SELMA implements the design, development and installation of new building and retrofit Tank Gauging Systems for all type of ships, Tankers, Bulk Carriers & Container vessels.

  • Cargo Oil Tanks
  • Water Ballast Tanks
  • Draught (Fwd / Aft / MidP&S)
  • Heavy Fuel Oil Tanks
  • Diesel Oil Tanks
  • Fresh Water Tanks

SELMA Integrated Tank Level Gauging System relies on modern PLC Platforms and are configured according to ship specific tank gauging specifications and requirements (turn-key solutions).

SELMA Tank Level Gauging System is based on Hydrostatic Level Pressure Transmission technology designed especially for long lasting operation.

Hydrostatic Level Pressure Transmitters (Ballast Tanks / Draft)

SELMA Level Pressure Transmitters are performing tank gauging by hydrostatic pressure that is applied on the transmitter. The direct conversion of the pressure into electrical signal is achieved by a minute deformation of the sensor diaphragm with applied pressure which changes the electrical resistance.

 

The transmitters are based on rugged and reliable capacitive ceramic sensors qualified for measuring small filling heights with accuracy. Thanks to different housing materials in combination with several mounting types the transmitter covers a lot of applications in shipbuilding.

SELMA MPU unit

(Main Processing Unit) comprising powerful and robust industrial PLC controllers and equipment, is responsible for collecting and processing all the sensor signals and system data through the Remote I/O stations. All the data from the MPU are transferred and communicated to the new Panel PC Workstation for display, control and monitoring purposes, as well as for further post-processing.

The MPU also provides open-standard data outputs for interfacing with the vessel’s Alarm and Monitoring System (AMS) as well as with the Load computer. Furthermore, the MPU has embedded extensive self-diagnostic functions, fully monitoring the health and status of the system and its sensors.

Guided Radar Transmitters (Cargo Oil Tanks)

Radar High Frequency microwave pulses are applied and guided along the probe, where the pulses are reflected on the surface and received by the processor module.
