Visualization of the crude oil melting process

An experiment in real condition was performed to support the development of a new designed crude oil pumping facility on the tank wagon decanting station. Since the pumping process failed during the previous tests, the visualization of the heating process inside the tank was required to find out the optimized parameters for of the improved automatic pumping algorithm. The 32 temperature sensors were installed inside the tank wagon before loading with oil, and connected to the PC based data acquisition system. The measured data collected during the whole heating/pumping process were graphically presented to visualize the time depended 3- dimensional oil temperature distribution inside the tank. Finally, the successful reconstruction of pumping facility was made based on those results.
