A Smart Solution for Monitoring the Level of Oil Tanks

Monitoring the internal inventory of oil storage tanks is a key issue in the oil industry.

The Monitoring equipment must meet certain requirements, which include:

1. Existence of multi-party linkage to facilitate on-time alarms and react to failures.

2. The system must be easy to deploy without changing the structure of the tanks.

3. The equipment must be easy to use and simple to debug

4. The equipment must be explosion-proof.

There are manual methods for monitoring the level of oil tanks. However, manual methods cannot be used to measure real-time, and in addition, this method has deviations. Therefore, intelligent monitoring technology seems to be a more efficient way to monitor the level of oil tanks. There are several benefits to using this technology. For example, as the tank level decreases, the necessary warning is issued to refill it, reducing business operations and sales costs. Its Storage inventory and historical usage provide us with data support for the manufacturing and operation of the enterprise.

A Smart Solution for Monitoring the Level of Oil Tanks

This technology uses special liquid level transmitters. The resulting data is transferred to the monitoring terminal and then transmitted to the big data management platform. Thanks to this platform, the collected data is visualized, can be displayed on PC and mobile phones, parameters are adjusted remotely, and intelligent management is implemented. In this system, it is also possible for customers to check the position and location distribution of equipment via the GIS system.

These special liquid-level transmitters are oil-resistant, corrosion-proof, explosion-proof, ATEX-certified, IP68 rated, and high-accurate (accuracy: ±0.5% FS), small in size and light in weight, and do not require tank reshaping. Their output signal is 4mA~20mA DC (2-wire) 0V~5V/10V DC (3-wire) 0.5V~4.5V DC (3-wire (and their range is 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200mH2O.
