisory systems need
technology that?s reliable, easy
tomaintain, and scalable. They are not
only responsible for safe production
andtransportation, but also need to have
easy comprehensive data access.
Toacquire data separately from the tank
farm and oil distribution zone the
page 9 / 15
systemuses a unified control module to
control all the points of the oil terminal
andensure data transmission quality
and safety whilst being compatible with
othersystems such as ERP.
This case uses Advantech
APAX-5570 and APAX-5520
PAC controllers as themain
control system, coupled with
Advantech TPC-1570Htouch
panel at onsiteworking station, to
control various valves of oil
discharge zone and tank
farm,and to acquire specific
parameters of flow, temperature,
pressure, level of tankfarm, and
so on, in each region.
Oil distribution zone uses
Advantech EKI-1224serial
server to send serial dataof flow
computer to control center
through Ethernet.
The communication network of
the whole oil terminal uses
Advantech EKI-7654Cto build
industrial redundant network,
and adopts EKI-4668C layer
3switch to isolate office and
onsite control networks.
