Cement Storage Remote Tank Level Monitoring
Application Problem: A cement plant required continuous tank level measurement for a dusty application. The material had a very steep angle of repose that made reading the level impossible for most sensors. In addition, no solutions was available to provide remote tank monitoring, full diagnostics and troubleshooting for the level sensor. Application History: The plant tried various brands of ...

Automated parameter optimization of a water distribution system
The hydraulic model EPANET was applied and calibrated for the water distribution system (WDS) of La Sirena, Colombia. The Parameter ESTimator (PEST) was used for parameter optimization and sensitivity analysis. Observation data included levels at water storage tanks and pressures at monitoring nodes. Adjustable parameters were grouped into different classes according to two different scenarios ...

Ensuring Above Ground Storage Tank Inspection Integrity Using NDT
Oil and gas are drilled and pumped from the depths of the earth during hydrocarbon exploration. Before these hydrocarbons are transported to various destinations around the world, they are stored above ground in storage tanks. Companies rely on the integrity of storage tanks to keep their assets protected from the elements. Hence, the importance of storage tank inspections. Storage tank ...

The best water level sensor of 2023
What is a water level sensor? A water level sensor is a device for measuring too high or too low a liquid level in a fixed vessel. According to the method of measuring liquid level, it can be divided into contact type and non-contact type. The input type water level transmitter is a contact measurement that converts the level height into an electrical signal output. It is a widely used water ...

Level Measurement 101: Importance, Types, & Sensor Selection
What is level measurement? Level measurement is the process of measuring the level of a liquid or solid material inside a tank, silo, container or other vessel. Measurement is calculated from the distance between the liquid or solid material surface and a predetermined reference point, such as the top of a tank. Level measurement is typically expressed in feet or meters and can also be given as a ...

Importance of Monitoring Water Tanks
For certain industries, water storage tanks are very important for a variety of reasons from cutting costs, to going green. Farms, for example, can save money by reducing water waste after studying data captured by different remote sensors. These sensors deliver data to a central location where analysts study inefficiencies learned from monitoring water levels. Water utilities are cutting costs ...

Area Monitoring: Diffusion Sampling
Indoor and outdoor gas hazards that exist in open areas are usually monitored using diffusion-type sensors. A diffusion sensor has no active sample-drawing system; diffusion sensors rely on the ambient air movement and pressure to deliver the sample to the sensing element. Diffusion-type sensors are a reliable and cost-effective way to monitor open area gas hazards. When installing diffusion ...
