Petroleum Storage Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a California oil company needed reliable level measurement of their crude oil storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. Their well stream flows through battery tanks for oil, water and methane separation prior to being pumped to bulk storage tanks for truck transportation to their mid-stream refinery customers. There the firm has a remote tank monitoring system and needed to replace pressure level sensors due to their inaccuracies caused by changes in density over temperature and diaphragm clogging over time. The operator said, “I want something that’s accurate, reliable and maintenance-free.” For this reason, Flowline suggested our non-contact 80 GHz radar sensors that all that, and ideal for use in remote monitoring systems, including those with line or battery power. The radar sensors provide reliable inventory data to the telemetry system, which monitors the tanks and posts the data for web access. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
