Fluid detection system for a plurality of tanks

摘要

A system for continuous measurement of multiple fluids in multiple tanks and computation of physical properties for each of the multiple fluids continuously. The system can use a plurality of probes, a plurality of client devices, a master control processor, and a master control data storage. The master control data storage can have computer instructions for receiving data from the plurality of probes, receiving data from other detection devices associated with the fluid in each tank, mapping collected data to a relational database, and comparing mapped data to stored values associated with prioritized alarm functions. The master control data storage can also have computer instructions for generating alarms to both a display connected with the master control processor and to the plurality of client devices using a network, generating reports associated with each generated alarm, generating an alarm log, and generating a history of actions taken by a user.

1. A system for continuous measurement of multiple fluids in multiple tanks and computation of physical properties for each of the multiple fluids continuously, the system comprising:
a. a plurality of probes in communication with a network, each probe comprising:
(i) a probe computer processor in communication with a probe data storage in a processor housing, wherein the probe computer processor comprises a temperature sensor simulation circuit with a temperature reference value in the probe data storage and a pressure transducer simulation circuit in the probe computer processor with a pressure reference value in the probe data storage, the temperature sensor simulation circuit and the pressure transducer simulation circuit for calibrating the probe computer processor for measuring temperature or pressure, and wherein the probe data storage comprises computer instructions to instruct the probe computer processor to perform adaptive measurement for at least one of: synchronized measurement of fluid in static operation and in dynamic operation and non-synchronized measurement of the fluid in static operation and dynamic operation;(ii) a plurality of pressure transducers electrically connected to the probe computer processor; and(iii) a plurality of temperature sensors electrically connected to the probe computer processor for measurement of the fluid in the tank; b. at least one client device in communication with the network; c. a master control computer processor in communication with the network and with a master control data storage, the master control data storage with a non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer instructions stored therein for causing the master control computer processor to:
(i) instruct the master control computer processor to receive data from the plurality of probes;(ii) instruct the master control computer processor to receive data from other detection devices associated with the fluid in each tank;(iii) instruct the master control computer processor to map collected data to a relational database in the master control data storage;(iv) instruct the master control computer processor to compare the mapped collected data to stored values in the master control data storage, wherein each stored value is associated with an alarm function, each alarm function prioritized by safety considerations input by a user;(v) instruct the master control computer processor to generate and send alarms to a display connected to the master control computer processor and a plurality of client devices;(vi) instruct the master control computer processor to generate reports associated with the generated alarm, in a plurality of formats, simultaneously;(vii) instruct the master control computer processor to generate an alarm log; and(viii) instruct the master control computer processor to generate a history of actions taken by the user to any component or operating parameter of the system.
