Seeking advice on the renovation of internal floating roof tanks
Thread Content
Our company’s original storage tanks, which were designed for internal floating roof use, are now to be used for commercial purposes. There are no gauging pipes installed. I would like to ask the experts: how should these tanks be modified? Which measurement method is better?

Adding an automatic level sensor or a level gauge that can indicate the liquid level will work.
For the existing internal floating roof storage tanks, use measuring pipes with diameters of DN150 and DN100. Automatic level measurement can be achieved using radar level gauges; it is advisable to use remote-operable level gauges for easier control. If conditions permit, a high and low level alarm system can also be installed to keep track of the tank’s operating status at any time.
The analysis on the 4th floor is quite thorough, but it is still recommended that the owner hire a professional design firm to handle this. Without proper drawings for these renovations, it will be very troublesome to deal with any issues in the future, unless no one decides to inspect them. Additionally, this is also done for safety reasons.
