Fuel Distributor Bulk Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a Northeast fuel distributor needed reliable level measurement of their diesel, bio-fuel, heating oil and additive tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm receives, stores, blends and delivers energy products to automotive, residential, aviation and marine customers via their terminal distribution center, and timely fulfillment requires accurate inventory and logistics. The sticky oil based products are stored in horizontal bulk tanks that previously had mechanical level gauges. The I&C technician said the gauges frequently clogged, were a maintenance problem, and they needed reliable hazardous level measurement. For this reason, Flowline suggested our non-contact US03 ultrasonic sensor that’s ideal for oil based fuels and lubricants. The intrinsically safe ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the inventories and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
