0 Introduction
The Kenya pipeline company runs a multiproduct pipeline. Maintenance of the
pipeline infrastructure in KPC is carried out by the Engineering department
which is divided into four sections namely:-
Mechanical
Electrical
Instrumentation & Communications (I&C)
Corrosion Control
The Instrumentation and Communications division was established at
establishment of KPC as a maintenance unit for pipeline measurement, control and
safety equipment. Until August 2004 the Section was known as Telg:contr-QJ and
Instrumentation (T&I). For the delivery of specific grade of petroleum product from
the source to the point of dispensing the pipeline has in place various equipment and
systems for the safe, efficient and effective operation of the pipeline aimed at
maintaining the quality of product being transported.
I&C section is responsible for maintenance and management of the following of
these systems:-
Control System
Pipeline field instrumentation
> Metering System
Tele-Communications systems
Tank Inventory System
Loading System
Terminal Automation Systems
Fire Alarm Systems
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) system
Integrated Security Surveillance (ISS) System
2.0 Objectives of the I&C Section
Carry out management of the assets listed above through routine,
breakdown maintenance and replacement of obsolete equipment by:-
Ensuring that all pipeline equipment & systems listed are functioning properly and
is available for the pipeline operations.
Ensuring availability of equipment and systems required for the safe operation of
the pipeline in order to prevent environmental disasters.
Integration between SAP and the production systems is functional for facilitation
of work processing to deliver KPC mandate of delivery of product from the port
of Mombasa to the Oil marketers.
Upgrade pipeline equipment and systems for relevancy, effectiveness and efficiency
in line with development jn technology.
Development of skilled personnel in the field of Pipeline I&C and equip them
adequately to handle the work at hand.
Involvement in Company projects in the field of I&C

3.1 mntml.-S.y.s&
The Control system comprises of various equipment for automation of the
operations of individual pump stations/terminal. The following form part of the
control system
PEC (Modicon-Schneider, Allen Bradley-Rockwel Automation)
Local I-IMI SCADA ( RS Logix, Citect)
Local station Historian
Pump Control/Monitoring Module (Bently Nevada)
Flow/Metering Computer (FMC- Micro-Flow; Summit-Khrone)
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Module v/
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) System
All Station/terminal instrumentation installedfithe field and the components of the
control system are wired to the PLC to enable automatic operation of the plant
from the local HMI SCADA. The PLC intern is connected to the Global SCADA
system in NCC for remote operation of the plant from Nairobi Control Center
(NCC) whichever is applicable.

3.2 Pipeline rostrumentation

3.3 Oeteri09 System
Flow meters are installed strategically along the pipeline to monitor quantity of product flowing
through the pipeline. The metering information generated is used for inventory and product
accounting. The metering system consists of:-
Flow Meters (PDM, Ultrasonic & Turbine)
Flow Computers
Temperature transmitters
Pressure Transmitters Flow Transmitters
Batch meters (SCADA)
The metering information is relayed back to the globalSADA

The company runs its own Optical Access Network which carries all its
communication services from NCC to all its premises from Mombasa through Nairobi
to Eldoret and Kisumu. The system carries the operational data from the plants to the
central Global SCADA at NCC, is also used for company WAN and voice
communications. The communication system consists of:-
18 node ECI; 10 Gigabit Optical access network
8 node Motorola; Nairobi— Mombasa Analogue VHF trunked Network
7node Motorola; Nbi —Eld/Ksm Digital VHF Trunked Network
Omnibus conference communication system
VHF Dispatch Consoles
VHF Mobile vehicle Radios
VHF Portable Handheld Radios (ATEX Compliant)
Assorted equipment necessary for data communication
Assorted equipment necessary for Voice communication • Mini PABX for
direct line communication between plants
Redundancy Leased data links from Orange-TKL
Public Address system
3.5 .tnvpt?tnrySystetn
The Tank inventory system is installed in the terminal sites where product is
stored in tanks. The system like its name is used to record the inventory of the
product in KPC storage facilities. The information is used by operations and
product accounting jn processing product transfer to the oil marketers. The
systems are installed at each depot and integrated with the terminal automation
system (FuelFACS), the Global SCADA and SAP ERP system at server level. The
system consists of:-
Radar Tank Gauge
Pressure Transmitters
Multi-Resistance Temperature transmitters (MRT)
Level Switches (Lo; Lo-lo; Hi; Hi-hi)
Field Communication Unit
Remote Display Unit
Tank Inventory Server
Client machine Printer

3.6 loading System

The loading system is installed in the terminal sites Where product transfer
occurs. The system is mainly used in truck loading terminals but recently has
been installed in NCC for transfer of product from KPC tanks to oil marketers'
tanks. The system works hand in hand with the Terminal Automation and the
Tank inventory (FuelFACs) systems in the delivery and processing of product
 loading to oil marketer's vessel. I&C components of the system consists of:•
Truck loading preset meter controller (AccuLoad Ill)
Digital Meter (FMC Technologies)
Digital control Valves (FMC Technologies)
Micro-switches and sensors for control of loading Arm
