Overfill Detection and Protection

Safety standard IEC 61508 and ANSI/ISA S84.01 in the U.S., stipulate that safe operations should be achieved through a series of protection layers. Use our solutions to apply IEC 61508 and IEC 615111 to hydrocarbon storage sites. Also complying to API recommended practice 2350 is becoming increasingly critical to prevent overfills in tank farms.

Taking a holistic approach to industrial safety means comprehensive, integrated and scalable solutions for your terminal. Our integrated safety solutions unifies all the plant protection layers to achieve the highest Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and solutions compliant with all major international standards.

Honeywell safety solutions in terminals and tank farms can be broadly categorized as:

  1. Overfill Prevention Systems – SIL 2 & 3 certified Honeywell SmartRadar FlexLine Gauge, SIL 2 & 3 certified Honeywell Servo ATG/XTG Gauge, SIL compliant Honeywell Alarm Scout Level Switches and SIL 2&3 ready Honeywell SmartLine GWR Level Transmitters
  2. SIL Certified Safety Control System – Honeywell HC900 Process and Safety Systems, Honeywell SIL3 PLC Safety Manager
  3. Floating Roof Monitoring Systems

Tank Farm Safety Alarm Management: programmable alarms to watch product movements more closely, movement alarm to monitor unexpected product movements, and leak alarms.

SmartRadar FlexLine: a precision radar gauge for custody transfer and inventory control tank gauging.

Servo ATG/XTG: precision servo tank gauges with extreme level measurement accuracy, and capability of density and water level sensing.

SmartLine Guided Wave Radar: dedicated to smaller additive and holding tanks. With reliable performance and flexible communication options, it is a good choice for overfill protection, inventory control, and process control.

AlarmScout 910, 961 and 962 series are used to detect high or low level switch points in a broad range of viscous to light products. Switch points can be used for safety functions such as alarm or emergency shutdown. The AlarmScout A15 series is used to detect high or low level switch points in a broad range of products or internal/ external floating roof applications.

All the instruments above can be used in SIL 2 loops. The instrument offering is complemented by controller and software offering.

The offered instruments use a range of physical phenomena to provide reliable and accurate level detection and measurement. This ranges from radar signal (SmartRadar FlexLine), microvave pulses (Guided Wave Radar), ultrasound (AlarmScout 910, 961 and 962) to mechanical sensing (AlarmScout A15).

Honeywell dedicated offering helps terminal owners operate their terminals safely, and comply with regulatory and environmental standards. These products not only enable a secure and safe environment for employees, but also help reduce plant downtime and improve efficiency.
