Tank Terminal Automation

Global solution for tank terminal automation

Tank terminal automation contains all organizational components which occur in a tank farm. This starts with inventory accounting and the administration of the tax book and ends with the automated loading process. All technical systems which are necessary and implemented for the administration and surveillance in the tank farm can be connected to tank terminal automation and it also visualizes the loading process on screen.

Detailed visualization

An embedded visualization provides all staff members an overview of the most important plant components. The user can obtain detailed information regarding the linked-up measurement technology as well as the sequence of processes at the loading platforms. All essential functions required for the maintenance of the loading operation may be retrieved by an integrated form. The user does not have to switch between different forms.

Authorized inventory management

The inventory management fulfills all requirements for a proper accounting. It has already been audited and approved by both customs and financial authorities of several countries. An easy handling and an intensive linkage of technical installations will allow the user to avoid manual entries and therefore reduce sources of error. Corrections can be conducted very easily. The web interface allows partners and customers to retrieve and update further information.

Automatic Tank Gauging System

Fuel is one of the biggest expenditures in any operation, and it is used in almost every operation around the globe, from powering emergency generators to fueling large earth moving equipment. We have recognised the importance of fuel, and we have therefore made it our goal to offer an Automatic Tank Gauging System specially designed to measure the fuel in your fuel storage tanks. Our fuel monitoring system includes suitable level sensors, selected for each individual application. Our fuel level sensors come with IEC approval as well as Explosion proof housings to ensure longevity and low maintenance costs while installed in your fuel storage tanks.

The level sensors though, are just one piece of the puzzle, we also have a local monitor cabinet, equipped with IEC approved, SunBrite displays to ensure easy visibility and readability even in harsh sunlight. This is where most other Automatic Tank Gauging Systems would stop, but we have included one of the most useful features you could want in a Fuel Monitoring System, remote access. This remote access works using the GSM/GPRS signal at the display cabinet, and transmits the tank levels to a server where real-time data, including, usage rates, tank levels, estimated time until empty and archived history are all accessible from a secure intranet/internet connection.

Our Automatic Tank Gauging System and Fuel Monitoring Systems have already been deployed throughout various sites in Australia and we hope these sytems will only become increasingly popular as they become better celebrated due to the enormous benefits they bring, the fantastic quality, and awesome reliability.

Tank Gauging System Integrated with Smart Wireless Technology

Tank farm automation is now easier, faster and less costly with the integration tank gauging systems and Smart Wireless technology. System installation costs can be reduced up to 50 per cent by wirelessly connecting the tank farm to the control room, with the added benefit of reducing implementation time by as much as 60 per cent. The savings free up budget for expanded automation of tank farms.

The tank gauging system with Smart Wireless technology, features a complete line of tank gauging components, including high precision radar gauges that use self-configuring, 2-wire, high speed FOUNDATION fieldbus technology. The combined communications technologies enable use of a wide range of standardised equipment. The resulting tank gauging system forms a network of digital intelligence that improves inventory management, loss control, overfill avoidance, and maintenance efficiency throughout the plant.

Many tank storage facilities that could benefit from modern, non-contact gauging currently use obsolete signal wiring, or are not connected from the tank storage area. Retrofitting an obsolete gauging system is expensive and time consuming because the distance between storage tanks and the control room can be more than one kilometre, requiring extensive trenching and cabling.

As a result of budget restrictions, some plants continue to experience maintenance problems caused by communications limitations and low performing mechanical tank gauges and instruments. Now, with Smart Wireless technology, a new radar-based tank gauging system can be installed without new long distance signal wiring. This will radically reduce material and labour costs, as well as engineering and project execution time.

How Tank Gauging System Works

The Tank Gauging System monitors inventory, so you know the exact amount of stored products. The tank gauging system measures precise batches and custody transfers between ship and shore as well as in pipeline transmissions. Use the tank gauging system for everyday operations, oil movement, scheduling purposes and blending programs. Keep accurate track of leaks and prevent overfills to reduce environmental impact and the financial consequences of oil losses.

Reduce uncertainty in oil inventory and transfers:
• Receive real-time tank data for accurate net volume calculations.
• Get certified custody transfer accuracy.
• Utilize tank capacity efficiently.
Improve safety:
• Comply with overfill prevention standards such as API 2350.
• Use SIL 2 and SIL 3 certified devices.
Simplify installation and terminal operations:
• Benefit from unique 2-in-1 technology.
• Simplify automation and expansion with Smart Wireless.
• Use gauge emulation to replace old mechanical gauges.
