Atmospheric Bulk Liquid & Crude Storage Tanks: Telemetry Ingestion, Physics AI & Reliability Architecture

Optruss connects non-intrusively using read-only industrial protocols including OPC-UA, Modbus-TCP, Profinet, and MQTT Sparkplug B. Telemetry from existing instruments—monitoring Multi-spot average temperature RTD sensor tree across tank liquid height, High-precision servo or radar tank gauging (custody transfer accuracy ±1 mm), Acoustic emission perimeter sensors for bottom plate micro-leakage detection—is streamed across hardware-enforced unidirectional data diodes into sovereign edge enclaves. High-frequency vibration and dynamic pressure are sampled at up to 102.4 kHz to capture micro-spalling and transient acoustics without injecting latency into DCS control loops.

Hydrostatic tank settlement vector modeling combined with acoustic bottom emission analysis separating floor leaks from background filling noise. By fusing mechanical first principles (affinity laws, thermodynamics, and rotor dynamics) with deep neural networks, Optruss eliminates false positive trips common to purely statistical anomaly detection. The system provides an early warning horizon of 60 Days Warning, predicting root causes such as Floor plate soil-side corrosion thinning leading to uncontained environmental leakage, Floating roof rim seal gap wear, secondary vapor loss, and explosive rim fires before mechanical damage propagates.

Optruss features pre-configured kinematic signatures, vibration tolerance envelopes (API 650 / API 653 / NFPA 30), and thermal failure models for leading global manufacturers including McDermott (CB&I), Matrix Service Company, HMT Tank, Motherwell Bridge. Integration is vendor-agnostic and does not require proprietary OEM software gateways, allowing unified fleet-wide condition monitoring across mixed-vendor operating plants.

This telemetry model is deployed across heavy continuous process facilities in Crude Oil Tank Farms, Strategic Petroleum Reserves, Petrochemical Marine Terminals, Municipal Water Reservoirs. Field deployments validate an average +48% MTBF MTBF extension, Zero catastrophic tank bottom breaches and 100% compliance with API 653 inspection interval extensions., and substantial reduction in unplanned maintenance costs. Critical alerts trigger automated CMMS work orders with OEM spare parts reservation.
