Automated System for Monitoring the Technical State of Tanks for Storage of Petroleum Products

Abstract

A solution to the problem of monitoring the current state of tanks for storage of petroleum products in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) through the development of an automatic monitoring system is proposed. The problem of assuring safe operation of tanks for storage of petroleum products in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutiya) is formulated. The climate conditions of the republic as well as the peculiarities of the permafrost zone are additional negative factors that complicate this question. Examples of emergency situations with large-scale failures of tanks are presented and the causes and consequences of accident incidents are considered. A description of a proposed solution that comprises a system for automated monitoring of the technical state of tanks, implementation of which will help prevent similar emergencies, is presented.
