Boosting efficiency with X2 extreme HMI

In the demanding environment of the oil and gas industry, efficient and safe sand management is crucial. Our X2 extreme HMI has proven to be a game-changer, offering a robust solution that enhances operational efficiency and safety. This case study explores how our technology was instrumental in overcoming significant challenges faced by our end customer.

The challenge

In the oil and gas industry, managing sand removal from flowback systems is a critical yet challenging task. Traditionally, this process is labor-intensive, dangerous, and inefficient. Personnel must frequently engage with equipment, manually operating valves to dump sand, monitor for leaks, and manage erosional damage. This manual process not only exposes workers to hazardous conditions but also decreases overall operational efficiency.

The solution

To address these challenges, EnerCorp and MAC Automation designed an innovative SCADA system powered by Ignition SCADA. This system provides autonomous control of flowback and sand management, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention. The solution integrates advanced automation technologies, including the rugged X2 extreme HMI from Beijer Electronics, to enhance site efficiency and safety.
