The Project

8Refinery - Summary

The Refinery: The most complete

refinery of PETROBRS system;

Located: Brazil

Area of 13km2;

Production of lubricant, diesel, GLP, nafta, kerosene, etc.

9Refinery Contract Resume

The Agreement: The biggest project was done using 3D Laser Scanner; A total of 500 milions points; 361 Stations, 3800 piping and 250 equipment; Complete PDMS Model and engineer as-built plants. Contract Time Frame: 13 months start: 12/12/2006. The agreement total value : U$ 900 000,00. It is considered as a reference project in Brazil.

Material and Survey Time

Materials used in the Project 02 units of 3D Laser Scanners GS200; 01 Total Station; 02 Notebooks; 10 Flat targets; 15 Reference spheres.

Site Surveying duration: 3 months.

Station number:- 361 stations.

Grid- 10 mm at 10 meters for all 360

scanning.

Total of the points collected: 500 millions.

11

Planning/Execution: The estimative was:

A total of 1,5 hours per 360 degreesstation;

The use of 7 stations per day duringthe site surveying based onphotography's,

Plants and technical visits in theproject area;

3 months with one scanner. It was spent:

1,5 hours per 360 degrees station; The production averages was only 4

stations per day due to the problemsoccurred with the batteries andequipment temperature;

It was finished in 3 months using 2equipment.

Site Surveying Description

Targets were located in order to position the cloud points in the refinery coordination system using the refinery landmarks;

361 stations were scannedto obtain cloud points inreal color.

Field Advantage Points

Field Advantage Pointsusing GS200:

The scanner weight;

The equipment does a complete 360 using a half of the time with reference to HDS3000;

The color of the cloud points helps during the object identification;

The scanner transportation is easy because of its backpack. Field Crew working in the Refinery

19

Field Work Difficulties

Battery: Weight : 14 Kg ; Autonomous : 4 h ; Transport difficult

Temperature Due to the high temperature

the equipment stopped to work several times during one day

Series GS Good conditions are essential

for the scanner work. Field vertical view is restricted

to 60Field Crew working in the Refinery

20

Cloud Points/Consolidation

Difficulty More than 500.000.000 points to

manage; RWS is able to open only 60.000

points.

Result 500.000.00 points in the same

coordinate system.

PC Configuration Pentium D 3.0 Ghz; 2.0 GB RAM memory; Graphic Card 256 Mb. Field Crew working in the Refinery

21

Cloud Points/Consolidation

This kind of project has a lot of points and being its consolidation very complex;

The control of the surveying work points is very important.

Cloud Points/Consolidation

PROCEDURE

The total area was divided up among 35 sub-areas;

3 teams working during 2 months: 30% using cloud based on

registration tool of RWS and 70% using spheres and targets

In order to put the cloud points in the real coordinate system, it was made a topographic surveying to collect flat target coordinates.

The Modeling Team

Our team is trainned according to the following stages: First Stage:

Professional with notions of the basic CAD 3Dipsos training = 2 months Piping/structure and general industrial concepts training =

2months 15 lines are produced in 3Dipsos per day.

Second Stage PDMS training = 3 months PI&D concept training = 1 month 15 lines are produced in PDMS/PDC per day.

25

3Dipsos Modeling Alowed

We made a series of modeling demos in order to genarate a PDMS model two years before closing the agreement.

After the modeling demos, our customer has approved 3Dipsos software.

Conclusion

The new 3D Laser Scanner technology allows a CAEmodel that shows the real situation in the field, offeringa lot of benefits in the industrial plant management'sday by day ;

The use of 3Dipsos/PDC software allows to reduce themodeling time that causes a direct impact in theproject cost ;

The service cost is irrelevant if compared on its cost-benefit vantages.
