Propane or LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a gaseous hydrocarbon that is widely used as an alternative to fuel oil for  heating and other purposes. LPG/Propane providers deliver the gas via gas tanker trucks to gas storage tanks located in filling stations or at customer sites. Typically, gas levels in the storage tanks are still monitored manually.

In the face of growing competition, LPG/Propane providers are always seeking ways of reducing costs, rationalizing work-related processes, and differentiating their service from that of their rivals. The LPG/Propane industry is looking for solutions that provide automated reading of tank levels via autonomous units, using existing data networks (GSM), and centralized management and control.

In addition, LPG/Propane providers need to stem the losses incurred when filling station operators fill the provider's tanks with LPG/Propane from pirate sources. Since LPG/Propane providers cannot prevent station operators from accessing tanks, remote online rather than physical solutions are urgently required to detect illegal refills.

Using the latest advances in GSM/GPRS technology, WAC systems communicate directly with sensors and other devices to offer LPG/Propane providers a broad range of wireless solutions for their entire monitoring and metering needs. WAC's innovative system for remotely monitoring the level of LPG/Propane in storage tanks, delivers unprecedented logistic and transportation savings, prevents unauthorized fills, monitor over fillings and improves inventory control.

Benefits of WAC's LPG/Propane solutions:

• Gas levels in the bulks can be read at any time and in every location
• Drastically reduces need to manually/visually inspect gas levels - fewer walking/driving meter reading personnel
• The ability to monitor  illegal filling by third-parties reduces fraud by making it impossible to manipulate meters without detection
• Better  online scheduling, routing and utilization of  tanker trucks
• Fewer gas fills, fewer filling processes, fewer tanker trucks, lower km/mileage of tanker trucks travel
• Helps ensure on-time LPG/Propane deliveries and improves online inventory management.
