Product Solutions
To meet regulations regarding emissions, many vessels are transitioning to using liquid natural gas (LNG) or liquified petroleum gas (LPG) as their primary fuel source due to their low sulfur emissions. However, this shift presents challenges in finding a marine supplier that offers a complete solution for level, pressure, and temperature measurement devices capable of operating under extreme conditions. This complete multi-instrument single flange solution can be configured to meet the needs of a future fuel tank application, ensuring safe and compliant operations.
- All instrumentation on the same flange makes it is easier for the design engineer to create the tank design
- Same configuration tool makes it fast and easy to configurate all instruments
- Same supplier for all instrumentation and the flange reduces supplier complexity
