KROHNE Tank Inventory and Management System

(TIM) is a powerful and intelligent control system
designed for tank monitoring and control. It can be
employed as a single tank solution, or as part of a
comprehensive multi-tank farm including loading
and offloading.

The system consists of precision level meters (BM

70A Level Radar or its high-precision pendent, the
BM 70P and also the BM 100A TDR level meter or
the BM 100AP high-precision variant). Together with
all auxiliaries such as temperature and pressure
gauges, overfill switches, dry-run protection switches
and communications.

The heart of the system is the SCADA (Supervisory

Control and Data Acquisition) system that resides
on one or more industrial PC’s with SCADD and CM
(Floating Roof Calculation Module) Software. These
industrial PC’s function as the Human machine In-
terface (HMI) for one or more tank measurement
systems.

KROHNE Oil and Gas
The year 2001: For over 10 years, KROHNE had been
supplying flowmeters and level gauges to the Oil
and Gas industry. Following the introduction and
successful application of high-precision level gauges
such as the BM 70P and the unique ultrasonic
5-beam custody-transfer flowmeter ALTOSONIC V, it
was clear that demand was so high that a dedica-
ted company was needed to handle this industry.
We relieved selected experts of all their duties so
that they could concentrate solely on Oil and Gas.

KROHNE Oil and Gas is now a 2-year old company

with a 10-year tradition. The staff grew as experts
from petrochemical companies, engineering compa-
nies, and instrument manufacturers were recruited,
all with decades of hands-on experience on oil rigs,
in oil field and in refineries.

Experts at your side

At our site in the Netherlands, close to Rotterdam,
we brought all these experts together in their own
buildings that house the following departments:

• Consultation and Planning

• Engineering
• Development
• Manufacturing
• Testing
• Software
• Pre-Installation
• Quality Control

While for the major oil-producing regions and coun-

tries we have local staff to look after the needs of
our customers on site.

In short, from start to finish you’ll find experts at

your side.
