Overfill Prevention

Overfill prevention units for bottom-loading tank trucks are utilized for discharging electrostatic electricity as well as controlling intrinsically safe the linked level sensors installed in the tank trucks to control the fill level.

Overfill Prevention - Type EUS-1

The Overfill Prevention Control Device type EUS-1 is intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of zone 1 and supplies the intrinsically safe energy for the linked level sensors, which are installed on the tank truck (zone 0).

During loading, the level sensors on the tank truck side (one sensor per tank compartment) are connected to the control device at the filling gantry via a standard 10-pole plug and socket connector. The level sensors are positioned in such a way that they trigger the shut-off of the product flow for all compartments via the stationary gantry controller in time to prevent an overfilling.
