Operating levels and response times

Set tank operating limits using the time your people and systems actually need to respond. We apply practical tank gauging knowledge to overfill assessments.

+ See how we deliver it

The operating-level sequence should be validated against filling rate, alarm response and shutdown performance. Conservative assumptions are necessary where valve closing times or reduced-flow characteristics are unproven.

Safety integration

AOPS / ESD interfaces

Make protective actions predictable. We help define and test how alarms, valves and shutdown systems interact under real transfer conditions.

+ See how we deliver it

Automatic overfill prevention interfaces may initiate valve movement or pump shutdown. Cause-and-effect, fail-safe position, power availability and proof testing must be established by the project safety design.

Safety PLC integration

Bridge the gap between safety logic and field equipment. We coordinate I/O, cause-and-effect and test requirements so the complete function can be verified.

+ See how we deliver it

Safety-system engineering requires a defined safety requirements specification, validated cause-and-effect logic, proof-test strategy and independent functional-safety verification where applicable.

Validation

FAT, SAT and proof testing

Find defects before they become operational problems. We structure testing around the required functions, interfaces and evidence needed at handover.

+ See how we deliver it

Project-specific engineering addresses equipment selection, installation constraints, instrument interfaces, commissioning checks, documentation and ongoing maintenance requirements. Technical scope is confirmed against site conditions and applicable standards.

Engineering-led, vendor-aware integration

Equipment and platform references describe technologies TGS works with or can assess for integration; they are not claims of manufacturer authorisation, endorsement or certification. Final product suitability, approvals and interfaces are confirmed for each project.

Tank overfill protection and API 2350

API 2350 and alarm setpoints

Support for maximum working level, high-level and high-high-level alarm reviews, response-time considerations and instrument integration in bulk liquid storage terminals.

AOPS, ESD and safety interfaces

Independent level instruments, automatic overfill prevention system (AOPS) interfaces, emergency shutdown (ESD), motor-operated valves and PLC alarm or trip integration. Safety integrity requirements must be established by the project safety assessment.
