JCE Level Gauging System: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency for Gas Bottling Leaders
Designing a custom level gauging system to enhance safety, accuracy, and operational efficiency at a gas bottling plant.
JCE designed and implemented a state-of-the-art level gauging and alarm system for the UK's leading bottled gas supplier, enhancing safety, efficiency, and operational capabilities at their gas bottling plant. The innovative solution addressed key challenges, such as modernizing outdated equipment and ensuring continuous operation, resulting in significant improvements in safety and efficiencys.
JCE was awarded a contract by UK’s leading bottled gas supplier in the UK, to design, build, supply, install, and commission a turnkey level gauging and alarm system for their gas bottling plant in England. The system provides a real-time monitoring of gas levels in five storage vessels, displaying readings in multiple locations onsite, and capable of transmitted data to the head office via GSM (global system for communications). This improved safety, efficiency, and operational capabilities.
Challenges:
- The client’s gas level gauging equipment was in need of modernising
- The client needed a way to maintain continuous operation during system installation and testing
- The client required for a secure way of ensuring accurate LPG levels were communicated to all concerned parties
- The solution had to be future proof for the level gauging of LPG gas
Solutions:
JCE designed and installed a level gauging and alarm system featuring:
-
- Level sensors for each storage vessel
- Local displays in key locations (pump house, security office, maintenance office)
- GSM connectivity for transmitting data to the head office
- Emergency shut-down features
- Solenoid isolation valves for safe and efficient tank transfer
Results:
- Improved Safety:Â The system included emergency shut-down features minimising downtime
- Enhanced Efficiency:Â Real-time level monitoring facilitated optimal planning for gas bottling and tanker operations, allowing for simultaneous transfer of LPG
- Increased Operational Capabilities:Â Independent tank isolation enabled continued operation during maintenance and re-filling of spare tanks
- Savings: Reduced downtime and improved efficiency translated to significant savings
Testimonial
I would like the thank all the JCE staff for their hard work and professionalism during the recent Installation of our LPG level Gauging & Overfill Protection System.
JCE’s aftercare has been second to none and will always aim to assist as best as possible.
The installation of the HLA System has proved that the equipment was vital in assisting with the Management of Process Safety, ensuring that we have adequate protection.
JCE have also helped out recently with manufacturing some ATEX Ex d Enclosures that were proving difficult to source, again the whole process was easy from initial contact to delivery.
I would recommend that anyone should contact JCE with any queries relating to anything ATEX and Safe Area Electrical Control System.
