About Fuel And Solvents Unloading Systems
When chemicals and petroleum products are being loaded from tankers into above- and below-ground tanks, our Fuel and Solvents Unloading System provides precise measurements of those chemicals and petroleum products. The only way to verify the accuracy of the dip-rod measurement standard on tankers is by accurate liquid measurement. This Fuel And Solvents Unloading System provides great defence against tampering and shortages that are common in this application. It includes a high-quality display for simple reading.

FAQ's of Fuel And Solvents Unloading Systems:
Q: How does the Fuel and Solvents Unloading System operate in both automatic and manual modes?
A: This unloading system features a PLC-based control unit that enables seamless switching between automatic and manual operations. In automatic mode, it manages valve actuation, flow measurement, and safety alarms based on pre-programmed logic, while manual mode allows operators to directly control pumps and valves as needed.
Q: What types of valves are used in the system and why?
A: The system uses automated ball or butterfly valves, selected for their reliable operation with fuel and solvent media. These valve types facilitate quick response times of under 2 seconds and maintain tight control over flow rates ranging from 0 to 10,000 liters per hour.
Q: When should the high-low level and leakage alarm system be used?
A: The high-low level and leakage alarms are crucial throughout the unloading process, providing real-time alerts if fluid levels exceed safe thresholds or if leakage is detected, thereby preventing overflows, spillage, or hazardous incidents.
Q: Where can this unloading system be installed and what are its mounting options?
A: Designed for versatile deployment, the system is available in floor-mounted or skid-mounted configurations. This allows for installation at permanent facilities or as a portable unit, with the added benefit of robust, industrial-grade construction to suit both indoor and outdoor environments.
Q: What is the process for connecting this system to existing infrastructure?
A: Integration is straightforward, using flanged or threaded inlet/outlet connections and PG or flameproof cable entry glands. This ensures compatibility with standard piping and electrical systems, facilitating quick and secure deployment.
Q: How does the system ensure operational accuracy and reliable measurement?
A: It employs electromagnetic or ultrasonic sensors to measure flow within a 0-10,000 LPH range and achieves high accuracy at 0.2% FS. The results are displayed on a digital/LED panel and can be logged on a memory card or accessed remotely via RS485 Modbus or 4-20 mA connectivity.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this system for fuel and solvents unloading?
A: Key benefits include enhanced safety through alarm systems, reliable performance in harsh environments, efficient automated or manual control, high measurement accuracy, flexible installation options, and comprehensive data logging with advanced monitoring capabilities.
