LIRO - Magnetic levitation transport system – Marius Oprea inventor of LIRO
LIRO (Linear-Rotary) is an innovative magnetic levitation transport system invented by Marius Oprea that moves objects without physical contact between its main components. It uses permanent magnets arranged on a rotating shaft and a movable platform, kept afloat by parallel rails. Advantages include independence from external power sources, efficient and precise movement, and reduced operating and maintenance costs. LIRO is ideal for fluid extraction, elevators, and goods transport, providing an efficient and affordable solution.
FAIR - Fuel Consumption Monitoring System – Marius Oprea contribution to FAIR
FAIR: Fuel Consumption Monitoring System, developed over six years ago, integrates various technologies and expertise and implements comprehensive hardware and software monitoring. The system offers real-time data analysis, alerts, and a user-friendly dashboard available in English and Romanian. Utilizing Microsoft Azure, it ensures high-quality service. Pointlet Research specializes in advanced consultancy for major international clients, bringing vast experience to the project.
After successfully automating the HOOS units, Marius Oprea was given the opportunity to enhance and expand the FAIR project with custom-made hardware and IoT/Industry 4.0 software modules. In March 2019, he began visiting various OMV Petrom locations across Romania to study different equipment that required monitoring solutions. Depending on the specifics of each piece of equipment, Marius designed several types of custom-made computers tailored to their needs.
By April 2019, Marius had built the first pilot system for a fuel unloading station, akin to a gas station, to test its functionality under real-world conditions. This pilot system marked a significant milestone, allowing him to gather invaluable data and insights. By September 2019, he had successfully installed the monitoring system, which laid the groundwork for subsequent pilot tests on other equipment with varying functionalities.
Following the initial installation, Marius conducted further pilot tests on different types of equipment to ensure the robustness and reliability of these solutions. These pilot tests demonstrated the system's versatility and adaptability to different operational environments. The custom-made computers designed for these applications have proven to be highly reliable and have been functioning effectively up to the present day.
The equipment specifications include 4-8 GB of RAM, a quad-core processor, 4G mobile data communication, GPS, and IMU. They also feature interfaces for various industrial protocols, RFID cards, and power protection, filtration, and stabilization. Additionally, the software modules are highly flexible and adaptable, tailored to meet the specific needs of clients. This comprehensive approach has enabled Marius to deliver a robust, reliable, and scalable fuel monitoring system that addresses the unique challenges of each installation site.
HOOS - Heavy Oil Operating System – Marius Oprea contribution to HOOS
The Heavy Oil Operating System (HOOS) is a cutting-edge artificial oil lifting technology that boosts energy efficiency and reduces costs. It uses a durable textile belt to transport oil, minimizing maintenance and energy consumption. HOOS excels in handling high-viscosity and sandy oils, and includes digital monitoring for real-time data and remote operation. This system significantly lowers operating expenses and enhances production efficiency, making it ideal for challenging oil environments.
In late 2017, Marius Oprea was first introduced to the HOOS project, where he was informed about several shortcomings in the automation of the HOOS units. Early in 2018, he visited two sites where HOOS units are operating, specifically in Videle and Păcureți, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the system.
With an overview of the system and an automation manual in hand, Marius developed an advanced automation solution integrating the latest IoT/Industry 4.0 technologies. This solution offered flexible remote control, including remote software module programming, secure communication between automation and cloud, data storage both locally and in the cloud, real-time monitoring of operational parameters, and the convergence of industrial protocols with IoT.
The first automation system was installed at the Păcureți site in December 2018. Before this installation, Marius identified several issues with the automation of the winch that deploys the belt into the well. In June 2018, he installed the winch automation, which can be integrated at the communication level with the HOOS unit automation. This system included not only mechanical braking but also electromagnetic braking, allowing for smooth and precise belt deployment.
Beginning in January 2021, a six-month test was initiated for two HOOS units near Ahmedabad, India, with ONGC as the beneficiary. This test aimed to evaluate the performance and reliability of the HOOS technology in challenging environmental conditions, and it ultimately proved to be a resounding success.
During this period, Marius played a crucial role in ensuring the correct installation of the automation systems. His responsibilities included overseeing the setup process and making sure that all components were properly integrated and functioning as intended.
The harsh conditions of the test site, characterized by extreme heat and pervasive dust, posed significant challenges. However, the automation systems operated smoothly, demonstrating their robustness and resilience.
In addition to the installation and operational oversight, Marius actively contributed to various other HOOS-related activities. This included the meticulous setup of the units and precise adjustments of operational parameters to optimize performance. His efforts ensured that the systems were fine-tuned to handle the specific conditions of the test site effectively.
Communication with ONGC superiors was another key aspect of Marius's role during this test. He maintained regular contact with them, providing updates on the progress and performance of the HOOS units. This communication was essential for addressing any concerns and ensuring that the expectations of ONGC were met. Through collaborative efforts, they were able to achieve a seamless operation and validate the effectiveness of the HOOS technology in a real-world scenario.
