In the time of globalization, the high demand of the industrial and medical gasses has put a severe pressure on the gas suppliers to deliver liquid gasses at the right time. If cryogenic liquids i.e. nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, helium, argon, hydrogen, xenon, neon, krypton etc. are not delivered at the right time, not only the clients’ business gets disrupted but their sustainability gets affected. So, reordering gas at the right time is important for the operational status of the consumers and directly impacts their sustainability.
In the financially tight times, it is also imperative to conduct business in a cost-effective way. The profit margin being narrow, demands the gas suppliers to perform all of its business operations with the limited budgets. In such a scenario, it becomes crucial to adopt solutions that manage the operations of a business in a way that maximum money is saved. There is no point adding extra charges in the way of the business growth.
Industrial gas organizations deliver cryogenic liquid gas to its clients in bulk via cylinders or tankers. If it’s a gas distributor, then they store gas in pressurized liquid gas tanks for their further distribution. The tankers are one of the biggest investments of a gas company, and so it becomes critical to use these companies’ assets in the best way possible. It is imperative that these assets do not go underutilized.
Let me point out what the problem is! See, the manual reading protocol of recording tank content is a hampered and erroneous process as the labor has to monitor the gas stored in the tankers number of times in a day. Moreover, to maintain this process, there is a need for regular training and assessment.
Here we can clearly see three things: One, the procedure is taking more than the normal time; two, the gas company has to maintain and feed money to the manpower; and three, the manual processes give rise to human errors that were made at the time of reading and writing data.
Wait! The picture is much aggravated further. The manual-laborious management brings in flush of emergency calls to the gas company for the immediate delivery of cryogenic liquid cylinders. The delivery takes a lot of time to be completed, and if the gas is unavailable, then the revenue surely gets negatively affected. Moreover, if the gas delivery takes place, it doesn’t come alone but with additional charges due to its quick individual transportation.
The labor uses outdated systems that fail in offering the cryogenic liquid storage tank suppliers’ up-to-date data. Due to this, the gas company becomes incapable to discern the certainty that there is a leakage possibility.
The need of the hour is to manage cryogenic liquid storage tank in a way so as to save as many resources as possible. In this case, these valuable resources being time and money, liquid gas monitoring solutions are a must for saving them!
The liquid gas monitoring system uses sensing devices and telemetry technology to provide high value to the gas liquid companies. It gives the enterprises ability to view the current status of their products from any location, so this way the time and money used for traveling is saved. Its machine-to-machine data acquisition capability senses and measures consumption and transmits data to a remote location.
Liquid gas monitors measure actual cryogenic gas with accuracy as it senses, transmit, collect and processes data in real time from sensors via telemetry. Remote telemetry systems monitor tank pressure and level cost-effectively. It predicts expected use for given cryogenic tank.
The rich, dynamic cloud-based reports are all day and night accessible to the customers and the companies. This saves a lot of time for decision making, historical comparison and future gas forecasting and predicting. Moreover, rule-based alerts and its notification engine make sure that the consumers and industrial gas transporters receive possible leak information. Eliminating leakage is a way of saving ample amount of money of the gas company.
Reordered alerts help scheduled just in time deliveries to happen. Timely deliveries not only eliminate emergency deliveries at odd timings but also optimize and reduce delivery costs by combining multiple deliveries in one truck run.
Towards the end, I would say that liquid gas monitoring solutions expose your gas company to the right sets of tools, technology, systems and devices that manage the delivery of large cryogenic liquid storage tank and maintains the sustainability of your customers. The solutions are a real help for the gas firms to optimize 24×7 monitoring and generate cloud based reports. These solutions make the gas suppliers aware of the customers’ gas liquid requirement even before they come to know it. The operations are automated and eliminate consumption of precious time and money. The gas company’s budgets stop getting affected as the scheduled deliveries never call for extra expenditures for transporting.
