Study, Design, and Development of an Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) for an Oil Processing Unit with AI-Based Predictive Maintenance

Department

Automation department — PFE 2026–2027

Project

Architect an Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) for an oil processing site, covering safety interlocking, automation cabinets and supervisory HMIs.

Main topics

• Compare automation architectures and industrial communication protocols such as OPC and Modbus.
• Analyze engineering design input packages and Cause & Effect matrices.
• Develop the general system architecture and industrial network design.
• Design control system cabinets and wiring diagrams.
• Develop and implement process control and interlocking logic.
• Create SCADA/HMI graphics and synoptics.
• Integrate an AI-based model into the SCADA system to analyze real-time telemetry data, detect anomalies and identify abnormal operating patterns.
