The paper presents a technological solution to improve a process in the maritime oil terminal, Pozos Colorados. The objective of the solution is the filter cleaning automation of discharge system an oil tanker ship. The purpose of the solution is to improve the conditions of industrial safety and occupational health of workers who perform this function manually, and optimize the process of receiving hydrocarbons by improving operating times. The methodology is basic and detailed engineering, applied to automation engineering, this contemplating the narrative: process, design and evaluation is used to prepare the proposal. The proposal delivers the design of: the hydraulic system, the electrical system and the control system. The solution includes: capturing water from the storage pool and by means of a controlled pressure electric pump, transporting the fluid to the filtering area; and the filters are cleaned using a sprinkler branch located inside the basket. The washing process is manipulated by means of solenoid valves and a variable speed drive, these are governed by a programmable logic controller, this PLC receives information on the variables involved by means of sensors. The modeling, simulation and evaluations of the proposal support the possibility of implementing automation by making some adjustments to the existing infrastructure and adding electrical, mechanical and electronic elements
