Which connected telemetry solution for propane tanks? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Connected sensors for propane tanks:<\/strong><\/h3><\/h2><\/div>

Telemetry systems and connected level gauges for propane or LPG<\/strong> (Liquid Propane Gas) tanks<\/strong> are not new.<\/p>\n

In fact, systems have existed for more than twenty years. Certainly complex but allowing to follow remotely the level of a propane tank.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

These systems are installed on existing Rochester-type gauges and generally operate using 2G\/3G. Quite reliable although not very accurate, they manage to measure a remaining quantity of LPG in %. The measurements vary between 15 and 85%. So when the gauge reads 15% it means that the LPG tank is empty. When the gauge reads 85% it means the tank is full.<\/p>\n

These sensors have a necessity in reality, they must be ATEX certified<\/strong> in order to avoid any explosion in case of a tank leak or gas release.<\/p>\n

Today, it is estimated that in France, out of 760,000 tanks in operation (according to figures from the Butane Propane sector of France Gaz Liquides<\/a>, the federation of market players), less than 10% are currently equipped with this type of system. The main tanks equipped with this system are those used for industrial applications. Very few individuals heating with propane or agriculture have already monitored their tanks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What’s new with Fuel it’s GPL Telemetry company?<\/strong><\/h3><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Since the end of 2020, Fuel it offers a complete telemetry solution (hardware, software & service) for propane tankers.<\/p>\n

This solution is deployed with its historical fuel distributor customers who have a bulk propane delivery activity. It meets a great success…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
