The addition of intelligent systems makes smart skid-mounted fuel station safer and more efficient

With the promotion of intelligent systems in the whole society, intelligent system software has gradually penetrated into skid-mounted fuel station equipment, which has added an intelligent barrier to the safety warning of skid-mounted fuel stations, which originally had very high safety requirements. In addition, intelligent software effectively saves labor, reduces the cost of skid-mounted fuel station operation and improves production efficiency. Let's take a closer look at the specific performance of the addition of intelligent systems to make skid-mounted fuel stations safer and more efficient.

1. Basic concept

Skid-mounted design: adopts a modular structure to integrate oil storage tanks, gas dispensers, control systems, etc. on a movable skid body, without the need for traditional civil engineering, and flexible installation.

Intelligent management: remote monitoring, automatic alarm, data analysis and unattended functions are realized through technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and AI.

2. Main configuration

2.1. System software includes remote control terminal equipment:

Equipped with safety protection electronic devices such as tank working pressure and combustible gas concentration alarm and duty system software, it is convenient for remote control and detection of staff at night. The electronic devices, instrument pointers, and data information of the dashboard of the control box show that the accurate system software operation page is simple and novel, and the industrial touch screen is friendly. High-aspect ratio integrated design scheme. The design concept of the convenient transportation and transshipment of the marine container skid-mounted oil supply equipment is high-aspect ratio integration. Storage, handling, transmission and filling process technology, distribution room, motor radio and automatic control system software should be packaged on one or more skids. It is convenient for the relocation, lifting and transportation of all equipment, and convenient for on-site installation and operation. Its functions include daily maintenance, correct guidance maintenance and remote control maintenance. It can receive various data information of on-site operation, grasp the operating status of mechanical equipment at any time, especially when abnormal alarms of mechanical equipment are found, rush to the scene to solve emergencies as soon as possible.

2.2. Highly intelligent control box:

The secondary digital display instrument on the control box adopts 1:1 analog pointer and digital instrument. The appearance is the same as the traditional instrument panel, which solves the problem of how far the ultra-low temperature liquid and branch gas pipelines are transmitted to the automatic mechanical instrument and the prohibition of indicating data information. "The dashboard control panel has three traditional design styles, "elegant" and "modern" can be freely changed, which conforms to the regulations of traditional observation mode and the humanized design scheme of actual operators.

2.3. Complete software system:

The system software can complete the full range of safety detection and operation of key mechanical equipment in the overall operation state and non-operation period of the equipment, and automatically identify and record the operation state, historical time alarm, main parameters and other key data information of mechanical equipment. When the machine and equipment exceed all normal allowable working conditions, the sound and light alarm and voice broadcast are fully automatic. The system software has remote control, detection and operation functions, which can complete the safety responsibilities of electronic equipment all day long-Before the skid-mounted refueling device seriously endangers the normal operation of mechanical equipment and damages the mechanical equipment, the system software can stop under safe conditions and the valve can be opened (tank overpressure release valve) by interlocking the fully automatic shutdown (pump) and valve closure (tank inlet and outlet valve) positions.

2.4. Emergency fault handling system:

When common faults occur, the actual on-site operators can be guided to troubleshoot and maintain common faults through remote control of the access network to reduce property losses caused by common fault shutdowns. It can store and automatically update new common fault records and troubleshooting methods to prevent accidents. Once a common fault occurs, it can be repaired immediately.

3. Core features

3.1 High safety:

Equipped with double explosion-proof, automatic fire extinguishing system, leak detection and emergency shut-off device.

The storage tank is made of barrier explosion-proof material, which will not explode even if it is hit or exposed to open flames.

3.2 Environmental compliance:

Fully enclosed design to prevent oil and gas volatilization (in compliance with VOCs emission standards).

Can integrate oil and gas recovery system and anti-leakage detection.

3.3 Flexible deployment:

Suitable for temporary construction sites, logistics parks, remote areas or emergency oil supply scenarios.

Can be quickly disassembled and relocated for reuse.

3.4 Intelligent functions:

Support license plate recognition, face payment, mobile payment (WeChat/Alipay).

Remotely monitor oil volume, transaction records, equipment status, etc. to reduce labor costs.

4. Application scenarios

Enterprise self-use: such as logistics fleets, mining machinery, agricultural oil, etc.

Emergency guarantee: temporary oil supply during natural disasters or emergencies.

Urban blind spot filling: supplement of areas where gas stations are insufficiently covered.

New energy expansion: can be adapted to charging piles or hydrogen fuel modules and upgraded to comprehensive energy stations.

5. Policy and Compliance

Must comply with the "Design and Construction Specifications for Skid-Mounted Fueling Devices" (GB/T 37327-2019) and local safety supervision and fire protection requirements.

Some regions have simplified the approval process (such as free trade zones and bonded areas), but they must be filed in advance.

6. Advantages vs. traditional gas stations

Comparison items	Smart skid-mounted stations	Traditional gas stations
Construction period	1-2 weeks (quick commissioning)	6-12 months (civil construction approval required)
Cost	Low investment (about 1/3 of traditional stations)	High land and construction costs
Mobility	Can be relocated as a whole	Fixed and immovable
Environmental risks	Extremely low risk of leakage	Potential pollution risk of underground storage tanks

7. Development trends

Digital upgrade: Combine 5G and AI to optimize inventory management and user services.

Multi-energy integration: integrated charging, battery replacement, hydrogen energy and other modules.

Sharing mode: provide on-demand leasing services for small and medium-sized fleets.

8. Notes

Site selection requirements: need to be away from sensitive areas such as residential areas and high-voltage lines.

Regular maintenance: intelligent systems need to be updated regularly, and explosion-proof equipment needs annual inspection.

Qualification approval: despite the simplified process, it is still necessary to obtain documents such as the "Dangerous Chemicals Business License".

The above description has described the specific role of intelligent systems in skid-mounted fuel stations from the aspects of safety assurance, intelligent operation, fault repair and control detection. We believe that in the near future, as intelligence becomes more advanced, there will be more intelligent systems applied in skid-mounted fuel station.
