This project addressed the issue of the pumping system reeingineering and implementation of a SCADA for the supervision and automatic control of the fire fighting system in the Petróleos Paraguayos PETROPAR industrial plant. The main objective of the project was to implement a new modern automation system commanded by a PLC with SCADA system, soft starters for the two electric pumps. The methodological approach used for the research was qualitative-quantitative or mixed, with a descriptive scope and experimental design. PETROPAR officials from the Department of Projects and Works were taken as population, as a sample 10 officials from the sector were selected. The methods used to collect data from PETROPAR's current firefighting system were through technical visits, interviews and surveys to the officials of the Department of Projects and Works, the results of which were analyzed in tables and statistical graphs. For the demonstration and elaboration of this project, the TIA PORTAL V15 software was used, likewise with this project it was not only sought to benefit in the care of operating personnel and material goods within the company, but also to protect physical and material well-being both of close people as well as of other companies located in the perimeter of the same. In the work, it was concluded that the project has feasibility through NPV and TIR calculations, and can be applied by the state entity to improve its fire prevention system.
