Energy Transportation, Terminals & Storage

What Kind of Energy Transportation, Terminals & Storage Industries Do We Offer?

We provide the Intelligence, Safety, and Control layer for the midstream and downstream sectors. We do not own the pipes or trucks; we provide the technology that ensures they operate safely and profitably. Our solutions include:

Terminal Automation & Inventory Management (Varec)

We offer the industry-standard software (FuelsManager) that tracks the movement of bulk liquids from pipelines into storage tanks and out to loading racks. This includes "Custody Transfer" systems that calculate exactly how much product changes hands, accounting for temperature and density.

Tank Storage Safety & Gauging

We manufacture the hardware that sits on top of massive storage tanks. This includes Radar Level Gauges (to measure volume to the millimeter) and Conservation Vents/Flame Arresters (to let tanks "breathe" without rupturing or letting in fire).

Pipeline & Facility Environmental Monitoring

We deploy automated noise monitoring systems around pumping stations, compressor stations, and busy truck terminals to ensure operational noise does not violate local community standards or environmental regulations.

In What Applications, Products, or Services Are They Used?

Our service programs support a wide range of industries and applications:

Leak & Emissions Risk

Pipeline Transportation (Crude, Gas, Refined Products)

Used at "metering stations" and injection points to verify flow rates and detect leaks in the line.

Oilfield & Terminals

Petroleum Bulk Stations & Terminals

Used to automate the "loading rack" where tanker trucks fill up. Our systems authorize the driver, control the pump, and print the bill of lading automatically.

Water & Wastewater Facilities

Bulk Liquid Warehousing

Used for overfill protection (API 2350 compliance). If a tank is filled too high, our independent alarm systems shut down the flow before a spill occurs.

Natural Gas Storage

High-pressure relief valves and flame arresters used on sphere tanks and pressurized vessels to prevent catastrophic over-pressure events.

Why is It Important to Have These Solutions Available to You?

Profit Protection

Margins in energy transportation are tight. If your measurement is off by even a fraction of a percentage, you are giving away free product. Our high-accuracy gauging ensures you bill for exactly what you deliver.

Catastrophic Prevention

Terminals and pipelines handle explosive materials. Without our flame arresters and pressure relief vents, a simple lightning strike or closed valve could turn a facility into a disaster zone.

Operational Throughput

Automated terminals move trucks faster. Instead of manual dipping and paper tickets, drivers badge in, load up, and drive out, doubling the throughput of your facility.

Moving the World’s Energy. Measuring Every Drop.

Introduction

The journey from the wellhead to the gas pump is complex. Energy Transportation, Terminals, and Storage form the critical “Midstream” link that keeps the world powered. Whether it is crude oil pulsing through a cross-country pipeline, natural gas stored in pressurized spheres, or refined gasoline sitting in a terminal tank farm, managing the flow of bulk liquids requires absolute precision.

At Cognesense, we provide the digital and mechanical backbone for these facilities. We convert physical flows into financial data, ensuring that as energy moves through pipelines and into storage, it is measured, accounted for, and kept safe from environmental hazards.

How It Works & Key Advantages

Inventory Visibility

Our advanced Radar and Servo Gauges constantly monitor tank levels, temperature, and density. This data is fed into our enterprise software, giving you a real-time "Balance Sheet" of your liquid assets.

Terminal Automation

We streamline the loading dock. Our systems automatically authorize drivers, control flow valves, and generate electronic bills of lading, reducing truck turnaround time and eliminating paperwork errors.

Safety Interlocks

We integrate Overfill Protection Systems and Pressure Relief Valves directly into the tank structure. If pressure builds dangerously high or a tank is about to overflow, our mechanical and electronic safeguards act instantly to prevent spills or ruptures.

Why Cognesense is the Technology of Choice?

Cognesense is the Technology of Choice because we are the only provider that bridges the gap between the “steel” and the “software.”
