2 Introduction Revised June-2019

1.2 Product Overview

The Production Manager Tank Manager (PMTM) program or simply
Tank Manager is designed to function either as a stand-alone product or

as part of Remote Automation Solutions’ SmartProcess

™

Oil and Gas
Application suite. Tank Manager uses a level-based measurement to
manage volumetric inventory, calculate well head production, and
measure truck-hauled volumes. It calculates net standard volume (NSV)
for the hauled hydrocarbon fluid using API Chapter 11, 2004
Calculations (11.1.6.1 and 11.1.6.2) for crude oil. The Production
Manager Tank Manager also includes options for API Chapter 18.2
(2016) compliant custody transfer methodology and calculations.

The program provides SCADA-friendly reporting to document hauling
events, and hosts an HMI interface for truck drivers. The program
supports both metered and level-based hauling measurement, applying
NSV correction to the primary measurement. It provides safety/control
interlocks to automate loading valves or pumps.

The program can calculate inferred production during hauling, provide

“seal on” and “seal off” tracking, and display a variety of tank

production statistics in user-friendly displays.
A version of the Tank Manager program is available with a built-in

simulator for manipulating tank levels, meter rates, and conducting a
haul. This version is intended only for labs or testing, and is not
applicable in a field installation.

Caution

All the versions of Tank Manager include a watchdog counter that
can be used to validate the execution of the program logic. This is a
parameter which continuously increments (1 count per second) while
the program is running. If the value of the parameter does not
change, then the program is not executing logic.

You can monitor this parameter using an external system, such as a
SCADA host system, or an FST within the device, to validate
operation. For the ROC800, this is Point Type 197, Parameter 125. For
the FB107, this is Point Type 179, Parameter 125. For more
information, see the definition for this parameter in Chapter 4.

1.2.1 Definition of Terms

The business of tank management and hauling has its own vocabulary.
Following are terms frequently used in hauling, which appear in the
Tank Manager application.

Term

Definition

API Chapter 11.1.6.1 and 2

The standard for calculating crude oil
measurement. Both the Tank Manager
application and the 800L programs use the
2004 version of these calculations.

Tank Manager User Manual (for ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)

Revised June-2019 Introduction 3

Term

Definition

API Chapter 18.2

The standard used to in part to determine the
program behavior for hauls from the load-out
terminals. The full title of the standard is
Custody Transfer of Crude Oil from Lease
Tanks using Alternative Measurement
Methods.

Average CTL of Base ALT

Correction factor of density recorded at time of
“Grind” to standard temperature.

Average CTL of Observed
Base

Correction factor of fluid temperature
compared to standard temperature.

Base Conditions

The standard temperature and pressure
values defined in the contract, which are
typically 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.73
PSIA (also as defined by API).

Basic Sediment and
Water (BS&W)

The non-oil components in a tank, which tends
to be a residual, typically defined as a
percentage (%) of volume.

Closeout

The process of final verification by the truck
driver of the information entered and/or
recorded during the truck haul, which becomes
the recorded haul log audit trail.

Correction for the effect
of Temperature on Liquid
(CTL)

The average of the temperature measured,
compared to the standard temperature.

Correction for the effect
of Temperature on Steel
(CTS)

A correction routine used to compensate for
the expansion of the tank shell material (and
therefore the tank volume), due to the effect of
temperature.

Divert Valve

A 3-way valve with 1 inlet, and 2 outlets. Used
commonly in LACT measurement, if the
sediment and water percentage for a fluid
being transferred exceeds the required
tolerance, the divert valve is activated, and
transfers oil back to a tank.

Equalized Tanks

A group of identically sized tanks for a single
phase liquid application with a common level
measurement used to handle larger capacities.

Flow/Tank Volume
Reconciliation

Specific to the Tank Manager application, this
is the ability to provide and report dual,
independent measurements (flow and tank
volume) of haul events. This process provides
a basis for verification when self-proving of
flow custody transfer is not available.

Gas/Liquids Ratio (GLR)

A method to estimate liquid production rate,
based on measured gas production rate.

Gauging; Gauging the
Tank

The manual or automated process to measure
the current level in the tank.

Grind; Grinding the Tank

The manual measurement technique for
determining the percentage (%) of BS&W in a
tank, as well as the density measurement. This
process requires a recorded temperature of
sample.

Tank Manager User Manual (for ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)

4 Introduction Revised June-2019

Term

Definition

Gross Volume

The total volume of the liquid in the tank at
current ambient and fluid temperature.

Inferred Production

A method for estimating production flow into a
tank during a hauling event when a direct
measurement (such as using GLR) is not
available.

Interface

The intermediate level measurement at the
separation point between oil and water in the
tank.

Leased Automatic
Custody Transfer (LACT)

An automated system for measuring,
sampling, and transferring oil from a lease
location into a pipeline.

Merchantable

Refers to the suitability of oil for purchase or
sale. Oil which has unsuitable characteristics
(such as high sediment and water content or
high amounts of H2S) is said to be non­merchantable.

Net Standard Volume
(NSV)

The corrected volume of oil at Base
Conditions, less BS&W volume, using the API
Chapter 11 standard.

Preset

A predefined volume of liquid for the truck
haul.

Seal Off/Seal On Tags

A single-use, metal, pre-stamped, numerical
tag connected to the block valve to retain an
audit trail of hauling events. The tag number is
recorded and removed as a Seal-Off Tag at
the beginning of the haul, and a new tag
number is recorded and installed as a Seal-On
Tag at closeout.

Shrinkage

The difference between the maximum volume
(recorded prior to a haul event) and the
volume at the start of the haul process
(recorded on per-haul event basis). Causes of
shrinkage can include gas vaporing or tank
waves.

Strapping

Also known as tank calibration, tank strapping
is the ability to convert a tank level value (fluid
height) to an associated volume.

Tank Aggregate

A group of tanks managing the production of
water and/or oil produced from one or several
wells.

Tank Instance

Specific to the Tank Manager application, this
term defines the number of physical tanks
and/or groups of tanks. For example, three
equalized tanks count as a single Tank
Instance, while an aggregate of three tanks
being managed independently as well as a
collective group, count as four Tank Instances.

Tank Manager User Manual (for ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)

Revised June-2019 Introduction 5

Term

Definition

Tank Strapping

Volumetric equivalent of measured level,
based on the cross-sectional dimensions of a
tank at different levels. Used for non-cylindrical
tanks or where the weight of the liquid causes
deflection of the tank sides.

Tank Transfer

A reportable movement of liquid between
tanks.

Truck Haul

The custody transfer event where the liquids
are loaded onto a truck.

Turndown

When a haul from a tank is started, but is
unable to complete for reasons such as
equipment failure or non-merchantable oil.
The rejected haul is said to be “turned down”.

Unitized Tanks

A predefined/pre-assigned tank piped from the
well(s) and separation train.

1.3.1 License Key

License keys, when matched with valid license codes, grant access to
applications such as the Tank Manager program.

For ROC800, the term “license key” refers to the physical piece of
hardware that can contain up to seven different licenses (refer to
Figure 1-1). Each ROC800 can have none, one, or two license keys
installed. If you remove a license key after enabling an application, the
firmware disables the task from running. This prevents unauthorized
execution of protected applications in a ROC800.

Figure 1-1. License Key

Note: Each PMTM license supports up to 8 tanks and 4 wells.

Licenses are delivered on a standard ROC800 license key.
Consult with your Remote Automation Solutions sales
representative to obtain the appropriate number of licenses for
your application.

2.1 Installing the License Key

The Tank Manager application requires a license to function. This
section provides instructions for installing the license into the flash
memory on the ROC800 or the FB107.

2.1.1 Installing the License Key for the ROC800

Caution

Failure to exercise proper electrostatic discharge precautions, such as
wearing a grounded wrist strap may reset the processor or damage
electronic components, resulting in interrupted operations.

When working on units located in a hazardous area (where explosive
gases may be present), make sure the area is in a non-hazardous state
before performing these procedures. Performing these procedures in a
hazardous area could result in personal injury or property damage.

To install a license key:

1. Remove power from the ROC800.

2. If necessary, remove the wire channel cover.

3. Unscrew the screws from the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

faceplate.

4. Remove the CPU faceplate.

5. Place the license key in the appropriate terminal slot (P4 or P6) in

the CPU (refer to Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1. License Key Installation

6. Press the license key into the terminal until it is firmly seated (refer

to Figure 2-1).

7. Re-attach the CPU faceplate.

8. Re-attach the screws on the CPU faceplate.

9. If necessary, re-attach the wire channel cover.

10. Restore power to the ROC800.

Note: Installing a user program without a license key allows you

only to view the program screens (that is, the program
outputs no data). Installing the license key enables the
program to read from the meter and output data.

2.3 Installing the Optional User Displays (for FB107)

The Tank Manager user program for the FB107 is distributed with three
(3) optional user displays:

▪ Enumerated Lists
▪ Haul Log Viewer
▪ Hauler Database

These optional user displays are not installed with the program by
default. Although these three (3) displays are needed for configuration
of load out functionality, they are not required for operation, and it may
not be necessary to install them in some use cases.

These user displays can either be stored on your computer and opened

manually “from file” as needed, or they can be installed in the FB107

via the ROCLINK 800 Display Administrator. This manual assumes the
displays have been installed in the device using the Display Administer
as shown in the following section.

Note that 196,608 bytes are reserved for user displays in the device’s

flash. The three optional displays included with Tank Manager for the
FB107 consume approximately 63,594 bytes. If that amount of space is
not available, the three displays cannot be installed until space has been
made by removing other user displays.

Scan-to-Scan Change: The program scans

the top level gauge every 4 seconds. This

setting specifies the maximum value (in units

of liquid volume) that the level gauge is

allowed to change without being considered

invalid. Should a level gauge transmitter

malfunction, this will keep the invalid reading

from being interpreted as true production.

Max Time Invalid (Reset): If the level gauge

malfunction, it provides an unrealistic reading.

This setting determines how long to wait

before re-baselining the understood true level

of the tank. After a guage validity error occurs,

if it is cleared before this configurable time

expires, the large sudden change in level from

the gauge will not be interpreted as true

production.

The Haul Log Overview screen, as shown in Figure 3-14, displays the
last 20 hauls, with the most current haul at the top of the screen. Each of
the values in this log is stored in an individual TLP. The most recent
haul is logical 1 and the last haul is logical 20. A SCADA system can
access these logs by polling for TLPs and logical addresses that
correspond to the entry in the sequence. The program assigns every
completed haul a transaction number. By polling the Transaction
Number TLP [198,1,31], the SCADA system can determine when a new
log is available.

In addition to the 20 most recent hauls, which are stored in TLPs for
easy access, more haul log records are stored within the device, on the
flash file system. The ROC800 stores the most recent 512 hauls in this
manner, and the FB107 stores the most recent 64. These additional haul
records can be retrieved one at a time by a SCADA system. This is
accomplished by writing the haul transaction number to be retrieved
into the field mentioned above (which is TLP [198,0,44] on the
ROC800, and TLP [180,0,44] on the FB107). The requested record will
be populated into logical instance 0 of the Tank Manager haul logs point
type (which is PT 198 on the ROC800, and PT 180 on the FB107).

For more details, refer to Appendix B – Retrieving the Haul Logs via
SCADA.

Caution

The FB107 utilizes the flash file system of the FB107 to store the
previous 64 haul logs. When you perform the cold start of the device,
the flash memory space where these log records are located is restored
to the point of the previous save-to-flash event. Therefore, in order to
avoid the loss of data, and maintain synchronization with any SCADA
system, it is required to perform a save-to-flash BEFORE any sort of
cold start on the FB107.

wish to haul from.

Measurement Methods

Defines the method and calculations to be used for hauls from this load
out terminal. Depending on the selection, additional configuration fields
will become visible.

Level Gauge –

API 12.1.1

The haul volume will be determined based on
changes to the level of the tank being hauled from. A
single reading of the tank level is taken at the
beginning of the haul. Readings for each of the fluid
properties (temperature, pressure, density, S&W)
are also recorded on the haul opening. When the
haul is completed, a closing tank level is taken, and
a second closing set of fluid properties (optional) is
recorded. These values are then used to determine
the haul volume, based on the API MPMS Chapter

12.1.1 methodology.

Level Gauge –

API 18.2 Static

The haul volume will be determined based on
changes to the level of the tank being hauled from.
Tank level readings are taken at the opening and
closing of the haul. Fluid properties (temperature,
pressure, density, S&W) are recorded during the
haul according to the API MPMS 18.2
methodology. When the haul is completed, the final
haul volume is determined according to the
calculations outlined in the API MPMS 18.2
standard.

Meter – ROC800L

The load out terminal will read meter accumulation
and fluid properties from an associated ROC800L
Liquid Meter. Fluid property values (temperature,
pressure, density, S&W) are averaged using flow
weighing over the period of the haul. These
averages are then reported for the haul. The final
haul volume is based on the quantities recorded
from the ROC800L Liquid Meter.

Tank Manager User Manual (for ROC800-Series and FloBoss 107)

Revised June-2019 Configuration 85

Field

Description

Meter – API 18.2

Dynamic

The haul volume is determined using a live meter
which is configured and dedicated to the load out
terminal. Fluid property values (temperature,
pressure, density, S&W) are recorded at various
periods throughout the haul, in accordance with the
methodology outlined in API MPMS 18.2. The final
haul volume is calculated using the meter readings
and fluid property values recorded during the haul,
using the calculations outlined in the API MPMS

18.2 standard.

Calculate Std

Volumes

Enables the program to have the tank manager
calculate haul volumes at standard conditions (i.e.
60 deg F, and 0.0 psig), also known as the Gross
Standard Volume (GSV). For this option to be used,
the required instrumentation (temperature, pressure,
density) must be configured

BSW / Divert

Valve Control

Definition

Click to display the TLP screen and define
a live S&W input value, which will be read
periodically through the haul and will
determine the behavior of the divert valve.

Value

When a BSW / Divert Valve Control Definition
is configured, this field will show the current
value of the live input. When the BSW / Divert
Valve Control Definition is left undefined, this
is the field where a manual S&W value should
be entered.

Max Allowable

S&W

Enter a percentage (between 0% and 100%)
that is the maximum allowed sediment and
water percentage reading that is allowed to
occur during a haul. If the live value exceeds
this limit during a haul (for the number of
confirmation delay sections), the flow should
be diverted.

Merchantable

Confirmation

Delay Seconds

If the S&W % exceeds the Max Allowed

S&W%, flow is diverted immediately since the

oil is deemed Non-Merchantable. Should the

S&W % fall below the Max Allowed S&W %,

the Merchantable Confirmation Delay Timer

starts. If the S&W % remains below the Max

Allowed S&W % for the entire Merchantability

Delay Time, the divert valve will be triggered

to stop diverting flow, since the oil has been

deemed Merchantable.

Max Diverted Run

Time Minutes

Should the flow become diverted, this defines
the maximum number of minutes that the
diverted state is allowed, before the haul
should be aborted (shut down via a TSD).

NonMerchantable

PSD Duration

Hours

If a PSD occurs due to too many failed haul
attempts, the system will no longer allow
additional hauls. Hauling can resume after the
number of hours configured in this field are
passed.

Max

NonMerchantable

TSDs

If multiple TSD (Temporary Shut Down)
events occur sequentially (due to a non­merchantable product state) while attempting
to perform a haul, this is only allowed to occur
the number of times as configured in this
field. Should the maximum number of TSDs
occur, then the loadout will enter a state of
PSD (Permanent Shut Down), and will be
unable to proceed with new hauls for a
duration of time.

Inactivity Minutes

Defines the time allowed where no action has
been taken and no flow has been detected
before closing out a haul in progress. This
timer will be reset when flow is detected or
when you complete any action during the
haul. You also extend the haul, which adds
the inactivity minutes to the current time
remaining before a closeout.

Warning X B4

Expiry

Defines the time remaining in which a warning

will be given to you. When the inactivity

minutes are below this value, you will be

notified with a warning.

Hauling Flow

Indication Period

Number of consecutive seconds required
before the program recognizes that flow is in
progress during a haul. If the appearance of
flow from an associated meter exists for less
than this time period, that state is not
considered to be an indication of flow.

On Demand Automated Hauling

This feature allows for metered hauls to begin automatically. When
the TLP selected (typically a discrete input) is True (1), the load out
terminal will enter into hauling mode and will remain in the hauling
mode until the TLP is False (0) for the time configured in the Close
Out Delay Seconds. This allows a Tank Manager load out terminal to
calculate hauls without the need for an operator to log into the HMI
(a one button haul configuration option).

Discrete Demand

Signal

Click to select a discrete signal which will
be used to initiate hauls when it transitions
from 0 to 1, and will determine the end of the
haul when it transitions from 1 to 0. This is
