Hazardous Oil and Brine Tank Level Measurement

When a West Virginia oil company needed reliable level measurement of their crude and brine storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. After being pumped from the well, the oil and brine water are separated and both liquids are stored in large tanks awaiting transportation for processing or disposal. There the operator contracted with an integrator to select and install new level sensors, that when connected to their RTU’s, provided tank inventory data to the cloud for truck routing. Additionally, as most tanks were not instrumented, they wanted to eliminate the need for their employees to manually check tank levels, and thus avoid contacting hazardous H2S gas that’s flammable and toxic. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR81 80-GHz radar sensor that’s intrinsically safe, unaffected by vaporous or corrosive media and very reliable. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the battery tank RTU, which pushes the data to the cloud. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
