An introduction to the Rosemount TankRadar Rex system

Tank Intelligence™ is our business

What would you call a smart solution for monitoring storage

tank content and activities?

We call it Tank Intelligence™

Whether you’re a refinery operator, an oil com-pany loss-control manager, or an independent tank farm manager, the exact quantity of bulk petroleum products in your storage tanks is of great importance to your daily work.

Inventory value, loss control, storage capa-city utilization, leak detection, and overfill pro-tection are some of the important issues that you deal with – and they all depend on the quality and performance of your tank gauging system.

Naturally, constant access to reliable and relevant information in real time regar-ding tank content helps you make better and more informed decisions. At the end of the day, this means better productivity, increased safety and higher profitability.

This is the scope of Tank Intelligence.

Value-added tank gaugingIn short, Tank Intelligence is the sum of all func-tions, benefits, and added value delivered by the Rosemount TankRadar Rex system. In my opi-nion, it is the best tank gauging system on the market. Our customers, many of them major oil companies, will agree. In this brochure I’ll present the reasons in detail, but here are some of the most important ones:

We can start with the measurement trans- mitters – no other system provides more reliable and accurate measurement of tank content and conditions.

Moreover, no other radar gauge requires less maintenance.

No other system solution uses the hardware or software in a smarter way.

And no other tank gauging system can communicate so well with surrounding systems.

If this sounds interesting, your local Rosemount Tank Gauging representative will be pleased to tell you more. In the meantime, I think you’ll find the following pages worth reading.

Tank Intelligence solutions:The Rosemount TankRadar Rex system

The Rosemount TankRadar Rex system is as flexible as it is robust. Depending on your setup, you may benefit most from a single stand-alone radar gauge with a local readout or from a complete system solution handling hundreds of tanks and distributing data on a global level via the Internet.

Level and volumeA single Rosemount TankRadar Rex gauge mounted on top of an oil tank will deliver measured liquid level values as well as cal-culated content values such as Total Observed Volume (TOV). In stand-alone applications, the readout typically comprises a Remote Display Unit on the tank top or on the ground.

Temperature and water interfaceComplement the Rex gauge with a Multispot Thermometer and an integrated Water Level Sensor. Now the Rex system will not only deli-ver measured liquid level and volume, but also calculated average temperature and water interface level. With such temperature data available, level values are corrected for any thermal expansion of the tank walls. Using the TankMaster software, you get Gross Observed Volume (GOV), Gross Standard Volume (GSV), and Net Standard Volume (NSV).

Hydrostatic and vapor pressureNow add two Digital Pressure Transmitters. One at the bottom of the tank, in the liquid, and one

at the top, in the tank atmosphere. Together with the TankMaster software, this provides a complete hybrid tank gauging system, delivering measured values such as observed density, hydrostatic and vapor pressure, as well as cal-culated hybrid values like reference density and mass – all online!

Lean and clean installationSo far in our example, all input connections are made directly into the radar transmitter head. Which means the need for junction boxes is mini-mized, keeping the installation lean and clean.

A Multispot Thermometer with six tempe-rature elements can be connected directly to the transmitter head together with two Digital Pressure Transmitters. If you need more than six temperature elements per tank, a Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) is added.

Flexible field communicationThe values measured and calculated by the Rex gauge are sent to the control room in several ways: via either standard buses, such as Profibus

and Tiway, or our proprietary TRL/2 bus. Via the field bus, the Rex gauge is connec-

ted to a Field Communication Unit (FCU), which continuously polls and stores tank content data from up to 32 Rex gauges and DAUs. On request, the FCU delivers tank content data to the Rosemount TankMaster server. This ensures that the system is updated continuously with fast and reliable tank data.

If you prefer, data can also be delivered directly to your DCS/SCADA system or plant host computer.

Intelligent gauge emulationThe Rex gauge is also compatible with all major tank gauging systems. This means the Rex gauge can use your currently installed field bus by emula-ting a gauge from your present system vendor.

This feature makes it possible to replace old mechanical or servo gauges with modern Rex gauges, without the need to replace any field cabling or master system software. Step by step you can upgrade your current system to a Tank Intelligence system, at your own pace.

Tank Intelligence functionsThe Rosemount TankRadar Rexsystem is typically used for:

Plant operations - Oil movement monitoring- Operations and blending control- Leak and overfill protection (hi-hi/lo-lo level alarms)- Events review- Reports

Corporate management - Inventory calculations- Loss control- Custody transfer- Legal custody transfer

The radar gauge on top of everything

The Rosemount TankRadar Rex gauge series is designed to deliver tank quantity data with maximum reliability and accuracy for all tank farm applications, with a minimum of mainte-nance requirements and with the easiest pos-sible installation and setup procedures.

The Rex gauge comes in four versions, each designed for maximum performance within its specific field.

Horn antenna gauge RTG 3920: designed specifically for mounting in existing small tank nozzles (min. 8 inches) near the tank wall on fixed roof tanks. False radar echoes from the tank wall will not affect the measurement quality, thanks to our intelligent signal polari-zation. This gauge measures all types of liquids, but is less suitable for asphalt and simi-lar products.

Parabolic antenna gauge RTG 3930: has a large heavy-duty stainless steel and PTFE antenna. The antenna is extremely tolerant of

sticky and condensing products. This makes this gauge an excellent choice for all products, from the very clean to asphalt and blown bitumen.

Still-pipe gauge RTG 3950: designed for tanks with a still-pipe and with or without a floa-ting roof, such as crude oil tanks and gasoline tanks. Our patented Low Loss Mode maintains approved custody transfer accuracy when measuring in rusty and deposit-coated still-pipes. A removable wave-guide facilitates hand-dips and sampling.

LPG/LNG gauge RTG 3960: for measuring, with approved custody transfer accuracy, in pressurized tanks with liquefied gas. A still-pipe makes the signal sufficiently strong even from a boiling surface. A patented reference pin is used to verify measurements when the tank is pressurized. Optional vapor pressure sensor and ball valve.

Intelligent features for maximum performance

Temperature control. The Rex gauge is desig-ned for problem-free operation in all climates. The temperature of the electronics is kept con-stant regardless of the ambient temperature. This is one of the reasons for the gauge’s high accuracy and 65-year Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

Digital reference. You will never have to take a Rex gauge out of service for recalibration. In order to achieve the highest precision, measu-rement accuracy is checked continuously using a built-in digital crystal oscillator as a reference.

Drip-off antennas. All our antennas have a Drip-off design according to API Ch 3.1B ed 1, making them less susceptible to condensed water conta-mination and product build-up. This means hig-her accuracy and improved reliability.
