Smart, safe and future-oriented management of your storage tank. From automatic level measurement to breathing valve: DCM EMBA is your technical expertise partner from the first consultation to the last link.
For safe operation of your storage tank, reliable level measurement is essential. With our radar technology and intelligent components, you continuously monitor the product level, temperature and pressure in your tank, accurately down to the millimeter.
Whether for inventory management, custody transfer or overfill protection, DCM EMBA integrates a conclusive measurement system, fully tailored to your product and process. This allows you to maintain maximum control, without manual intervention on the tank.

For accurate content determination, inventory management and transfer of liquids, we provide your tank with radar-controlled level measurement. Our systems precisely measure product level, temperature and pressure, including for custody transfer and overfill protection.
Evaporator valves protect your tank system from negative pressure or overpressure by allowing gas exchange while preventing your product from evaporating to the atmosphere during inactivity. Emergency valves provide additional safety in extreme situations such as fire or pressure spikes.
By injecting a layer of inert nitrogen gas above the liquid surface, you avoid contact with oxygen and moisture. This keeps your product stable and reduces vapor formation or explosion hazards.
Our components are specifically designed for ease of installation, durability and safety. While reducing manual intervention on the tank, they also increase operational reliability. Meet DCM EMBA's product range.

The Tank Hub performs two essential functions. On the one hand, it collects all measurement data (level, temperature, pressure) and transmits them to the System Hub via the TRL2 bus. On the other hand, it forms a safe electrical barrier between the local intrinsically safe circuit on top of the tank and the 230 VAC power supply in the tank pit.
Safe and smart installation via intrinsically safe two-wire tank bus
Calculation of average temperature, observed density and volume based on strapping table
Fast and easy startup thanks to automatic configuration
Wide communication options (Modbus, WirelessHART, ...) and emulation of other vendors
SIL2 or SIL3 certification available
The System Hub is the central collection point to which all Tank Hubs connect. This device provides a smooth connection to external systems via built-in emulation protocols, and is permanently connected to both the TankMaster and the customer's local application (PLC, DCS, ...).
Fast and reliable data update
Up to 64 tanks connected to one system
Scalable configuration for a variety of applications
Real-time inventory calculations according to API standard (net volumes)
Flexible multi-port connectivity
Support for instrument and system redundancy
Emulation possible for Enraf, Varec and Sakura
TankMaster is the visualization software that gives the operator a complete overview of all installed measurement systems. In addition to tank monitoring, the software offers numerous functions such as calculations, trend analysis and diagnostics.
Automatic stock calculations according to API standard (NET volumes)
Integrated network connectivity with local systems (PLC, DCS, ...)
Automatic detection of abnormal conditions in floating tank roofs
Improved safety through simple alarm management and remote proof testing
Based on IEC 62591 (WirelessHART), the industry standard for wireless field communications.
Save significantly on cabling, design and installation costs
Less downtime, fewer errors, more flexibility
Faster project startup and shorter time-to-operation compared to traditional systems
Tank fittings are indispensable for the safe operation of storage tanks. They protect the tank, the product and the environment. DCM EMBA provides only quality fittings, expertly designed for demanding fluids, high standards and maximum safety.

Level and manhole covers provide secure access to storage tanks for manual measurements, sampling or inspections. They are available in a variety of materials, sizes and flange connections, with a custom seal based on the product stored. For added convenience, manhole lids can be equipped with a quick release valve for quick, hands-free operation.
Vapor valves protect storage tanks from over- and underpressure during filling, emptying or during temperature fluctuations while inactivity keeps your product from evaporating to the atmosphere. They are available as open or closed versions, in various materials and with customized seals depending on the product stored. For applications with higher pressure or corrosive liquids, spring-loaded models and versions in PVC or FRP are available.
Safety valves provide protection during abnormal pressure changes and remain closed unless in an emergency situation. Depending on the application, they can be equipped with hinge, spring or solenoid loading, in each case with proper reclosing. They are available in a variety of materials and flange connections, including corrosion-resistant versions in FRP for demanding environments.
Nitrogen valves inject an inert gas (usually nitrogen) above the liquid surface into the tank when the internal pressure drops. This protective gas layer prevents oxidation, evaporation and contamination of the product. Thus, product quality is maintained during storage, even with sensitive or volatile substances.
Flame arresters and detonators protect tanks and pipelines from external ignition sources when storing liquids with a low flash point. They operate via a metal flame element that dissipates heat, extinguishing the flame or explosion. This increases fire safety and prevents damage to installations and pipes.
Fill protection is mandatory as soon as there is a risk of product loss or environmental damage when filling a tank. This applies in particular to flammable, toxic or environmentally sensitive liquids. DCM EMBA helps you choose the right protection according to applicable regulations and your operational context.
The choice depends on the type of fluid, the desired level of accuracy, and the application (e.g. inventory management or custody transfer). We will be happy to advise you on the right combination of radar, temperature and pressure measurement, tailored to your installation.
