Application
Buffer and storage tanks are needed at numerous places in refineries for storing the input and output materials of the various process steps. The containers have different geometries, ranging from horizontal or vertical spherical tanks to horizontal cylindrical tanks to portable plastic containers. To run the refining processes effectively, which includes ensuring the availability of the media, it is crucial to know the exact levels in these storage tanks at all times.
