Tank Management

To monitor bulk liquids in tank farms and terminals, Endress+Hauser offers the full range of tank gauging solutions for inventory control and custody transfer applications, including radar, servo and mechanical tank gauging, inventory management software, and Coriolis mass flow meters with net oil computation and batch control. All tank gauging instruments and systems are designed and produced by Endress+Hauser, including level, pressure, multi-spot for average temperature, water bottom, flow and integration and communication devices. Our tank gauging system is compatible with virtually all existing communication protocols.

The Micropilot S planar antenna is ideal for stilling wells due to its specifically designed antenna geometry. It fits on all kinds of stilling wells without the need to maintain tough requirements such as to-lerances, hole sizes, tapering, etc. The unit can be easily retrofitted on tapered wells, formally with float and tape, without the need to remove the tapered section. In combination with radar, the Tank Side Monitor offers a unique, simple and above all, safe wiring concept. Intrinsically safe power is provided at the tank side for all integrated tank sensors.

State-of-the-art Proservo, based on the principle of displacement measurement, is a high accuracy level gauge used especially for LPG and LNG. It measures the level with an accuracy of better than 0.7 mm. It also measures product density, oil/water interface level and performs density profiling.

Multispot average temperature and water bottom

Precise tank gauging measurement also requires precise temperature measurement. Temperature defines the volume correction factor (VCF) for calculation of net standard volume. As well understood, each Kelvin represents a level change of 0.1% = 1 mm/m. Prothermo provides temperature profiling with multiple sensors. A water bottom detector with a standard length of 2 m defines the interface with an accuracy of ±2 mm.

Endress+Hauser's inventory monitoring system is custody transfer approved and monitors level and inventory, sets alarms and prints reports. It brings together all measurement data into one self explanatory, efficient and easy-to-read system. Measured and calculated variables (including tank strapping tables), such as level, temperature, mass, water level, vapor pressure, density and net standard volume (NSV), are displayed at your operator workstations.
