Storage and transport of chemicals, safely and efficiently

Reduce risk to health, assets and environment without compromising availability and efficiency

We help you to choose reliable solutions to ensure safety for transportation & storage for chemicals

Storage and transport of chemicals and other hazardous materials can inevitably carry potential risks. Moreover, history has shown that any accident can not only have economic impacts, but also irreparable consequences on human lives and the natural world. Mitigating such risks through rigorous safety management whilst simultaneously ensuring efficiency and availability is a major challenge for today’s worldwide chemical industry.

Tank level measurement

Overfilling a tank can not only prove costly, it can compromise trust and reputation. Accurate control of tank levels is vital, and yet requires highly sophisticated measuring technologies.

Our expertise in the field

Designed for accurate and reliable level control, our measurement portfolio enables complete control of hazardous substances and reduces risk of spillage:

  • Prevent overfill and ensure accurate fluid-level measurement with the Liquiphant Failsafe point level switch, complementing installed gauging systems
  • Enhance safety and efficiency with continuous self-monitoring, including smart proof-testing via push button without dismounting, and a proof test interval of up to 12 years
  • Leverage Micropilot 80GHz radar devices for continuous, safe and transparent non-contact measurement of liquids

Tank overfill protection

A faulty level gauge can fail to alert storage depot operators when a storage tank fills to a dangerously high level. An independent, automated overfill prevention system can reliably detect, indicate and prevent hazardous overflow of chemical or petrochemical storage systems.

Our expertise in the field

Endress+Hauser offers intelligent and reliable systems for the monitoring of storage tanks and containers:

  • Save time with safe, simultaneous filling operations for multiple tanks
  • Increase tank capacity with reduced reaction times to shutdown
  • Reduce time and effort required for simultaneous fills using remote automated proof testing (16 tanks in less than 5 minutes)

Loading and unloading

The loading and unloading of petroleum, methanol and other hazardous materials is a complex and potentially dangerous operation, presenting fire and explosion risks in the immediate area.

Our expertise in the field

Our Coriolis measurement principle enables the safe loading of hazardous materials, providing more accurate and safer measurement when compared to volume flowmeters.

  • Guarantee compliance with legislation on trading transactions using our loading metering skids (LMS), designed and certified by the Measurement Instrument Directive (MID)
  • Reduce billing errors with high-performance Coriolis Promass meters
  • Lower pressure loss than with volume flowmeters
