GIANT
Gas integrated and automated network technology
The GIANT project developed by AUTOMA opens us an innovative solution to today’s main problems related to the functioning of gas distribution networks: environmental, operational/financial and safety.
This is possible thanks to the integration, in a single platform, of:
- Remote monitoring devices for the collection data from the field;
- Remote control devices for the execution of corrective actions;
- A centralized software for data analysis and correlation, in order to set smart system regulations.
In a nutshell, dynamic and remote regulation make GIANT an ideal system to optimize the usage of any resource, either pressure, odorant or energy. Thus, it guarantees the minimum safety and operational levels: of pressure, avoiding unnecessary overpressure conditions, of electrical energy for cathodic protection rectifiers, granting anyway effective cathodic protections, and of odorant to smell natural gas, avoiding unnecessary overdosing and increasing overall safety. Plus, continuous and accurate remote monitoring of field conditions and abnormal events allow immediate corrective actions.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Lower methane emissions, overall energy consumption
and odorant reduction

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY
Higher safety and quality standards, outages reduction,
operational cost savings
Make your gas network smart
GIANT is made up of a single platform consisting of:
- A hardware part, that is one or more connected devices installed on the field;
- A software based on the data collected by the devices on the field.
Through the GIANT project, AUTOMA aims to develop a smart innovative distribution network fully automated by means of an intelligent digital solution for gas networks, making it possible for the hardware and the software parts to communicate with each other.
