Control, Tracking, and Reporting

By using the Tank Warden System, producers and tank owners can verify that the trucking companies are reporting accurate fluid levels. The Tank Warden System also allows producers/operators to see what the current fluid levels are anytime, anywhere. In addition, the Tank Warden System allows the producers and operators to have more information about how much product was taken, by whom, what time, etc. The online reporting and tracking features give the tank owners/managers real-time data that that can be used to make more intelligent business decisions. In today's energy industry, agile businesses survive, making a real-time liquid inventory management system essential to succeed.

Tank Integrity - Off gas Leakage

Many county governments throughout the USA are starting to enforce the 43 CFR regulations on tank gauging devices. One of the main infractions of this order is the fact that many of the eternal gauging devices allow off gases to escape through an opening at the top of the tank. The BLM in New mexico has displayed pictures of many different tank gauging devices that are currently illegal as a warning to producers in areas like Utah and New Mexico. TankLogix has followed the correct channels to install a legal and safe gauging system on some tanks in New Mexico. The BLM has been on site and has sent final approval to the producer to allow them to use our device as an accepted gauging device.

Buyer's Using External Gauges Incorrectly

Another problem with external gauging devices is that they cannot adjust for temperature, density, and water content. The BLM in New Mexico has also taken issue with buyers using the external gauging systems instead of manually gauging the tanks and taking a sample. One major benefit of the TankLogix System is that only users with an pre-programmed user ID can access the tank readings. Thus helping the buyers abide by the custody transfer laws and regulations regarding oil and gas measurement.

Reduce Your Risk

Another benefit of implementing the Tank Warden System is the decreased accident risk. Drivers in harsh climates have to climb stairs in the rain and snow to take a manual gauge of the tanks. The Tank Warden System allows the driver to gauge the tank without climbing anything. In addition, the Tank Warden System reduces the amount of noxious gases in the air by reducing the number of trips to a tank battery. Some additional benefits of the Tank Warden Automatic Tank Gauging System are:

• Customized communication systems that send text message or email alerts
• Reduced carbon footprint including H₂S and other noxious gases
• Less billable miles through efficient dispatching of trucks
• Online data and monitoring and tank management
• Leak detection
• Eliminates manual tank gauging, reducing the risk of falling or breathing noxious gases.

Level Accuracy

The Tank Warden System uses ultrasonic, pressure, magnetic, and float sensors to determine the most accurate and cost effective solutions to solve your liquid level needs. All of the sensors that are used have a maximum resolution of .1". TankLogix can communicate to any modbus RS485, RS422, or RS232 output sensors.

Better Truck Dispatch & Driver Scheduling

TankLogix allows tank owners and managers to better determine dispatch schedules for trucks reducing the number of billed miles for trucking companies substantially. In addition, text message and email alerts can be sent to keep users updated throughout the day on the status of all of their tank batteries. This way, a tank owner will never be the victim of skimming, overbilling, or underbilling without immediate knowledge of the problem. All of the transaction data and level information can be downloaded and exported into excel as well as viewable online.

Leak Detection

The Tank Warden System has built-in leak detection capabilities to email or text the tank owner/operator when a leak is detected. The email or text message alerts lets the tank owner know that the tank was either drained by an unauthorized person, or there is a leak in the tank. This leak protection is necessary for any tank battery containing hazardous, flammable, or combustible materials to minimize lost product, pollution, contamination, and fines.

Other Benefits:

• Liquid level measurement accuracy of 0.1”
• Dual level detection
• Tank temperature monitoring
• Low power requirements - Runs entire system through solar energy
• Reduced driving time and miles
• Real-time transaction management and tracking
• Customized and redundant communication systems
• Reduced carbon footprint including H₂S and other noxious gases
• Online data and monitoring
• Leak detection
• Reduces safety hazards and risks

Manual Tank Gauging Systems Are Inefficient

With the current system, producers must rely on their distribution chain for information. Drivers are required to take manual tank measurements and sometimes “eyeball” the levels of condensate, water and oil. If measurements are only off by 2 or 3 percent this could still cost the producer hundreds or even thousands of dollars in lost inventory for every pickup. TankLogix automatic tank gauging system eliminates human error, while enhancing tank security and tank control.

The Tank Warden System is able to provide dual level detection to measure the oil and water interface or any other combination of liquids. With Tank Warden, producers determine exact inventory levels within seconds of a transaction, helping supply chain management and inventory control. Plus, the Tank Warden System minimizes hazardous risk to drivers and the environment. The Tank Warden System enhances personnel safety and environmental safety.

The Tank Warden System is available for leasing or purchase. Customers can take advantage of a 5-year lease option. TankLogix warrantees the equipment for 2-years, guaranteeing replacement of the equipment at no cost to the customer.
