Barge Fuel and Lubricant Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a Louisiana integrator needed reliable level measurement of their customers fuel and lubricant barges, they turned to Flowline. Their client supplies ships with diesel fuel and oil via tanker barges. The barges are 190′ long with 6 fuel tanks, 4 oil tanks and 2.5 million gallons of hazardous liquid storage. The barges are filled and moved to ships or staging locations by tug boat. The challenge is matching ship demand and location with their barges. The I&C manager said, “I need a reliable, non-contact level sensor that’ll measure any petroleum product with a dielectric value ≥ 2.” For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe LR21 radar sensor that measures low dielectric media. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to their telemetry system, which monitors the tanks and uploads the data to their clients. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
