LEVEL INSTRUMENTS FOR TANK OVERFILL PROTECTION

Tank Overfill Protection: Recommended Practice for Level Control External Floating Roof Tank overfill incidents in recent years have resulted in loss of life and billions of dollars in damages to petroleum facilities worldwide. One of the worst incidents — the overflow of a gasoline storage tank at Buncefield Oil Depot (U.K.) — has been traced to the failure of level control to maintain containment of the flammable liquid. More common are minor spills that cause significant environmental impact and result in millions of dollars in clean-up fees and environmental agency fines. In the wake of...

Levels of Concern (LOCs) Critical High AOPS Activation High-High Maximum Working Minimum Working Levels of Concern are calculated product levels in the tank upon which all alarm and alert positions and response times are based. Careful calculation of LOCs ensures the success of the OPS. Level Required Action Critical High Level (CH) - Required Highest level before tank damage or product overflow Spill Management Emergency Response Automated Overfill Prevention System (AOPS) Activation Level - Required with AOPS Maximum level at which termination can be automatically initiated without level...

Recommended Level Switches Point Level Sensors Point level sensors actuate at one or more discrete levels. These types of instruments may be used as the HH sensor and may be of a mechanical or electronic technology. Sensors used on floating roof tanks must detect the roof as well as the liquid should the roof become submerged. Additional point sensors may be used for additional alarms or alerts as determined by the operator.
