Storage & transportation of chemicals can be risky
Reduce risk without compromising availability and efficiency
The Chemical industry faces many challenges not only in processing hazardous materials but also during storage and transport. This poses potential hazards for people and the environment. To avoid these hazards and reduce safety risks during this process are your top priorities. Disasters such as the Bhopal tragedy and the release of toxic substances in Seveso, illustrates the importance of proper safety management.

Optimized logistics concept for tank systems
Protection throughout the entire loop
In order to ensure you remain protected, the entire safety loop system including measuring, controlling and correcting elements should come from one source. With our comprehensive portfolio, we also help you overcome challenges like productivity, safety and environmental issues as well as getting real time information of your tank farm. We provide you with appropriate solutions to handle hazardous processes of chemicals safely as they include:
Certified safety engineers and management systems
Standards and recommendations which are internationally recognized: NAMUR, WHG, IP, ASME, NACE, API, IEC 17025, MID, OIML
Hazardous area approvals that are internationally accepted: ATEX, IECEx, FM/CSA, NEPSI, TIIS, INMETRO
State-of-the-art technology like functional safety according to IEC 61508 (up to SIL 3)
Uniform operating safety by design concepts for simple and safe operations

Processes and applications
Reliable metering solutions ensuring safety of your storage
Besides targeting safe monitoring of your tanks, it is also important to keep track of how much chemicals and available storage space you have on-site. That’s why inventory control, loading and unloading in tank terminals, depots and transport vehicles need to be of the latest design. We provide you with appropriate process measurements such as level and flow for your successful terminal control, from high accuracy Tank Gauging through to transfer of highly viscous products.
Tank overfilling can cost you money, reputation and trust
Tank overfills are a major concern as their results can be disastrous. Controlling the level of your tanks requires sophisticated techniques as measurement must be accurate to prevent this hazard.
Our Liquiphant Failsafe point level switch provides accurate fluid-level measurement for overfill prevention independent of other gauging systems installed on your tank or container
Safe function thanks to continuous self-monitoring, smart proof testing via push button without dismounting and a proof test interval of up to 12 years saves you time and money
Safe, reliable and transparent level measurement with Micropilot 80GHz radar devices, for continuous non-contact measurement of liquids
Monitoring a tank safely with an intelligent system
A faulty level gauge can fail to alert operators at a storage depot when a storage tank is being filled to a dangerously high level. Using an independent automated overfill prevention system helps to reliably detect, indicate and prevent hazardous overflow of your chemical or petrochemical storage. This results in:
Significant time savings thanks to performing the filling operation of multiple tanks simultaneously without administering
Increased tank capacity thanks to reduced reaction times to shutdown
The remote automated proof test saves time and reduces effort - 16 tanks in less than 5 minutes
Safe loading of hazardous products with Coriolis principle
With our Coliolis measurement principle we offer you an accurate and safe measurement compared to volume flowmeters when loading hazardous materials. How can you benefit by using this principle?
Our loading metering skids (LMS) are designed and certified in accordance with the Measurement Instrument Directive (MID), guaranteeing you compliance with the legislation on trading transactions
Reduce billing errors, thanks to high-performance Coriolis Promass meters
Lower pressure loss than with volume flowmeters
