When an Oklahoma fuel and lubricant distributor needed reliable level measurement of their onsite field storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. The company supplies oil field and agriculture heavy equipment operators with diesel fuel and lube oil. Their challenge is efficiency. The driver stops at a customer location, pulls hoses to as many as nine tanks, and returns to the truck to start pumping. But pump how much to where? The driver had to stick each tank, estimate the available capacity, and intensely monitor the filling process, which added up to 30 minutes to each delivery. They needed a better way. For this reason, Flowline suggested the use of our guided wave level sensors installed on each tank with a quick disconnect connector. Now the driver pulls a hose with cable to each tank, connects the cable to the sensor, returns to the truck and turns on power. The guided wave sensors provide continuous level data to a multi-tank display, which reduces delivery time and driver error. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
