2.3.1 Applications
Inventory control
By using Tankvision Multi Scan to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable
liquids remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and
chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volume of the stored medium in real time. The data can
be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage tank
farm operations like pumping or transferring products. Tankvision has its unique concept
using network technology. Without using proprietary software, the users can visualize and
manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a web browser. Tankvision Multi Scan
is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The application
coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.
Inventory Calculations
Tankvision Multi Scan calculates based on measured variables and tank capacity tables:
• Observed/Gross volumes,
• Net volumes and
• Mass
