The OPW Aqueous Ethanol Float (AEF) Sensor serves to detect water in fuel storage tanks for the prevention of fuel contamination. According to the company, it can monitor ethanol blends ranging from E10 to E85 and etects product density fluctuations at the bottom of the tank in real time. If the sensor detects density fluctuations, the sensor will first signal the tank gauge to activate a warning, followed by an alarm, which will initiate a motor shutdown. Programmable density thresholds enable operators to address phase separation before contaminated fuel is distributed and fuel inventory is ruined, allowing them to make adjustments in a time frame that offers maximum operational uptime.
