Find the information you need to enhance your propane facility's safety, compliance, and efficiency. Learn more about explosion-proof control systems, automation solutions, and regulatory requirements.
A properly integrated emergency shutdown (ESD) system will automatically close all ISC/ESD valves, stop pumps, and trigger alarms in the event of a pipeline failure. Automated pressure sensing and hydrocarbon leak detection can shut down operations instantly to prevent further gas release.
Hydrocarbon-gas sensors placed at critical points in the facility can automate leak detection. When propane vapor is detected, these sensors trigger alarms and initiate shutdowns, preventing ignition and ensuring safety compliance.
Automated sequencing and interlocking controls ensure that all equipment operates in the correct order, eliminating operator mistakes. Driver attendance monitoring, query buttons, and remote supervision further reduce human error during loading and unloading.
Electronic tank gauging systems with real-time remote access provide accurate tank-level readings and automate overfill prevention. These systems also help with inventory management and operational planning.
ISC (Internal Safety Control) valves typically close within seconds, depending on system configuration. Automated valve actuators ensure rapid closure in emergency scenarios without requiring manual intervention.
A PLC-based terminal management system integrates pump control, valve sequencing, emergency shutdowns, and remote monitoring into a single automated process. This ensures seamless operations, improved efficiency, and enhanced safety compliance.
Proper pump sequencing, vapor-return integration, and real-time pressure monitoring help prevent cavitation. Automated pump-control systems detect unstable conditions and adjust operation to maintain smooth, safe fuel transfer.
A terminal management system with remote access allows operators to monitor tank levels, pump activity, safety alerts, and system performance from anywhere. Cloud-based dashboards and mobile alerts ensure real-time oversight.
Automated valve closure with inactivity detection ensures that ISC valves are not left open. Remote monitoring and interlocking controls provide additional safeguards against unintended valve operation.
Accidents can be prevented through automated emergency shutdowns, real-time gas detection, remote monitoring, and operator training. Integrated PLC controls ensure that every safety system is functioning properly at all times.
A sequenced control system with automated valve switching and pressure sensing ensures smooth, efficient compressor operation. Automated pump-down controls and interlocking safety features prevent system damage and leaks.
Automating a cylinder filling dock involves integrating scale sensors and automatic shutoff systems to ensure consistent, accurate fills while minimizing human intervention.
A propane terminal control system simplifies loading and unloading by sequencing pump operation, monitoring tank levels, automating valves, and integrating remote monitoring for full process oversight.
A custody transfer metering system integrated with PLC automation and terminal software provides real-time, accurate flow measurement. It integrates directly with billing systems and BOL printers to ensure regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
An integrated emergency shutdown system (ESD) will instantly close all ISC/ESD valves, stop pumps, trigger alarms, and send remote notifications to operators, ensuring a rapid response to hazardous conditions. This can be initiated off-site, as well.
