Inventory control in palm oil refining
Level and temperature measurement for volume control in palm oil storage tanks
Reliable and precise inventory management with tank monitoring system
Staying in control of tank inventory at a palm oil refinery can be difficult. Heavy vapor, foam, bubbles, solidification and heating coils are common conditions that make level measurement inside palm oil storage tanks challenging.
A tank monitoring system is complete solution that provides control of tank operations and product inventory. With flexibility to connect a range of different measurement instruments the system can be tailored to each tank – regardless of tank size, shape, or measurement conditions. A cost-effective infrastructure solution with a single cable digital bus saves wiring for a low installation cost. State-of-the-art radar level measurement technology makes the system highly accurate and reliable, and easy-to-use software improves inventory management in the control room and can even share data to other sites such as corporate HQ.

The Rosemount 765 has an integrated water level sensor attached to the temperature sensor tube to measure free water level at the bottom of the tank. It enables correct product volume calculations.
Rosemount multiple spot temperature sensors measure temperature with a number of Pt-100 spot elements placed at different heights to provide a tank temperature profile and an average temperature.
Only fully immersed elements are used to determine product temperature. One of the temperature sensor elements may be installed inside the water level probe. Each sensor is connected to the Rosemount 2240S transmitter.
