    Key Features and Benefits

    • Ullage Gauging & Temperature Measuring

      • Description: Measures cargo oil volume, oil level, temperature, and oil-water interface in real-time with a portable gauging device, helping determine accurate cargo volume.
      • Benefits:
        • Offers high accuracy by adjusting for temperature and natural water-oil separation.
        • Portable setup provides flexibility compared to fixed systems, beneficial for deckside gauging and cargo surveys.
        • Supports “Closed” gauging requirements for enhanced safety.

    • Oil-Water Interface Detection (IMO Requirement)

      • Description: Quickly detects the interface between oil and water in slop tanks to comply with MARPOL pollution prevention requirements.
      • Benefits:
        • Ensures accurate separation of oil and water, essential for pollution prevention and regulatory compliance.
        • Approved for use in slop tanks and other cargo tanks, helping preserve marine environments.

    • Cargo Liquid Sampling

      • Description: Facilitates cargo liquid sampling using “Closed sampling” equipment, which minimizes vapor release and protects personnel.
      • Benefits:
        • Provides samples for cargo analysis without releasing harmful vapors, supporting ISGOTT safety standards.
        • Simple integration with existing tank gauging stations (vapor locks) on deck for seamless sampling.

    • Tank Bottom Dryness Checking (IMO Requirement)

      • Description: Ensures tank bottoms are dry after crude oil washing using gauges or hand dipping, as specified by MARPOL.
      • Benefits:
        • Prevents contamination by verifying tank dryness, supporting tanker safety and pollution prevention.
        • Allows efficient, manual verification across multiple tank locations, ensuring comprehensive compliance.
        •  

    • Oxygen & Flammable Vapor Concentration Measurement

      • Description: Measures oxygen and flammable vapor levels in cargo tanks to ensure safe, controlled environments before crude oil washing.
      • Benefits:
        • Critical for monitoring and maintaining oxygen levels below 8%, as per MARPOL standards.
        • Portable, accurate detection helps reduce inert gas leakage, supporting safe tank conditions.

    • Inert Gas Pressure Gauging

      • Description: Monitors inert gas pressure during crude oil washing to ensure positive pressure in the atmosphere of cargo tanks.
      • Benefits:
        • Allows continuous monitoring of tank conditions, preventing unsafe gas levels.
        • Enhances the effectiveness of crude oil washing procedures, maintaining compliant safety protocols.

    • Tank Gauging Station (Vapor Locks)

      • Description: Provides a closed system to prevent gas leakage during gauging operations and maintains safe pressure levels.
      • Benefits:
        • Prevents vapor release and enhances gauging accuracy by matching the ullage zero level.
        • Protects operators from exposure to harmful gases, promoting safer working conditions.

    • Grounding (Earthing) of Gauging Device

      • Description: Grounds the portable gauging device when connected to the tank gauging station, dissipating static electricity.
      • Benefits:
        • Minimizes static discharge risks, enhancing safety for personnel and equipment.
        • Protects against static-induced sparks, essential in high-risk environments.

    • Ease of Use and Improved Safety

      • Description: The portable gauging device is designed for convenient one-handed operation on the tank top.
      • Benefits:
        • Simplifies gauging tasks, allowing operators to complete tasks efficiently.
        • Prevents accidental dropping or damage to equipment, ensuring consistent performance.
