Abstract
The growing demand of petroleum product has brought a significant increase in risk to human and its environment. Temperature controller of a petroleum product storage tank are specifically designed for the purpose of controlling the enormous temperature characteristics of the petroleum product during weather variations in critical industries such as the oil and gas, process, and other related smaller industries. In this work, a temperature controller and a cooling system for the petroleum product storage tank was designed using proportional derivative, proportional integral and proportional integral derivative controllers to obtain the response of the product temperature on the atmospheric variations. The simulation results were carried out on uncontrolled temperature deviation from set point, controlled temperature error deviation, pressure effect on temperature error deviation, gasoline, kerosene, diesel temperature error deviation using the proportional derivative, proportional integral and proportional integral derivative controller to ensure excellent control measure in the stability of the temperature characteristics of the storage tank. The temperature stability with the Proportional Integral Derivative controller provides an insight into the control performance of the Proportional Integral Derivative controller, whose essence is to ensure that error correction takes place without time delay.
