Level Measurement for Intermediate Storage Tanks
Solutions for Intermediate Hydrocarbon Storage
Maximizing Efficiency and Safety in Intermediate Storage onsite
An intermediate storage tank in the refinery industry is a container used to temporarily hold products between different stages of the refining process, often hydrocarbons at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Installing level instrumentation in this application helps to maximize tank utilization and increases safety by providing overfill prevention.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 3408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter is a versatile FMCW radar, which features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, and is suitable for level measurement and overfill prevention in many industries, including chemical. Smart features save time and maximize efficiency for trouble-free operations, simplifying commissioning, operation and testing. Smart diagnostics help you proactively plan maintenance and optional Bluetooth® connectivity allows convenient configuration and maintenance. Manual or automatic verification at scheduled intervals can be conducted from the control room at any time without process interruptions. Perform proof-testing remotely and in-situ with onboard functionality. NAMUR type tested and third party certified to IEC61508 for use in safety critical applications.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Lens antenna available for very small process fittings (3/4") and with optional bracket mount
- All PTFE wetted parts allow for use in harsh conditions, such as corrosive medias
