Description
Description
A monitoring and management system for a gas storage tank
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a simulation and history management system for a gasholder, adapted to a sewage treatment plant, which includes a sensor system on the spot, a simulation management system operated according to the sensor system, and a history management system of the parts of the gasholder. Background Art
[2] Generally known in the art, since in the prior art, the management of a gasholder was carried out by simply displaying installation records and pressures using an instrument board on the spot, or perfunctorily managing a level meter (pressure gauge) having remote access to a control room, it could not perceive whether or not an accident occurred in the gasholder. Further, if any, only an expert could check what problem did occur in the gasholder, which was very inconvenient to a user or an operator.
[3] Further, although the gasholder looks simple on the outside, no one can know whether its internal structure is complex or not, so that there is often the case that an operator treats its management badly.
[4] Furthermore, if it is not managed when the parts of the gasholder should be replaced, the gasholder, that is one of the important components of the sewage treatment plant, that has been costly designed, may come to be inactivated. In such an inactivated state, methane gas for warming up primary sludge is not generated, so that the primary sludge should be dumped as it stands, or otherwise, it should be warmed up using expensive light-oil instead of the methane gas, which case makes the process expensive. Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem
[5] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a visual simulation management system associated with a sensor system and a history management system by which a manager can completely understand a structure of a gasholder so as to previously prevent dangerous situations of the gasholder and smoothly operate it through a rapid settlement of a problem and a stable management of the parts thereof. Technical Solution
[6] In order to accomplish the above object, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a simulation and history management system for a gasholder comprising: an in situ sensor system having a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a level meter, and a gas leakage sensor attached to a gasholder to detect the state of the gasholder to determine and deal with the situation of the gasholder; a remote simulation system capable of visually dealing with and managing the gasholder in a remote control based on data received from the pressure sensor, the level meter, the temperature sensor, and the gas leakage sensor; and a history management system for the parts of gasholder associated with the simulation system to manage the history of the parts of the gasholder, adapting colors and facility features thereto. Brief Description of the Drawings
[7] The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[8] FIG. 1 is a basic diagram of a simulation and history management system for a gasholder;
[9] FIG. 2 is a constructional diagram of a simulation system of the gasholder; and
[10] FIG. 3 is a constructional diagram of a history management system of the gasholder. Mode for the Invention

[23] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the pressure change and the gas leakage are sensed by the sensor system, so that a manager can easily check the failure of the gasholder and firstly cut off a gas input valve. In addition, the remote-monitoring system can rapidly deal with the accidents to prevent the accidents in massive scale from occurring in the gasholder. Furthermore, a remote-monitoring screen also shows the operation of piston, which cannot be seen from the outside, and upon failure, allows an operator to conveniently visually assume which portion is out of order in association with the tables.

The remote-monitoring system 1500 receives data of the respective sensors from the communication control unit 1100 of the sensor system so as to monitor the state of the gasholder in a remote control. The remote-monitoring system comprises a computer equipped with Intel Pentium III or above including a CPU 1200, a main memory unit 1300, an auxiliary memory unit 1600 mainly composed of an HDD, a display unit 1400, a graphic board 2000, and a communication control unit 1900.

For example, as the gas pressure rises, the gas pressure sensor (or level meter) detects it and the upward operation (from 2100 to 2200) of piston is practically displayed in a visual manner via a graphic user interface (GUI) mode. Upon accident occurrence shown in Tables 1 and 2, the simulation system displays the problematic portions of the gasholder with a colorized indication and the GUI mode through the database structure realized in the auxiliary memory unit 1600. The history management system 1800 includes a processing unit for performing the

In particular, the parts-history simulation section 1810 includes means for transmitting the used period state of the major parts to the graphic simulation section 1710 of the simulation system 1700, evaluating the sensor values and the affection to the lifetime of the connected parts according to the environmental effect of the gasholder, and informing of the state of the parts for replacement, checking, and maintenance through an information window. The parts-history management section 1820 has characteristic processing means for informing of type, installation date, checking and maintenance period, prices, and the order of the parts, a request for
maintenance, and date and method for checking the gasholder by a customer.

[39] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims. Industrial Applicability
[40] As set forth before, according to the simulation and history management system for the gasholder of the present invention, the operation of the gasholder is visually displayed, and the failure symptoms of the gasholder is directly checked in a remote control by a manager as well, thereby previously preventing the accident in a great scale with low costs. Further, the checking of the gasholder is carried out in time more securely by the parts-history management system employing the visual simulation therein, thereby maintaining the gasholder always activated.
