Remote Monitoring of Fluid Storage Tanks at Watervliet Arsenal, New York

Abstract

To expedite monitoring of the widely dispersed storage tanks at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA), this study proposed to automate tank-level monitors at Watervliet Arsenal, New York, and designed and installed a system to: (1) Monitor the installation's widely dispersed tanks; (2) Alert the Compliance Officer when a leak or overflow occurs; and (3) Provide a basis for an optimized, cost effective method to schedule waste removal from hazardous materials storage tanks, and to refill fuel tanks with minimal risk of leaks and spillage.
