Product identification when unloading trains

When unloading a train in a tank farm, there is a risk of accidentally connecting the wrong wagon to the manifold. Without inline density measurement with the L-Dens 7400, different products would then be pumped into the same tank. In most cases, the mixing of different products results in out-of-spec products, and the contaminated product has to be refined again with a large financial loss.

Product detection in multiproduct pipelines

Tank terminals are supplied with a wide range of products in different ways, either via pipeline or by train and ship. Multiproduct pipelines transport different products and grades, which are pumped one after the other. Currently, the most common method to ensure the correct transfer of the products to the corresponding tanks at the tank terminal is run-time-based. Due to variations in flow speed, volumetric changes or pressure drops, even a precise calculation cannot assure an exact product cut in the way that it can be guaranteed via product detection with the inline density sensor L-Dens 7300.
