Safety
LNG is a "dynamic" liquid. If not controlled, it can generate a dangerous situation.
Inventory Management
Storage of LNG is a business. Exact data on mass contents are imperative.
Cost Control
Reliable, accurate data helps operators to take sound operational decisions that directly impact the business results.
Wartsila Tank Control Systems is the world's dominant supplier of LNG tank gauging systems, offering the only complete, turnkey LNG tank gauging solution available. LNG densities and temperatures, LNG liquid levels, tank temperature probes and LNG leak sensors are all monitored on a fully redundant "LNG Manager" communications platform providing full system information and management capabilities to the operators. "LNG Master", developed by Gaz de France, provides LNG stratification management and roll-over prediction that allows operators to utilise stratification as a tool to reduce LNG boil-off and dramatically reduce LNG storage operating costs!
