Gas Compressor Station Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a Texas oil company needed reliable level measurement of their compressor station storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. Travel a natural gas pipeline and about every 50 miles or so, you’ll find a compressor station. The stations scrub, filter and push the gas down the next pipe section on its way to market. These systems consume a lot of glycol, scavenger, diesel and lubricating oils, and require frequent replenishment. The firm was dissatisfied with the high cost of previous radar level sensors, and needed a reliable, low cost, non-contact level sensor that can be applied in hazardous locations. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe reflective ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the SCADA, which monitors the bulk tanks and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
