The silent guardian of crude oil storage is often overlooked. Under the large expanse of a storage tank lies a critical function: level measurement. This seems like a fairly simple task, but it’s not. Challenges like temperature fluctuations, product buildup, and foam formation can wreak havoc on accuracy. VEGA is a trusted partner to major players in the petrochemical industry, offering the most reliable solutions to the most complex problems.

VEGA’s instrumentation is specifically engineered to conquer the complexities of crude oil storage. The VEGAFLEX 81 guided radar level sensor offers unparalleled accuracy, even in the most demanding conditions. Its ability to penetrate through buildup, foam, and vapours ensures reliable data collection, regardless of the crude’s state. This accuracy is indispensable for preventing overfills, which can lead to catastrophic environmental and financial consequences. Precise-level measurements facilitate optimal inventory management, enabling operators to make informed decisions about production, transportation, and sales.

Every superhero needs a partner, and teaming up with the VEGAFLEX 81, the VEGASWING 63 vibrating level switch provides robust overfill protection. This instrument acts as a critical safety net, safeguarding against catastrophic spills. It’s simple installation and low maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective solution. By incorporating the VEGASWING 63 into your storage facility, you significantly enhance safety and minimise the risk of environmental damage.

For applications demanding the highest level of accuracy and versatility, the VEGAPULS 6X non-contact radar level sensor saves the day. This advanced instrument can measure both liquids and solids, making it suitable for a wide range of storage tank conditions. Its ability to operate in challenging environments, such as those with high temperatures or pressures, coupled with its compliance with industry standards, positions it as a premium option for critical storage applications. The VEGAPULS 6X offers exceptional reliability, even in the presence of vapours, foam, and buildup. This precision enables operators to optimise storage capacity, reduce product loss, and improve overall operational efficiency.

The reliability and durability of VEGA instruments translate into reduced maintenance costs and increased plant uptime. The VEGAFLEX 81, VEGASWING 63, and VEGAPULS 6X are designed to withstand the harsh conditions prevalent in crude oil storage, minimising the need for frequent repairs or replacements. This translates into significant cost savings and reduced operational disruptions.

By choosing VEGA as a partner, you’re not just investing in technology; you’re safeguarding your operations.  Improved inventory management leads to increased operational efficiency, as operators can make informed decisions about production scheduling and logistics by preventing overfills and minimising product loss, directly translating to enhanced profitability. VEGA’s commitment to quality and compliance ensures that our instruments meet the highest industry standards. 

When your crude oil storage needs a hero, call the superhero in yellow. VEGA is always ready to save the day.
