Monitoring and Controlling the Temperature of Vertical Booster Pump Using Arduino Board

Monitoring and control play a very critical role in oil industry. Continuous measurement and control of the temperature of Vertical Booster Pumps (VBP) in crude oil depot has been a critical issue to keep away the hazards and damage. A HIMA F 6101 card is used in the current system to achieve the purpose above but this card is now absolute. This means that the manufacturer no longer produces this kind of card. Hence if the card in use is damaged the VBP will be out of service. That is why a new system is proposed in this paper as an alternative using an Arduino board. A case study has been carried out to evaluate the performance of the new system. It has been found out that this new system is good for monitoring the temperature and it acts properly when the temperature exceeds a threshold.
