AUTOMATIC TANK GAUGING SYSTEM

Automatic Tank Gauging Systems (ATGS)

At EMITROL, since 2013, we are one of the global leaders in precision terminal gauging solutions, delivering mission-critical measurement, automation, and safety systems for bulk liquid storage terminals. Our expertise ensures regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and loss prevention across oil & gas, chemicals, and renewables.

1. Core Competencies in Terminal Gauging

A) High-Accuracy Inventory Management

  • ±0.1mm level measurement with radar (Brent Adler, VEGA) and servo gauges (Endress+Hauser, Honeywell)
  • Mass vs. volume reconciliation (API Ch. 12/17, ISO 4266)
  • Automatic temperature compensation (ASTM D1250-IP2000)

B) Custody Transfer & Fiscal Compliance

  • OIML R85/R125 & API MPMS-certified systems
  • Meter proving (PD/Coriolis) with automated ticket generation
  • Full audit trails for tax/royalty calculations

C) Integrated Overfill Prevention

  • SIL 2/3 certified solutions (IEC 61511)
  • Triple-redundant level detection (Radar + Servo + Float gauges)
  • Single/Double-redundant High/Low Level Switching (Vibrating Fork, Float + Buzzer Alarm)
  • Emergency shutdown (ESD) integration with loading system, pumps, switchgear,

D) Advanced Leak Detection

  • Tanks base and area leak detection system.
  • Statistical Inventory Reconciliation (SIR)
  • Pressure/vacuum monitoring for Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs)
  • Acoustic pipeline monitoring (Siemens Permasense)

2. Unique Differentiators

Capability Industry Standard Our Advanced Solution
Measurement Accuracy ±3mm ±0.5mm with dynamic error compensation
Data Integrity Manual logs Blockchain-secured data hashing
Hazardous Areas ATEX Zone 1 Zone 0 (intrinsically safe gauges)
Integration Standalone gauges Unified IoT platform (PAS Cyber Integrity)

3. End-to-End TGS Implementation

A) Design Phase

  • HAZOP/LOPA studies for safety system specification
  • 3D laser scanning for optimal gauge placement
  • API 2350-compliant overfill protection plans

B) Commissioning

  • Wet calibration with prover trucks (On Demand)
  • API 4.8/4.9 tank strapping verification
  • Control loop tuning for blending operations

C) Ongoing Support

  • Predictive gauge maintenance (AI-based drift detection)
  • Remote calibration services
  • Regulatory audit preparation (Weights & Measures)

4. Technology Partnerships

  • Gauging: Brent Adler, Emerson, Krohne, L&J Technologies
  • Safety: HIMA, Schneider Triconex
  • Software: Brent Adler (BAT-Soft T), AVEVA PI, OsiSoft, Endress+Houseer Netilion

5. Proven Results

✅ 99.99% data availability in harsh environments
✅ 0.02% annual loss reduction via SIR
✅ 60% faster truck/railcar loading with automated batch control
