When it comes to managing a petrochemical company, the oil tank farm is an important aspect of transportation and storage. It is very important for a petrochemical company to accurately measure the inventory of the oil tank farm, as this guides sales and production of the product in question.
The instrument used for this is called the zone level gauge, this ensures the accuracy, safety, and stability of the oil tank farm and is vital for the safe and economic production of petrochemical products.
This is aided by radar measurement technology, which has been applied to industrial automation measurement since the mideighties. The radar system is derived from military technology and has made a fundamental leap in modern
tank measurement technology.
It has even solved some of the hazardous working conditions within the oil tank
measuring systems.
Radar level gauges have solved the issue of being unable to accurately measure the contents of the tank, and have therefore become the number one choice of tank area level measuring instruments due to their vastly superior performance when it comes to accurate measurements of products.
The radar level gauge is an intelligent liquid level measuring instrument, which has its unique advantages when it comes to measuring oil products in tank farms.
These advantages include non-contact measurement, which helps prevent
contamination, a large measuring range (essential for large-scale industrial enterprises), high precision, and easy installation which can help reduce installation costs.
Also, the digital Fieldbus transmission method is vital for reliability, accuracy, and stability regarding oil measurement at oil tank farms. It not only saves costs, but also meets the requirements of modern technology regarding integration, digitization, and networking.
In conclusion, radar level meter technology will continue to play a significant role in the measurement of oil at tank farms within the petrochemical industry.
