A indústria 4.0 e a automação de protótipo de peneira vibratória

Abstract

The recovery of the drilling fluid is important in the oil well drilling operation, from an environmental and economic point of view. This fluid is a colloidal suspension classified according to its components. The physical properties of this fluid must be monitored and corrected to carry the cuttings to the surface; maintain the mechanical stability of the well; cool the drill; transmit hydraulic force to the drill; keep cuttings in suspension when not in circulation; avoid oxidation among others. Understanding the dynamic behavior of the various equipment that make up this recovery plant through phenomenological mathematical models, for the purpose of automation and control of the global process, constitutes a challenge due to the relative degree of complexity of the conservation equations and high computational cost in the simulation. The experimental investigation of the functioning of the vibrating screen assumes a predominant role in the validation of the models and in the understanding of the phenomena involved in this technological area. Therefore, the use of modern monitoring and control systems is of fundamental importance. The aspects studied in this work point out requirements of modern automation and that allows communication with other devices besides the monitoring and control instruments themselves.
