Industrial Automation & Engineering

Control Valves – Used to regulate fluid flow in fuel systems.

Pressure Control – Devices or systems that maintain desired pressure levels in pipelines or tanks.

Pressure Reducing Valves – Regulate pressure to safe, usable levels within the system.

Flow – Flow meters or devices to monitor and control fuel flow.

Level – Instruments to measure and control liquid levels in tanks.

Pressure – Gauges and transmitters for measuring fuel system pressure.

Compensation Venturis – Devices used to regulate and stabilize flow or pressure in fluid systems, often for measurement or control.

Deadman – Safety control systems (e.g., deadman switches or valves) that automatically shut down operations if manual control is lost.

Pantographs – Used for flexible connections in fuel loading systems, especially where automated or semi-automated alignment is needed.

Floats – Typically used in level measurement systems within tanks to monitor liquid fuel levels.

Flow Meters – Devices to measure the volume or rate of fuel flow.

Accumulators – Used in hydraulic or pneumatic systems to store energy or dampen pressure fluctuations.

· Submersible Pumps – Used for pumping fuel from underground tanks or deep sumps, often in automation systems.

·  Centrifugal Pumps – Common in fuel transfer and circulation systems, typically part of automated fluid handling.

·  ANSI – Refers to pumps that meet American National Standards Institute specs, commonly used in industrial fuel systems.

·  API 610 – A standard for centrifugal pumps in petroleum, petrochemical, and gas industries (relevant to engineering and compliance).\

·  Flame Arresters – Prevent flame propagation in fuel tanks or vent lines; a key safety component.

·  Breather Valves – Allow controlled airflow in/out of tanks to maintain safe pressure levels.

·  Pressure Relief Valves – Protect tanks from over-pressurization by releasing excess pressure.

·  Measurement Hatches – Provide access for manual or automated measurement of tank contents (level, temperature, etc.).

·  Transmitters and Meters – Devices for sensing and measuring process variables (e.g., flow, pressure, temperature).

·  Flow / Temperature / Pressure / Level – Core process measurements in automation and control systems.

·  Automation – General term encompassing control systems and integration.

·  PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) – Control units used to automate industrial processes.

·  HMI (Human-Machine Interface) – Interfaces that allow operators to interact with PLCs and automation systems.
