A digital tank gauging system uses radar technology to monitor and control fuel storage tanks. It provides real-time tank level monitoring, inventory calculations, alarm handling and automated reports. The key components include radar level transmitters, temperature transmitters, a field communication unit, and tank inventory management software. The software provides inventory data, calculations, and custody transfer functions to manage fuel storage.
When oil and gas workers open tank hatches to gauge or collect fluid samples on tanks that contain process fluids, they can be exposed to hydrocarbon gases and vapors, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, and fires and explosions.

Practical Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for Engineers and TechniciansLiving Online
This workshop will cover the practical applications of the modern Distributed Control System (DCS). Whilst all control systems are distributed to a certain extent today and there is a definite merging of the concepts of a DCS, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and SCADA and despite the rapid growth in the use of PLC’s and SCADA systems, some of the advantages of a DCS can still be said to be Integrity and Engineering time.
Abnormal Situation Management and Intelligent Alarm Management is a very important DCS issue that provides significant advantages over PLC and SCADA systems.
Few DCSs do justice to the process in terms of controlling for superior performance – most of them merely do the basics and leave the rest to the operators. Operators tend to operate within their comfort zone; they don’t drive the process “like Vettel drives his Renault”. If more than one adverse condition developed at the same time and the system is too basic to act protectively, the operator would probably not be able to react adequately and risk a major deviation.
Not only is the process control functionality normally underdeveloped but on-line process and control system performance evaluation is rarely seen and alarm management is often badly done. Operators consequently have little feedback on their own performance and exceptional adverse conditions are often not handled as well as they should be. This workshop gives suggestions on dealing with these issues.
The losses in process performance due to the inadequately developed control functionality and the operator’s utilisation of the system are invisible in the conventional plant and process performance evaluation and reporting system; that is why it is so hard to make the case for eliminating these losses. Accounting for the invisible losses due to inferior control is not a simple matter, technically and managerially; so it is rarely attempted. A few suggestions are given in dealing with this.
Why are DCS generally so underutilised? Often because the vendor minimises the applications software development costs to be sure of winning the job, or because he does not know enough about the process or if it is a green-field situation, enough could not be known at commissioning time but no allowance was made to add the missing functionality during the ramp-up phase. Often the client does not have the technical skills in-house to realise the desired functionality is missing or to adequately specify the desired functionality.
This workshop examines all these issues and gives suggestions in dealing with them and whilst not being by any means exhaustive provides an excellent starting point for you in working with a DCS.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

24. Radar level transmitter There are no of types of radar transmitters are used according to the application, they are as follows. Pro Parabolic Antenna Gauge. Pro Still-pipe Array Antenna Gauge. Pro Cone Antenna Gauge. Pro Still-pipe Antenna Gauge. Pro Process Seal Antenna Gauge. Pro Rod Antenna Gauge Tank Radar Rex 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 24
25. Radar level transmitter These measure the level either by PULSE or FREQUENCY method The type of gauge will depend on various factors such as. Noozle height. Medium. End connection details. Pressure, Temperature values. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 25
26. Temperature transmitter There is also an temperature transmitter which measure the temperature of the tank. There are 2 provision for this , it may be single spot temp measurment and mulit spot temp measurment . The o/p from this transmitter will be a 4 to 20 ma hart config. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 26
27. Tank side monitoring The main purpose of this tank side monitering is to receive various signals from the radar , temp transmitter…..and give a standard signal to the FCU(field communication unit) 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 27
28. Field communication unit The Field Communication Unit (FCU) is a data concentrator that continuously polls data from field devices such as Radar Tank Gauges, Data Acquisition Units and Remote Display Units and stores them in a buffer memory. Whenever a request for data is received, the FCU can immediately send data from a group of tanks from the updated buffer memory . The FCU acts as a slave on the group bus and as a master on the field bus. The unit has six communication ports. The ports can be individually configured as either group bus ports or as field bus ports according to one of the alternatives below: 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 28
29. Field communication unit An interface board can be connected for each communication port. These boards can be either FCM boards for the TRL/2 Bus or FCI boards forRS-485 communication. Two group bus ports canal so be configured as RS-232 by connecting a jumper connector instead of an FCM or FCI board . As standard the Field Communication Unit is delivered with six FCM boards and two RS-232jumper connectors. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 29
30. Tank gauging HMI HMI plays an important role in tank gauging because all the inventory calculations are seen there.. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 30
31. Field bus modem BENEFITS • Increases the possible distance between a FCU and TankMaster PC • Diagnostic LEDs on front cover • Enables multidrop - one TankMaster can serve many FCUs via the FBM 2180 • Multiple mounting options • Enables FCU redundancy 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 31
32. OVERFILL PROTECTION The measurement of the level for overfill protection is independent of other gauging systems installed on the tank. High and high-high level alarms that can bee seen or heard by the operator controlling the tank transfer, such as audible sirens or horns and visual lights. A device that when activated can automatically trigger a shut down procedure for the process causing the alarm. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 32
33. ore stringent regulations may be required for facilities with: Permeable ground materials that are inside the containment area "Old" tanks that can be more susceptible to corrosion. Tanks near surface water such as rivers, wetlands or lakes 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 33
34. Measuring for Overfill Single point measurement For single point measurement, an instrument is installed at the high and/or high-high level and will sense when the product reaches that level. The most common of which are simple stand alone mechanical switches or electronic tuning fork technology. Single point measurement devices tend to be simple, very reliable, low cost units that can be installed easily 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 34
35. continuous measurement For continuous measurement, a standard level gauge is a common solution. Any of the major gauging technologies can be used, float and tape (mechanical), servo, radar or magnetostrictive technologies. Each provides their own benefits based on the application. Continuous measurement is favored by some over single point measurement. Your operators can check the status of the gauge at any time and the gauge's operation can be monitored for deviation against the primary level device. The main benefit - you know if there is a problem with the gauge before it becomes an overfill problem and your operators do not need to climb a tank to check the operation. 8/12/2009 SARAVANA KUMAR B.T 35
37. Tank Inventory Management Software Tank Master is the powerful Human Machine Interface (HMI) for tank inventory management. It provides inventory and custody transfer functions , configuration, and service and set up for Saab Rosemount’s tank gauging system.
