  • Corrosion monitor
    Patent number: 11965818
    Abstract: A system for monitoring an underground propane tank, comprising a controller; a moisture sensor coupled in communication with the controller, wherein the controller is configured to measure a moisture associated with the tank; a voltage probe coupled in communication with the controller, wherein voltage probe is adapted to be disposed at least partially underground, and wherein the controller is configured to measure a potential difference between the tank and soil surrounding the tank, when the moisture associated with the tank is measured to be above a predetermined threshold; and an anode sensor coupled to an anode of the tank and coupled in communication with the controller, wherein the controller is configured to monitor the anode using the anode sensor.

  • Sensor arrangements, sensor systems, and methods for determining height of liquids in tanks
    Patent number: 11946790
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for measuring liquid height in a tank can include a housing, a transducer, and a couplant. The housing can have an interior and an aperture, the aperture placing the interior of the housing in communication with the environment external to the housing. The transducer can be seated within the aperture. The couplant can be mechanically connected to the transducer and can have a compressible couplant body. The couplant body can extend between the transducer and the external environment for transmitting an acoustic pulse from the transducer to a tank bottom for measuring height of a liquid overlaying the transducer.

  • Production of low pour, low sulfur fuel oils
    Patent number: 4138227
    Abstract: Low pour, low sulfur fuel oils are prepared by thermally cracking a high sulfur, high pour point atmospheric residuum and blending the product with a high wax, low sulfur, high pour point atmospheric residuum. The pour point may be lowered further by the addition of a pour point depressant.
