APCS Analiq
Control system for weight and type of petroleum products
This solution is used when measurements of a large number of rail tankers are necessary. Operative account of the weight of petroleum products in train tanks on any part of the path, including those under the contact mains, control of the type and quality of petroleum products without opening a tank, without performing any in-laboratory analysis - is one of the most effective applications, which provides a rapid recoupment of the instrument.
For the control and accounting of transported petroleum products, for report generation according to the consignment note, the package includes a software ANALIQ, that installs on Windows OS computer.
Features of the solution
There are two main versions of the software for the levelmeter and analyzer ANALIQ-M:
- The software version "Visible measurement" – the LCD display indicates the measurement results
- The software version "Blind measurement" is designed to minimize the impact of human factors:
— The LCD display does not show any measurement results
— The display indicates the types and numbers of tanks, error messages and prompts for a user
— A search engine for tank number is implemented based on any amount of the last digits of its number
Before the beginning of measurements the computer program ANALIQ transfers a list of numbers and types of tanks that need to be measured in accordance with the invoice.
List of numbers and types of tanks
More than 100 calibration tables for railway and stationary tanks are stored in the non-volatile memory of the analyzer.
Regardless of the software version, the level analyzer enables to perform group memorization of all the measurement data and calculations with the subsequent issuance of those to the computer via RS232 / USB.
The report shows: the number and type of tank according to the invoice, the liquid level (mm), temperature (° C), density (g /cm3, 4 decimal places), volume (m3), weight (T, accuracy up to kg.), type of product, defined by the device (A76 Lysychansk, A95 Lukoil, DT winter-type Kremenchug, etc.), the level of produced water (mm). For a mixture of propane-butane the percentage of propane is shown.
Data received from the levelmeter ANALIQ-M is displayed in Excell format.
List of the received data
Manual calculations
The ANALIQ software enables to work autonomously. In that case all data regarding the liquid level, speed of sound, temperature and tank (reservoir) type are entered manually.
Software Analiq in manual calculation mode allows to:
- Automatically determine the type of liquid according to the data entered
- Bring density of liquids to standard conditions (T = 20 and T = 15)
- Calculate liquid density at the measuring temperature at (T = 15, T = 20), or any other temperature according to the data entered
- Determine density, volume and weight of many liquid petroleum products fractions, LPG, chlorine and ammonia
- Define the percentage of propane-butane
- Calculate saturated vapor pressure of LPG, chlorine and ammonia
- Determine density, volume and weight of the liquefied gas vapors, etc.
More detailed information on work of the Analiq software can be found in the manual for Analiq-M.
