Fives gets its connected and automatic dewatering solution for hydrocarbon storage tanks "ATEX" certified

Fives, international leader in industrial engineering, designs analyzers and instruments to optimize processes, secure operations and reduce its customers’ environmental footprint. Its solution, the Pillard TK DRAIN™, specifically designed for refineries and petrochemical sites, just received the ATEX certification, thus offering more safety and performance for the dewatering of hydrocarbon storage tanks.

The only automatic solution on the market

Hydrocarbon storage tanks sometimes have water infiltration, caused by rain or condensation, for example. This presents two issues: it limits storage capacity and creates corrosion inside storage tanks; which can trigger significant financial loss for industrial sites.

A pioneer of decarbonization and digitalization of industry, Fives designed a unique solution on the market, the Pillard TK DRAIN™. This technology automatically stops the dewatering process as soon as it detects hydrocarbon particles, preventing any health, environmental and financial issues. Remotely operated, the Pillard TK DRAIN™ can also be connected to sustainable energy sources, reducing a little more the environmental footprint of industrial sites.
