QGE’s control system integration scope included:
One of the largest Fuel Terminals in Australia, this terminal is used for import, storage and export of diesel and motor spirit (unleaded based) fuel and the bulk distribution of fuel via road fuel trucks. The facility includes facilities for blending butane, naphtha, toluene and the addition of customer specific fuel additives.
QGE developed the PLC program for the provided PLC hardware which consisted of Allen Bradley ControlLogix processors, remote Ethernet I/O, intrinsically safe I/O, and GuardLogix safety PLC hardware.
QGE developed the SCADA system utilising AVEVA PlantSCADA with the PlantSCADA Situational Awareness layout, AVEVA’s solution for Abnormal Situation Management (ASM). ASM is a process for improving performance, and promotes effective utilization of all available resources (i.e. hardware, software, and people) to achieve safe and efficient operations.

Our cloud software, controls and telemetry solutions, and grid export control panels are all products of our ongoing investments in new technology and engineering processes, and we continue to push the boundaries with involvement in blockchain and peer-to-peer energy trading.
At QGE we genuinely enjoy what we do, which means we're always willing to go the extra mile for our customers to deliver the right solution. We have great client relationships because people like working with us.
The QGE team understood the project's constraints and requirements, and were able to deliver a commercial solution that has allowed Agrimin to achieve a higher renewables penetration and lower energy cost than it had expected.
Over several years, QGE have provided control systems design and on site support for upgrades and expansion projects. We've been very satisfied with the quality of their solutions and the high level of support they have provided our remote mine site.
QGE have worked with us for several years on hazardous area issues and have classified a number of our facilities, including new-technology processes, where we've been very satisfied with the pragmatic approach they've taken and the outcomes for our business.
