Have you ever wondered where do all
these huge tankers unload as you pass them on the highways? Such a huge
amount of liquids can only be unloaded in a container of the similar
capacity or greater. Without a doubt, these huge tankers are seen
heading towards the different factories situated on the outskirts of
towns and villages. These huge factories have a storage area to match
its gigantic size and the storage tanks present inside them will easily
make the tanker shy away as these storage tanks are able to contain the
liquids of a dozen tankers.
These huge sized storage tanks are
the need for today’s factory. Producing thousands of products within an
eight hour shift, these factories can easily consume thousands of
gallons of liquids within a week. As far as the consumption is a matter
of concern for the staff, the bigger concern is to ensure that the
liquid storage tanks do not run dry because even a single hour’s loss
can be a huge setback to the unit’s financials and its credibility.
Hence there is not just a single liquid storage tank of an unusual size,
but there are more than one and each of them is fitted with the
liquid level indicator to monitor the level of liquids inside them.
Monitoring
these liquids is equally important to using them. Monitoring these
liquids helps in more ways than one. First of all it helps to plan out
the production targets on a daily basis. As the usable amount comes
forth, the production target can be planned out according to the lines
and the allowable quota is forwarded to the production lines. The second
benefit associated to the monitoring is estimating the production cost
of the products which is a huge factor in knowing how much has been
spent in the production of the product.
In some cases the factory
might require to use some kinds of highly sensitive and highly
inflammable liquids such as petrol, kerosene, acids and cyanides. When
using these kinds of liquids extra care and safety is required while
handling and while storing. Hence these kinds of liquids are stored in
single skinned containers so that there is zero percent chance of any
misuse or mishandling in the storage area. Since the normal liquid
measuring devices are not compatible hence, the use of the
ultrasonic level indicator
becomes necessary. With its help the single skinned containers can be
easily measured whenever required without fearing the safety of the
personnel.
