Increased safety at an oil terminal in Fujairah (UAE)

The story takes place in Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. IL&FS Prime Terminal IPTF contacted Endress+Hauser for their automated overfill prevention system solution. Although Liquiphant point level switches were deployed from the beginning, they were subject to regular manual proof tests. These involved personnel climbing the tanks, removing the transmitter and simulating an alarm by putting the sensor into a bucket of oil. Typically, these took four hours per test and tank, during which time the tank was out of operation. In addition to time, limited space in the control room and integration with existing SCADA system were also challenging. By installing the OPS, IPTF increased its plant safety, efficiency and reduced its insurance costs. Want to know more details, click here: https://eh.digital/2wcwjVV
