How Does a Tank Level Monitoring System Works?

A tank level monitoring system measures and reports the liquid levels in tanks. It comprises a sensor or probe, data transmission, processing, and storage elements that work together to offer information on the liquid levels in tanks. This information comes handy during predictive maintenance and avoiding untoward accidents due to increasing or decreasing liquid levels in the tank. Let’s see how every component of a tank level measurement equipment contributes to its functioning.

  • Sensors: The tank level sensor measures the liquid levels in tanks or other containers. Some common types of sensors include submersible level sensors, ultrasonic level sensors, radar level sensors, capacitance level sensors, vibrating fork level sensors, optical level sensors, float level switches, and so on. These sensors are installed at different levels of tanks to provide accurate readings. They may be installed by drilling a hole on the tank or suspended using a rope or rod over the tank depending on the requirement. These sensors employ different techniques for collecting the liquid level data. For instance, ultrasonic sensors use sound waves, radar level sensors use microwaves, and capacitance level sensors use electrical capacitance to measure the level of liquid. 
  • Data Transmission: Data collected by the sensor is transmitted to the controller or the central monitoring unit through wired or wireless technologies. 
  • Data Processing: The data transmitted by the sensor is processed for interpreting the liquid levels in the tank. Here, some additional calculations may be performed, such as leak detection, volume calculations, and so on. This information is shared with the operator for monitoring. 
  • Display and Alerting: The processed data can be observed on the digital display or any interface, such as computer interface, mobile apps, and so on. The system can also be configured for sending notifications or alerts if the tank levels meet certain conditions such as low or high levels, and so on.
  • Data Storage: Most advanced tank level monitoring systems store the data for analysis and reporting. This data is useful for predictive maintenance, optimizing tank management, identifying trends, and so on. 
  • Integration: Tank level monitoring systems are nowadays integrated with management software or control systems to assure automated filling, excellent production control, and so on. 
  • Remote Monitoring: Many tank level monitoring systems feature remote monitoring capabilities, that allows operators and other business stake holders to receive real-time data and alerts on their system anywhere in the world. This feature works best for large tanks installed in remote locations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Tank Level Measurement Equipment

Choosing the right remote tank level monitoring system is important to serve your specific application and requirements. There are several factors to consider that help you make a right selection. A few amongst them include:

  • Compatibility: Check the compatibility of the measurement system with the type of tank you have. Different tanks demand different types of level measurement systems, such as ultrasonic, radar, capacitance, or hydrostatic pressure. For instance, ultrasonic sensors, for example, will not be suitable for narrow-shaped tanks. 
  • Environmental Conditions: Consider the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibrations, and potentially corrosive or hazardous substances in which the measurement system is put to operation. Not all models are compatible to withstand extreme environmental conditions. 
  • Installation and Maintenance: Check the type of installation and ongoing maintenance requirements of the chosen tank level measurement unit. It is recommended to invest on a model that is easy to install, calibrate, and maintain to minimize downtime and associated costs.
  • Accuracy: The accuracy level of the unit is crucial to ensure reliable and precise readings. Consider the required level of accuracy for your specific application and invest on a system that meets or exceeds that requirement.
  • Data Management: Check if the unit provides data logging or remote monitoring capabilities.
  • Output and Integration: Consider the output options of your remote tank level monitoring. Check whether you require analog or digital outputs, and whether the system can integrate with your existing control and monitoring systems before making a decision.

Tips to Maintain and Troubleshoot Tank Level Monitoring System

Following are a few of the several ways to effectively maintain and troubleshoot your tank level measurement sensor. 

  1. Regular Calibration: To ensure the accuracy of your tank level measurement system, routine calibration is a must. Calibration is a critical process that involves comparing the results obtained from your equipment to an already established standard. By doing so, any discrepancies can be identified and appropriate adjustments can be made to maintain precision during actual operation. 
  2. Software Updates: Stay up to date with the latest software updates - often contain bug fixes and improvements - provided by the manufacturer. Although software updates can enhance the performance and reliability of your system, ensure to follow the manufacturer's instructions before updating the software to prevent any compatibility issues.
  3. Inspection and Cleaning: Inspect your tank level monitoring sensors regularly for any physical damage or wear. Ensure to clean dirt or debris that may have accumulated on sensors or other components on a regular basis.
  4. Sensor Testing: Testing the sensors of your chosen level measurement system is a must in order to maintain optimum functionality. This can be done by simulating various levels and verifying if the measurements align with the expected values. 
  5. Consider Professional Assistance: If you encounter persistent or complex issues with your system, it is highly recommended to seek professional assistance. Certified technicians or experts can provide specialized knowledge and expertise to diagnose and resolve the problems effectively.
