Barge Fuel and Lube Tank Radar Level Measurement

When a Tennessee barge company needed reliable level measurement of their liquid holding tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm transports crude, diesel, oil, lubricant and asphalt between terminal locations and customers up and down the Mississippi river. Barge scheduling and logistics are optimized through tank level inventory monitoring and a satellite telemetry system. The liquids are hazardous, vaporous, sticky and agitated when underway, and the operations team needed reliable non-contact level measurement. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe LR21 radar sensor that reliably measures petroleum products, independent of their variables. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the telemetry system, which uploads the tank inventories to their operations center. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
