Tank Automation Software

Tank Automation Software

Intelligent Measurement, Secure Storage, Full Digital Control

General Petrol Tank Automation Software is an advanced automation platform developed for fuel stations, storage terminals, and industrial liquid infrastructures, delivering end-to-end digital tank management. The system is designed to operate in full integration with hardware components engineered by FIMTEK and is reinforced by General Petrol’s field integration expertise, engineering approach, and operational experience.

This software is not merely a tank level monitoring interface; it is a fully integrated tank automation solution that centralizes measurement, alarms, safety, reporting, and remote access within a single intelligent platform.

Integrated System Architecture

The Tank Automation Software operates in full integration with the following core components:

• FIMROD Magnetostrictive Level Probes
  Provide continuous, drift-free, millimetric measurement of product and water levels inside the tank.

• FIM7L ATG Console
  Acts as the central control unit that collects, processes, and manages all data received from probes and sensors across the site.

• Overfill Alarm System
  Generates software-controlled visual and audible warnings at critical filling levels.

By unifying these components under a single control logic, the Tank Automation Software creates a digital twin of each tank, enabling accurate and intelligent management.

Real-Time Tank Monitoring and Control

The software continuously monitors all critical parameters in real time, including tank levels, net volumes, temperature, water level, product type, and density.

Operators can monitor through a single interface:

• Instantaneous tank fill levels

• Daily and monthly inventory movements

• Delivery events

• Abnormal level fluctuations

All data is time-stamped and securely stored, ensuring full traceability and historical review.

Temperature-Compensated and High-Precision Measurement

The Tank Automation Software automatically processes raw measurement data received from FIMROD probes to generate:

• Temperature-compensated volumes (TC Volume)

• Corrected density and net inventory calculations

As a result:

• Inventory discrepancies are minimized

• Accounting and reconciliation processes become transparent

• Manual measurement errors are completely eliminated

Intelligent Alarm and Safety Management

The software manages tank safety in an active and proactive manner rather than passively.

Configurable alarm scenarios include:

• High-level and low-level alarms

• Overfill alarms

• Sudden level drop (leak suspicion)

• Water level increase

• Sensor or communication failures

Alarm notifications can be simultaneously delivered via:

• On-site sirens and beacon lights

• ATG console interface

• Email notifications and remote monitoring platforms

Safe Filling Management with Overfill Alarm

The Tank Automation Software manages the Overfill Alarm function at the software level, ensuring controlled and secure filling operations.

During fuel delivery:

• Tank levels are continuously monitored

• Alarms are generated at predefined thresholds (typically 90–95%)

• Operators are alerted before overfilling occurs

This proactive approach prevents:

• Fuel spills and overflows

• Fire and explosion risks

• Environmental and regulatory violations

Reporting and Operational Analysis

The software includes advanced reporting modules that provide full operational transparency.

Available reports include:

• Daily and monthly inventory reports

• Delivery and filling reports

• Alarm and event logs

• Water ingress and leak analysis reports

• Shift-based reconciliation reports

All reports are digitally archived and can be exported to external systems when required.

Remote Monitoring and Centralized Management

The Tank Automation Software enables centralized monitoring for multi-tank and multi-site operations.

Authorized users can remotely access tank data via:

• Web-based interfaces

• PCs, tablets, and mobile devices

This capability provides significant operational advantages for:

• Fuel station networks

• Storage terminals

• Industrial facilities

Industrial Integration and Open Communication

The software is designed for seamless integration with:

• PLC systems

• SCADA platforms

• ERP and accounting systems

Using industry-standard communication protocols such as Modbus RTU / TCP, tank data can be securely exchanged with third-party systems.

ATEX-Compliant and Secure Architecture

The Tank Automation Software is fully compatible with field equipment used in ATEX Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 environments.

• Critical safety functions are managed through combined software and hardware logic

• Unauthorized access and interventions are prevented

• Operational risks are minimized
