US fluid handling solutions company OPW has bought VisiLevel, a fluid gauging system from UK company MechTronic.
VisiLevel is ATEX and IECEx approved and can accurately identify the contents of a tanker by measuring the volume, temperature, density and colour. When used in conjunction with a stock, fleet and order management system like StockSmart, it can provide a complete live audit trail of all product movements.
OPW will now manufacture the patented VisiLevel system at its facility in Nieuw-Vennep, the Netherlands, to further expand its fluid transfer product and technology offerings to international customers.
‘VisiLevel works to help prevent fuel theft and contamination, as well as improve driver safety,’ says Edwin Smit, managing director for OPW’s EMEA Fluid Transfer Group, adding: ‘VisiLevel further serves OPW’s mission to deliver solutions that help protect people and the environment.”
