Lube Oil Transfer Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When an Alabama lube distributor needed reliable level measurement of their rail transfer tanks, they turned to Flowline. The company blends and packages engine, hydraulic, turbine, compressor and gear oils for private label clients. To supply them, they receive bulk oil deliveries from rail cars that are offloaded to transfer tanks, which in turn, fill the bulk tanks in their facility. The operator said that previous pressure level sensors were unable to measure below 8% of their transfer tanks capacity. As a result, the staff would often short the tank transfer, and occasionally run a pump dry, costing them either way. For this reason, Flowline suggested our UG03 ultrasonic sensor that measures the entire capacity of the tank, improving transfer efficieny. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the operator display at each transfer station. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
