Tank Farm Protection

At tank farms that store large quantities of fuel or propellant, there is a risk of an explosive gas-air mixture. To protect people and the environment, companies have to continuously monitor and regulate the fill levels of their tank farms. With a safety shutdown system, you are on the safe side. Manage dozens of independent storage tanks with the Tank Farm Overflow Protection System: an integrated, end-to-end solution. It is certified in accordance with the strict IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards up to SIL 3.

Reliable Detection of Critical Fill Levels

Continuous monitoring of tank fill levels enables the early detection of critical thresholds. When these thresholds are reached, TÜV-certified hardware, software, and SafeEthernet fulfill SIL 3 requirements to ensure safe and reliable operation. With a single controller, up to 63 tanks per network can be monitored.

Automatic Stop of Filling Operations

When critical levels are reached, the system automatically stops inflow in a controlled manner to prevent overfilling and ensure safe transfer operations. The solution offers a high level of safety by managing data transfer independently of the physical layerat speeds of up to 100 Mb/s.

Preventing Overflow and Environmental Impact

By acting at the right time, the system prevents overflow and reduces risks to the environment, personnel, and surrounding infrastructure. The solution works for individual installations as well as large sites with many tank farms.

Integration into Safety and Control Systems

The Tank Farm Overflow Protection System combines two proven HIMA products: The HIMatrix system is flexible, fast, and compact and ensures cost-efficient plant operation. Together with the safeethernet safety bus, you have network technology that you can flexibly adapt to the respective application. Both products are TÜV-certified up to SIL 3.
