Introduction

Ever tried manually tracking how much fuel or liquid a tanker unloaded? It’s like pouring water into a bucket with your eyes closed—messy, prone to errors, and a headache to audit later. Enter Fluidyne’s Tanker Unloading System, designed to make this crucial task automated, accurate, and efficient.

Fluidyne’s Legacy in Fluid Management

Company Overview

Fluidyne Control Systems is a trusted name in the world of precision fluid management. From fuel monitoring to flow metering systems, they deliver innovation backed by years of engineering excellence.

Precision and Automation as Core Values

When it comes to moving liquids—especially costly ones like diesel, petrol, or chemicals—every drop matters. Fluidyne’s systems are engineered to ensure zero guesswork and full accountability.

Understanding the Tanker Unloading System

Key Purpose and Applications

A tanker unloading system allows seamless and metered transfer of fluids from tankers into storage tanks. It ensures precise measurement, eliminates spillage, and keeps real-time records of what was unloaded.

Industries That Rely on These Systems

  • Fuel and petroleum companies

  • Chemical and pharma manufacturers

  • Food and beverage industries

  • Logistics and transportation depots

How the System Works

The process starts when a tanker connects to the unloading line. Once authorized, the pump starts transferring the fluid through a metering system that captures real-time flow, temperature, and pressure data. Everything is logged digitally—no manual notes or estimates.

Core Components of Fluidyne’s Tanker Unloading System

Positive Displacement Flow Meters

Known for their high accuracy, these meters calculate the exact quantity of liquid unloaded, no matter the viscosity or flow rate.

Strainers and Air Eliminators

These remove impurities and air bubbles, ensuring only actual liquid is measured—not froth or vapor.

Control Valves and Actuators

Automatic valves regulate the flow and stop operations instantly in case of faults or completion.

Pump Units

Heavy-duty pumps handle even thick or viscous fluids, making the system versatile.

Smart Metering Technology

High Accuracy in Measurement

With accuracy levels of ±0.1%, Fluidyne’s meters leave no room for error.

Real-time Flow Data Logging

Every transaction is time-stamped, stored, and accessible via web dashboards or local HMI panels.

Automation and Integration

PLC-based Control Panels

These panels act as the brain of the system, ensuring intelligent operation with minimal human intervention.

HMI Displays and Remote Monitoring

Operators can monitor the unloading process live, even from remote control rooms or via mobile apps.

Types of Fluids Handled

Fluidyne systems are compatible with:

  • Fuels: Diesel, Petrol, Kerosene

  • Industrial Fluids: Lubricants, AdBlue, Solvents

  • Food-Grade Liquids: Edible oils, syrups

  • Chemicals: Acids, alcohols, and more

Safety Features Built into the System

Overfill Protection

Sensors in the storage tank stop the flow if levels go beyond a set limit.

Pressure and Leak Detection Sensors

Real-time alarms alert the user to any anomalies in pressure or signs of leaks.

Emergency Shutoff Controls

One-push emergency stops shut the system down immediately if needed.
