SURVEYOR™ Multipurpose Monitoring & Control System
FOR OIL DEPOTS, OIL TERMINALS, PETROL STATIONS, DRY BULK STORAGE

The Automatic Multipurpose Monitoring & Control System – the heart of all SURVEYOR™ Systems

Being mindful of the need to offer the so desired universal and flexible solution for monitoring of cargo tank levels, tank and manifold pressures, temperatures, and other parameters, and deliver the information locally or remotely, Ariston Norway AS developed the advanced Multipurpose Monitoring & Control System.

System design, size and easy installation contribute to creating more human friendly and ergonomic environment solutions. Through virtually unlimited expansion possibilities the system can handle a variety of sensors, adding or removing monitoring points howsoever a need arises.

Configuration of a new monitoring point or update of the configuration can be done on-site by connecting the control unit TCU to a PC via serial line.
The TCU control unit performs all the processing of the signals from the I/O cards and supplies power to the I/O cards and the display unit. The control unit supports communication protocols to the majority of makers' automation systems - for example digital I/O, the rmocouples, etc.

The system is redundant on multiple levels: data presentation, data preservation, power backup, local and remote logging. Data is stored in encrypted format making it possible only to authorised personnel to have access to it.

Tank monitoring data can be transferred wirelessly via radio serial line or via GPRS.

SURVEYOR™ Automatic Cargo Tank Monitoring

(LEVEL, WEIGHT, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE) WITH REMOTE DATA TRANSFER VIA GPRS

Sensors based on proven non-contact microwave radar technology featuring power and signal on a two core cable, thus providing for simple, fast and cost effective installation for both new-buildings and retrofit projects. Because of its unique design and technology there is no need for large and tall adapter trunks in order to fit radar to tank. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the radars can be fitted on existing flange opening on top of any tank.

Applications
- Crude Oil Tanks
- Chemical / Products Tanks
- LPG Tanks
- Petrol Station Tanks
- Grain Cargo Silos

Advantages
- High accuracy in all kinds of cargo.
- Compact design and easy installation.

- Superior technology allowing fitting close to tank side and on smaller tanks as well.
- For Chemical and Oil/Products tank installations a special PTFE flange seal provides a non stick surface that eliminates cargo build-up on the radar antenna.
-Measuring in solid cargoes that previously could not be done accurately with radar.
- Empty tank detection
- Not affected by liquid agitation
- Not affected by foaming cargoes
- Not affected by high viscous cargoes
- Scheduled maintenance free
- Calibration data stored in the sensor
- Sensor specially designed for heavy duty applications
- Suitable for new and retrofit projects alike
- Local and remote data readings with logging function

SURVEYOR™ Independent High Level & Overfill Alarm System

This is a high quality product based on proven technology for heavy duty and industrial applications. A complete system can be delivered either as a single or as a dual point system for high level and overfill (high-high) level alarm detection for any kind of liquid, including any hydrocarbons and chemicals.

The system is fully compliant with the requirement of regulations for high level alarms and overflow control.
Visual and audible alarms will display on the alarm panel as well as via external Eex alarm lights and sirens. The high level (95% and overfill 98%) alarms are totally electrically independent from each other. System sensor test for verification of alarm function is integrated. The system features a built-in function for preventing false alarms.

Applications
Crude Oil Tanks
FPSO Tanks
Chemical / Products Tanks
LPG Tanks
Petrol Station Tanks
Grain Cargo Silos

Advantages
No moving parts
No maintenance
No calibration after installation
No adverse effects from tank cleaning machines
No adverse effects from cargo residue.

SURVEYOR™ REMOTE Pump & Valve Control

Advanced and yet user-friendly software to provide monitoring and control of pumps and valves.
Pump & Valve Control software is set up on approved WinXP computer workstation(s) in a dedicated control room that connects to an uninterrupted power source.

The system can interface with a wide range of pumps and valve actuators using a variety of connection possibilities.
The PVCS is fully integrated with the Multipurpose Monitoring & Control System, automatically acquiring tank gauging and alarm data from TCU.

The system features excellent user interface through detailed graphics presentation of tanks and tank plan.

System can be configured to display individual as well as group of tanks with colour coding of liquids type, position of valves - binary or proportional, and pumps operation on/off, with alarms.
Continuous communication with SURVEYOR™ Tank Monitoring enables the Pump & Valve Control System to also present crucial tank information like level/volume/weight, pressure and temperature.

SURVEYOR™ Water-in-Oil Detection & Dewatering System

This is a highly sophisticated product designed and produced by Ariston Norway AS to the highest standards for such equipment. Technology applied is based on digital microwave sensors with temperature elements WIS (pat. pending), which operate continuously submerged in the liquid, in contact with the liquid.

Sensor technology is based on detection of water through the dielectric properties of the liquid, which allows unmistakably to detect and distinguish water from oil.

Sensors are submerged /fixed or movable/ which provides for not only detecting water at a predefined level, but also to detect oil-water interface and follow the changes of level of that interface continuously, if required. Installation of sensors is devised in a manner that allows placing them in already full tanks, without need of hot works, tank wall penetrations, etc.

Sensors are designed to continuously operate without need for scheduled maintenance or re-calibration, which results in significant savings of maintenance and service costs during the operation time of the system.

Automatic detection of water and the de-watering process are done on a continuous autonomous basis, which reduces the time necessary to detect and drain the water in the tanks. This results in extending the life of tank coatings, protecting the tank itself and reducing the risk of uncontrolled spill of contaminated waters outside the tank.
