Abstract-It is important to measure the oil inventory exactly for business decision. But several conventional methods are not accurate enough to satisfy oil wholesalers. To overcome this problem, IT technique and Aspen plus simulator were investigated for application. Supersonic wave device and chemical process simulator were applied to enhance the oil volume measuring system.  Level error down from 1.2% to 0.15% and standard temp volume concept was introduced to reflect the temperature dependency on oil volume. The developed system from this research will drastically reduce the oil inventory error.

 

Key words- level instrument; oil tank; aspen plus; supersonic waves; standard volume
