An Inspenet article about the safety and sustainability of maritime hydrocarbon transportation noted that the industry:
…is undergoing an evolution driven by technological advancements aimed at redefining navigation, strengthening safety protocols at sea, and promoting environmental sustainability. Within this framework of digitization and sustainability, there is a progression reshaping navigation, enhancing security, and fostering ecological responsibility in a vital industry for the global economy.
With the maritime industry accounting for 2-3% of all greenhouse gas emissions, shippers are looking for alternative fuel solutions. Reliable and accurate measurement instrumentation plays a crucial role in this transition.
With the increasing diversity of alternative fuels, a wide range of marine tank gauging level solutions is required to support this diverse range of applications.
A quick, two-minute YouTube video, “Alternative Fuel Level Measurement,” highlights a diverse range of technologies designed to accommodate level measurement on tanks with varying specifications.
Some of the tank gauging solutions highlighted in the video include:
- Rosemount MIF-61 multi-instrument flange and Rosemount TGU 53 tank radar gauge for LNG-fueled vessels
- Rosemount 5408 non-contacting radar for LPG-fueled vessels
- Rosemount TGU 68 tank radar gauge for methanol-fueled vessels
- Rosemount 5300 guided wave radar for ammonia-fueled vessels
Visit the Tank Gauging System section on Emerson.com for more information on these level measurement technologies to enable more sustainable maritime operations.
