Level Measurement and Inventory Control in Mining Fuel Storage
Secure on-time deliveries and improve equipment uptime with full insight into your fuel tanks
Tank Monitoring for Fuel Depots in the Metals and Mining Industry
Fuel management is citical in the metals and mining sector: running out of fuel brings machinery to a standstill and generates costly downtime. To secure supply depots are constructed at the site, but how will you know when the tanks at the depot are running low?
A tank monitoring system lets you control your fuel inventory in a cost-effective and safe way. The system can connect level, temperature and pressure measurement to monitor tank contents precisely. An efficient network infrastructure using either a single cable digital bus or wireless communications enables a low installation cost. And the system software provides remote access to live inventory data - from any place at any time. All in all, a tank monitoring system lets you avoid fuel shortage and eliminate manual measurement by giving you real-time overview of your fuel storage tanks.

Rosemount TankMaster is a powerful, easy-to-use Windows-based inventory management software package. Rosemount TankMaster collects real-time tank gauging data such as level, temperature, water interface level and pressure. It automatically calculates volume and mass for inventory and custody transfer for bulk liquid storage tanks. It also provides operator overview, configuration, setup and service for Rosemount tank gauging systems.
- Increase plant efficiency by getting a complete tank overview.
- Get real time inventory calculations with API standard net volumes.
- Achieve network interoperability with host systems and other vendors.
Tank Gauging
Data Level, temperature (average and spot), free water level, pressure, liquefied gas parameters (depending on system configuration).
Inventory Calculations
Total Observed Volume (TOV), Gross Observed Volume (GOV), Gross Standard Volume (GSV), Net Standard Volume (NSV), mass and density according to current API tables (6, 54, 24, A-D), ISO and other major standards.
LNG and Liquefied Gases: Support for full containment storage tanks, including: cool-down, leak detection and product profile temperature measurements, stratification monitoring and alarm handling as well as optional roll-over prediction.
