TURBINE PUMP
INTERFACE
PROTECTION & EFFICIENCY. Run your entire
business as efficiently as possible by networking an
INCON® brand fuel management system together
with FE PETRO ® brand intelligent pump controllers
via Turbine Pump Interface. Turbine pump interface
(TPI) provides additional protection to your pumping
system while also maximizing uptime through fuel
management capabilities. Check out these
scenarios where TPI can increase efficiency and
protect your business.
HIGHLIGHTS
Pump in Water Automation
Scenario: When the water level in a tank approaches the
pump intake, the tank gauge will enter alarm mode and
automatically shut down the pump, protecting the system
and consumers from water being pumped from that tank.
How did TPI save the day?
•
By shutting off the affected pump, TPI prevented water
from being pumped into the customer’s vehicle, avoiding
potential damage and lost customer loyalty. Additionally,
the fuel management rules engine can automatically notify
the proper off-site personnel to ensure a timely and
accurate response.
Clogged Intake Escalation
Scenario: When the pump controller reports a dry run, the
tank gauge automatically verifies against product levels and
determines whether a clogged intake has occurred. If
clogged, the tank gauge on it’s own automatically will
attempt to clear the intake. How did Turbine Pump Interface
save the day?
•
By attempting to clear the intake on its own, TPI can
eliminate the need for a service call. Whether the intake is
cleared or not, TPI will log the alarm to provide detailed
history to expedite service in the event of a future dry run
versus clogged intake alarms.
SPECIFICATIONS

Leveling & Priority Modes
Scenario: When managing two storage tanks of the same
product 'Leveling Mode' can keep both tanks at the same
percentage full without the use of a syphon bar between the
two tanks. Alternately, 'Priority Mode' will pump one tank
down to a certain level before turning on the other pump.
How did TPI save the day?
•
Leveling Mode mimics a traditional syphon system without
the upfront cost of piping between the two storage tanks.
You can also avoid the on-going maintenance costs of
servicing the syphon bar as well as the additional piping
penetrations in the tank sumps.
Remote Pump Interaction
Scenario: A site reports an intermittent problem with the
pumping system, but cannot provide any detailed feedback
of the alarms being issued by the intelligent controllers and
the tank gauge. How did TPI save the day?
•
By networking the intelligent controllers to the fuel
management system via TPI, a technician can remotely
connect to the site to review the logged event history and
view the status of the pump controllers. If necessary, the
history provided by TPI can ensure the proper equipment
is on the technician’s service vehicle before leaving to
perform maintenance.
