“TMS Levelcom has been in business for more than 16 years and has successfully supplied their sensors on many ships and rigs, both commercial and military.

Their sensors are robust and  extremely accurate. They are the best I’ve used over the past 32 years of building ballast control  systems. ”

“Very solid ballast automation system.”

The LevelCom 100 utilizes pulsed pneumatic (bubbler) depth sensing technology and resolves the problems long associated with continuous flow bubblers.  The LevelCom 100 is engineered to meet the demands of offshore marine applications and environments by incorporating computer technology with state of the art features into a microprocessor-based tank level indicating ballast control system.   The LC-100 combines automatic leak and plugged line detection with automatic “hardware zero” that compensates for pressure differentials.  If an abnormal condition is detected, the LC-100 will display the appropriate error message on the digital display and/or provide the data on the communication bus to alert the operator.

Levelcom LC-100 TLI’s are an integral part of the tank gauging systems installed on many offshore rigs both semi-submersible and jack up, supply vessels, ships and barges.    The LC-100 represents significant cost savings over most other type of  tank level indicator when replacing or upgrading ballast controls systems.   In bulkhead tanks LC-100′s maintain system integrity as the tank shape does not impact the LC-100 and its ability to make accurate readings.  The automatic specific gravity option is primarily to indicate level on mud tanks.

Offshore applications include:

• Semi Submersible Drilling Rigs – Rig Stability Monitoring System
• Jack Up Rigs – Preload System
• Supply Vessels – Mud Tanks, Fuels, Additives

Depending of the system configuration and the type of tank, the Levelcoms can be programmed to give various alarm signals, such as tank high or low or can be programmed for engineers alarms to alert the operator of a critical conditions.  The large local display shows a 100 section bar graph to indicate tank level and the numeric display shows contents in digital format in either English or Metric units.

LevelComs configured with MODBUS or Profibus options can display the tank level information, alarms and controls on a monitor, HMI or Touch Screen in the control room or other onboard location.
