Industrial Automation
Improve tank level measurement, inventory visibility, and overfill protection with tank gauging systems that combine radar accuracy, inventory calculations, safety, and plant connectivity.
Why Direct
Tank gauging performance depends on measurement accuracy, tank conditions, communications, inventory calculations, safety requirements, and how the data connects to the rest of the plant. Direct combines automation engineering with Rosemount tank gauging technology to design a complete measurement and monitoring environment around those needs.
Our Capabilities
From high-accuracy radar level measurement and inventory management through floating-roof monitoring, overfill protection, and control-system integration, Direct delivers connected tank gauging for industrial storage operations.
Direct Automation applies FMCW radar tank gauging with reference accuracy down to ±0.5 mm for reliable tank level measurement. The system supports inventory control, reconciliation, and OIML custody-transfer applications where consistent, long-term measurement accuracy is critical.
We configure tank gauging systems to combine level, average temperature, free water, and pressure measurements for gross volume, net standard volume, density, and mass. Together, these measurements support inventory visibility, reporting, reconciliation, and product movement decisions.
Radar-based monitoring can track floating-roof tilt, sticking, and buoyancy changes while giving operators better visibility into roof conditions. Earlier detection of abnormal movement helps teams investigate problems before they go unnoticed during normal tank operation.
Our systems support API 2350 overfill prevention with independent level measurement, SIL 2/3 safety architectures, alarms, surveillance, and remote proof testing. These functions strengthen overfill protection while keeping safety measurements visible, testable, and connected.
Better tank gauging gives operations more confidence in inventory, safety, and changing tank conditions. Accurate measurements, connected tank data, and flexible modernization options help teams make better decisions without replacing more infrastructure than necessary.
Level, temperature, free-water, and pressure data give operators a clearer view of inventory, reconciliation, and changing tank conditions.
Gauge emulation and phased replacement help move aging float-and-tape or servo systems to radar gauging while preserving usable infrastructure.
Connected tank information supports reporting, reconciliation, and plant-wide visibility across TankMaster, DCS, SCADA, and related systems.
