DanPac Measurement and Control System Upgrade
Daniel Process Acquisition Controller system known as DanPac is a smart fiscal metering solution that provides accurate measurement and unsurpassed control of oil and gas custody transfer and fiscal flow metering installations. The open-standards DanPac has built-in redundancy and comes with completely pre-configured control hardware and standardized components for faster implementation, reduced cost of ownership and increased serviceability via Daniel global life-cycle support capabilities.
The process acquisition controller system easily integrates with a broad variety of DCS hosts and SCADA systems to provide metering information. Maintaining traditional solutions requires expensive, limited expertise every time metering conditions change. DanPac delivers a level of sophistication for all Daniel measurement systems which previously could only afford to be used with a few high-return applications.
Operator and engineering training is made easy with the DanPac operator training system (OTS). There is no need for costly special hardware training systems as the OTS can fully simulate system configuration and all operator interfaces—along with workstation displays and alarms. The OTS allows operators to train in a secure off-line environment with the exact configuration as the online control system.
