BULK STORAGE TANK MONITORING INCLUDING EVAPORATIVE LOSS ASSESSMENT

摘要

A method of storage tank monitoring including calculating liquid inventory within the storage tank. Real-time parameters associated with evaporative loss of a liquid stored within the storage tank are determined to produce input data. The real-time parameters include at least one condition within the storage tank and at least one environmental condition. Evaporative loss is automatically calculated with an inventory calculation algorithm using the input data and at least one known physical property of the liquid in the storage tank.
