1.
Marine vessels using 'high' level alarms (world regulations
US coastguard).
Marine tankers carrying fuels, oils and chemicals cannot
enter American waters under the auspices of the US Coastguard
unless the tanker is fitted with High level checkable level
sensing systems. Cynergy3 are world leaders in
the manufacture of High-level manual check level switches.
2.
Level alarms and pump control within the marine environment.
Level switches operating High level and low level alarms
are used extensively in the marine industry to take care
of all the various tank systems aboard a ship from the bilge's
to the heavy fuel oil storage tanks, looking after the ships
personnel & the ships tank outlets. Preventing spillage
into the sea.
3.
Interfacing liquid detection.
Any area where oils and fuels exist will always be subject
to spills and contamination. In a very small way you will
have seen an example of this if you have ever washed your
bicycle. The water often carries oil from the chain and
other areas away onto the ground, the colour haze you see
on the surface of the water is the oil film. Imagine if
this were to be allowed to happen on a large scale, rainwater
would wash the fuel or oil into the soil or ground water
system. Sites at risk to such contamination are normally
designed with rainwater 'run off' channels and storage tanks
where the water & fuels etc. are collected. These storage
tanks are called interceptors it is here that the liquids
coming in are allowed to settle, because water is heavier
than the oils and fuels the water sinks, leaving the oils
and fuels floating on top. These interceptors are normally
fitted with level control device's which sense the interface
between the water and the fuel, in this way the levels of
water and the fuel layer can be controlled. Preventing the
fuels and oils from contaminating the soil and ground water
system.
