Abstract: In the past few years, Digital Plant Architectures have proven their value by providing improved plant operations by increasing throughput, availability and reducing maintenance costs in process plant installations worldwide. On the whole, industries such as the Oil and Gas, Water, and Wastewater industry has not benefited from these advancements, due largely to the logistical challenges posed in implementing the architecture over large and remote geographical areas. Among these challenges are utility availability, communications infrastructures, and availability of local expertise leading to prohibitive costs. Utilizing electronic measurement techniques to collect data at each remote site is important for accurately reporting the remote process in real-time. And, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software allows high visibility for managing and optimizing these remote processes. This real-time visibility would be almost impossible to achieve with paper charts and pneumatic instrumentation alone. Advancements in technology now make it possible to integrate remote sites into a Digital Field Architecture, or virtual plant, occupying hundreds or thousands of square miles.
