Griffin Fast Lube required a monthly inventory check on its bulk tanks. In order to determine the amount of product in the tank, employees would calculate the gallons per inch in each tank. This method became complicated for anyone unfamiliar with the process. Employees would drop a tape measurer to the bottom on the bulk tank and pull it up to see where the oil level was, and often it was difficult to determine exactly where the line was.

US Chemical Solutions houses two large 40-ft tall glycerin tanks both having the capacity to hold 400,000 gallons of fluid. Previously, the staff would manually check the float gauge on each tank by climbing onto the tank to check fluid levels and used a strapping table to convert inches into gallons of fluid in each tank.

Upshur County Road and Bridge Department uses approximately 12,000 gallons of gasoline a month and 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel. Relying on a manual stick method for measuring fuel levels of the above ground tanks proved to be inefficient, disorganized, and provided inconsistent fuel measurements. Limited skilled staff availability was also a challenge resulting in last minute fuel orders which could leave the department’s fuel supply completely depleted.

With the addition of 3 new horizontal tanks, Bobcat Contracting LLC sought out a solution to manage inventory levels within their tanks in addition to minimizing downtime. Like many storage and fuel tanks, Bobcat Contracting would manually measure their fuel tank levels by sticking the tanks. Since Bobcat Contracting maintains its own fleet of tanks to service their equipment, it was important to implement a system that accurately tracked fuel levels and prevent fuel run-out.

Granite City Terminal was searching for a solution to precisely gauge the level of Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN), a fertilizer meant to maximize crop yield, in their 40-foot tall, one-million-gallon tank. The existing technique, which involves using a weighted string as a dip stick to manually measure the UAN level, has proven to be unreliable and inefficient. There is also a risk to workers’ safety when they climb the steps leading to the massive tank.
