Development of design documentation
Our project documentation provides the Customer with answers to key questions:
- What equipment will be supplied;
- What kind of work will be carried out;
- Estimated cost of the project.
When designing, special requirements are necessarily taken into account, such as explosion and fire hazards, environmental protection, and operational safety.
All projects comply with state, regional, and industry standards, as well as internal standards of the enterprise.
For the development of project documentation, we use the following formats: AutoCAD, Kompas 3D, EPlan Electric P8, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Visio.

Software development
Our principle in software development is open-source code. We transfer to the Customer all projects and program codes with their description. If necessary, password protection is set for reading and changing the program. We provide software development services for automated process control systems of the following types: PLC / HMI / SCADA / Cloud applications.
PLC
This type of software is created in a development environment for a particular type of PLC according to the European standard EN 61131. Depending on the automation platform, various development environments are used, such as Simatic Step7, TIA Portal, Unity Pro, CoDeSys, Cimplicity Machine Edition, CScape, etc.
The PLC software performs the following functions:
- Interrogation of digital and analog inputs at the local PLC rack, expansion rack, and remote stations;
- Primary conversion of input signals (debounce elimination and validation, analog signal conversion, evaluation of warning and alarm limits;
- Execution of fast subroutines in accordance with the algorithms of emergency protection;
- Verification of interlocks;
- Execution of basic control algorithms, including PID controllers;
- Providing information to the upper level, and receiving commands from the upper level;
- Issuance of control signals to discrete and analog outputs of local PLC racks, expansion racks, and remote I/O stations.
- Communication exchange via digital interfaces ProfibusDP, ModbusRTU, ModbusTCP, etc.
We own the necessary licenses for software tools, so the cost of development includes only the labor intensity and the author's work on the development of the application software. However, on the customer’s request, instrumental software with all necessary licenses can be supplied, allowing the Customer to make changes in the application program independently.
SCADA
SCADA system software is developed using the SCADA package from one of the well-known manufacturers. Depending on the automation platform, different packages are used, such as InTouch, WinCC, Cimplicity Plant Edition, and Vijeo Citect. It is possible to mix PLC and SCADA from different manufacturers by using industry-standard data transfer protocols.
The SCADA system software performs the following functions:
- Provides the operator with an interface for working with the automated process control system (APCS) in the form of technological mnemonic diagrams, control panels, and information windows;
- Information is provided in visual-graphical, numerical, tabular, and chart form;
- Information exchange with PLC;
- Archiving information and event logs, and viewing archives;
- Generation of reporting forms and documentation;
- User rights management.
SCADA system software operates under the Windows operating system with a runtime license. The license is purchased separately for each SCADA-system workstation. The cost of a license depends on the number of points (tags, input/output channels) in the system, the need to purchase specific drivers, the need for additional services, such as full-function archiving, the provision of a WEB interface, etc.
HMI
Operator panel software is designed to provide a human-machine interface on industrial LCD panels embedded in operator stations. Depending on the type of operator panel, various software products for software development are used, such as TiaPortal, WinCC Flexible, Vijeo Designer, etc.
The runtime license and operating system are included in the cost of the operator panel itself, and some development packages are free or shareware. Often, the software includes such services as a WEB interface, the major industrial protocols for digital interfaces, an OPC server, and others.
Operator panel software functions are similar to those of SCADA systems, with the difference that they provide more simplified capabilities and, as a rule, archiving and reporting are not used on panels.
Cloud Applications
ASA develops, by order of the client, applications for remote access to its APCS from devices via the WEB interface, as well as Android and iOS applications. For this purpose, standard cloud technologies are used, which PLC, HMI, and SCADA manufacturers integrate into their products. Thus, our client receives a remote access application to the APCS without the need to purchase a remote access license, only the development of the application for a particular APCS is paid.
All software for the designed APCS is tested using mathematical modeling tools on a test bench, which presents several types of PLCs and operator panels. This testing allows us to eliminate all errors and adjust the operation of the system even before the software is installed on the Customer's equipment.
CONSTRUCTION AND ASSEMBLY WORK
Construction and assembly work (CAW) is an integral part of the implementation of the APCS and includes the following works at the Customer’s site…
Construction and installation work
Construction and assembly work (CAW) is an integral part of the implementation of the APCS and includes the following works at the Customer's site:
- installation of cable structures;
- installation of cabinets, racks, and panels;
- installation of devices on technological equipment, and pipelines;
- connection of impulse lines to devices;
- laying and connecting cables, testing;

Commissioning works
Commissioning work (CW) is a very important stage of the APCS implementation. Since we often have to work with unique (innovative) projects, it is during the commissioning stage the APCS is configured according to the needs of the Customer. The commissioning work includes the following activities:
- Voltage supply to the APCS equipment;
- Cranking mechanisms in local mode;
- Testing docking protocols with third-party equipment via digital communication channels;
- Cross-checking the passage of all signals;
- Cranking of mechanisms in manual remote mode;
- Testing the control program and algorithms;
- Carrying out tests;
- Personnel training;
- Operational documentation.
PLCs pass a series of tests for compliance with international standards: IEC 60947-1:2017; IEC 55022:2017; IEC 55024:2017; IEC 61000-6-2:2015; IEC 61000-6-4:2016.
All APCS equipment is preliminarily tested on a test bench in our company's laboratory. This testing allows to reduce the time of commissioning work at the Customer's site and thus reduces the downtime of the equipment.

TCH-technology
Cavitation treatment of crude oil
TCH-technology
Our company is a strategic partner in the development and implementation of equipment designed for cavitation treatment of heavy oil (TCH- technology). This technology is created to modify the characteristics of crude oil in order to transfer it from an extra-heavy/heavy class to a heavy/medium class, by reducing its viscosity and density, for its further use and transportation.
The economic effect is achieved through:
- increasing the total amount of marketable oil;
- reducing the cost of its transportation;
- increasing the yield of light oil products.
Technology Benefits
- Reducing the density and viscosity of extra-heavy/heavy crude oil without the use of diluents such as naphtha;
- Low raw-materials transportation cost compared to dilution with naphtha;
- Production increase in oil volume from 6% to 10% (due to a decrease in oil density);
- Increasing the yield of light fractions;
- Increased production in modular form.
This technology has been successfully implemented at several large oil-producing enterprises in Colombia (South America). We are ready to provide more detailed information about the advantages of this technology and will be glad to cooperate with you in a mutually beneficial way. For more information, please contact us.
