Diesel Generator Fuel Tank Radar Level Measurement

When a Southeast municipality needed reliable level measurement of their pump station backup diesel generator tanks, they turned to Flowline. Storm based power outages are inevitable, and low-lying communities are highly susceptible to flooding. To combat this, generators are deployed on critical pumping stations and many of these are remote unmanned locations. To ensure station readiness, the generators are installed above the historical flood heights, auto-run twice per month, and remotely monitored for fuel and maintenance needs. An integrator was hired to replace failing float level switches with reliable level measurement. They selected, tested for months and then successfully deployed eighteen LR80 radar sensors. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the genset controllers which monitor the fuel tank and alarm for diesel replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
