Varec, Inc.

Tank gauge transmitters vary in capabilities and technology. Devices with level switches can be used to drive alarms or relays. Most provide level indication from standard float gauges and are able to integrate temperature probes to provide data for temperature corrected volume measurement. Varec's latest transmitters use absolute encoder technology with highly-accurate capacitive sensors.

Float and tape tank gauges are suitable for almost all liquid storage applications and tank types. Varec's 2500 Automatic Tank Gauge and 6700 Liquid Level Indicator have been the primary liquid level measurement products used by the petroleum market for over 80 years due to their simplicity and cost. We maintain market leadership in this product category due to our continued investment in product development, customer support and field service programs.

Varec's Data Capture Units (DCU) are ruggedized electronic data acquisition, monitoring and automation devices. They connect to devices, such as flow meters or fueling interlocks, to assist with transaction validation, automate actions or identify maintenance requirements. They transfer captured data to a mobile computer or directly into the system by either a hardwired or a wireless connection.

Varec's Servo Tank Gauge (STG) product line provides an intelligent system for high accuracy liquid level measurement. It also determines the interfaces between three liquids, specific gravity of these liquids and tank bottom. To enable accurate volume calculation, a temperature device is integrated using HART® protocol or a 3-wire spot temperature connection.

Varec's Tank Gauge Interfaces provide true open communications that allow seamless integration into any tank gauging system, PLC or DCS system. Installed at the tank side or in the control room, tank gauge interfaces are used for integrating sensors and control systems. Open system architecture allows for the integration of different technologies while maintaining full system functionality. Applications may vary, but the goal for all is the same: having reliable, accurate data at a reasonable cost. If you run a tank farm, terminal or refinery, talk to us about integration devices for all major tank gauging manufacturers.

Varec temperature measurement devices range from simple spot measurement probes to more complex multi-element sensors and transmitters that are capable of measuring the temperature throughout the tank and detect water levels. The increased accuracy achieved by temperature measurement allows for tighter control of all tank farm liquid inventories. You can also track product effectively and balance book vs. physical inventories more accurately.

The Varec FODD system reduces runway downtime while increasing runway safety, allowing you to increase capacity and efficiency. At the center of the solution is a network of sensors called surface detection units (SDUs), co-located with the runway edge lights. Each SDU utilizes a combination of millimeter-wave radar and camera optics. Together, these SDUs automatically and continuously scan operational areas and use patented image-processing algorithms to monitor runway conditions for FOD, wildlife and equipment status — even during inclement weather conditions.

Radar technology is suitable for measuring a wide range of petroleum products. Radar technology is independent of the process conditions inside the tank. Temperature, pressure and gas vapors have minimal effect on "radar impulses." The dielectric constant of the liquid being measured is a critical factor when considering a radar tank gauging solution.

The 7660 Tactical Fuel Gauge (TFG) is a rugged sensor for measuring pressure and temperature in military and expeditionary collapsible tanks. It provides queried or continuous pressure and temperature measurements of fuel stored in collapsible tanks for accurate and reliable 247 inventory management.

Varec solutions include the latest mobile computing technologies that are suitable for use in harsh environments or hazardous areas, such as an airport flight line or remote fuel terminal. We realize the increasing need to allow your operators to easily capture and enter data anywhere, and not confine them to an office workstation. That's why FuelsManager has been designed to run on mobile platforms for refueling aircraft, from Glycol and GSE fuel tracking at airports to tactical fuels measurement and fuel distribution at military bases worldwide.
