Background
• What is the current system and
problems in the current system?
• What is the need for
implementing our project?

4
Introduction
• The glycol dehydration unit prototype is built
by the EPIC services.
• Glycol dehydration unit is the two
dimensional representation of the sample oil
platform.

5
Objective
• Display status of the equipment every second
• Record status for all equipment in the
database
• Update the status of all the equipment
• Design faceplate for equipment
• Read instructions from a file in the USB

Glycol Dehydration Unit
The main parts of
the Glycol
dehydration plant
are:
• Pumps
• Vessels & Level
transmitters
• Heaters
•Flow valve
• Heat exchangers

Database Layer
• MySQL Queries & Procedures
• Record and save status for all the
equipment.
http://dcm.uhcl.edu/caps10g8/
13
Database Access Layer
• Establish the connection with
the database
• Data access classes
• Synchronization between
incoming and outgoing
instructions.
• Integration
http://dcm.uhcl.edu/caps10g8/
14
Business Layer
• Generate and acknowledge
warnings
• Maintain business rules
• Record all the classes
http://dcm.uhcl.edu/caps10g8/
15
Control Access Layer
• Updating the status of the
physical model
• Navigate between the faceplates
• Provide security
• Monitor and control equipment
http://dcm.uhcl.edu/caps10g8/
16
Physical Layer
• Display the status of the physical
model
• Display history whenever
requested
• Display warnings and alerts as
they arise
