The scope covers tank-monitoring integration with the installed facility, wiring and communication checks, loop checks, I/O tests and functional testing. Work coordination and configuration records support commissioning and subsequent maintenance.
Overview
The Cikampek Tank Monitoring System (TMS) project improves the reliability and safety of monitoring storage tanks at the fuel terminal, using a monitoring system built on instrumentation and automation. The system monitors level, pressure, temperature, and tank operating status in real time. This supports terminal operations that are safer, more efficient, and more reliable.
Challenges
Integrating the new monitoring system with facilities and control systems that are already in operation.
Working in the terminal area under high safety standards and with limited workspace.
Keeping the terminal running during installation and commissioning.
Solutions
Preparing a phased implementation plan to minimize the impact on terminal operations.
Carrying out installation inspection, wiring verification, and communication testing before the system was integrated.
Running loop checks, I/O tests, and functional tests to verify all analog and digital signals, alarms, and interlocks.
Applying HSSE procedures consistently through Permit to Work (PTW), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), toolbox meetings, use of PPE, and supervision of work in the terminal area.
Lessons learned
Effective coordination between the engineering team, operations, and the vendor sped up implementation and the resolution of problems.
Verifying the installation and configuration before commissioning significantly reduced troubleshooting time.
Documentation of the system configuration, test results, and as-built drawings is essential to support future operation and maintenance.
Thorough testing of all monitoring, alarm, and communication functions improves system reliability once the system is in operation.
Compliance with HSSE standards during the project was the main factor in protecting personnel and assets and keeping the terminal running smoothly.
