Rosemount TankRadar STaR
System Description
System Description
Rosemount TankRadar STaR is a Tank Gauging, Alarm Handling and Cargo
Control System designed for marine use in the area of tank gauging.
Rosemount TankRadar STaR comprehends several subsystems and a wide
range of functions. By tradition Emerson Process Management Marine Solu-
tions has measured cargo ullage on tankers since 1976. With all the knowl-
edge and experience from over 30 years of radar tank gauging Emerson
Process Management Marine Solutions has developed a new generation of
Rosemount TankRadar. Rosemount TankRadar STaR is a highly integrated
system for a reliable and accurate control of the cargo with functions such as
cargo calculations, alarm monitoring, redundant communication and tank
cleaning monitoring. The system is easily monitored and controlled from one
or several Workstations.
The foundation of the system is the Tank Gauge Unit, the Supply and Com-
munication Unit and the Workstation. The Tank Gauge Unit measures the
distance to the cargo surface using a continuous radar signal. The intelligent
and autonomous Tank Gauge Unit sends the processed data to the Supply and
Communication Unit that communicates with the Workstation.
Rosemount TankRadar STaR has a high degree of safety built into the sys-
tem. The Tank Gauge Unit is intrinsically safe, that is an electrical fault can-
not induce an igniting spark.
Rosemount TankRadar STaR meets the requirements of all the major interna-
tional marine classification societies. The system is type tested against the
relevant sections of IACS Unified requirement E10 together with the relevant
sections of IEC 60945.
