SIMAC-ICOMPP System
Exolum and Montrel have invented and patented the SIMAC-ICOMPP system to automatically identify compartments in petroleum product trucks. It also includes purge control and electronic recording of all loads.
About the SIMAC-ICOMPP System
Both companies jointly market the SIMAC-ICOMPP system to the oil & gas industry. Its main function is to automatically verify the unique identification of each truck compartment during loading and unloading. Additionally, it controls purges automatically. The system relies on a small hardware device (TAG) attached to each truck compartment, which communicates through the loading arm with the equipment in the terminal’s loading bays. Furthermore, the system records all loading results electronically in each TAG for later reading and telematic unloading at the service station.
Currently, loading centres maintain databases with detailed information on all trucks operating in their facilities, including the capacity of each compartment. Previously, the link between the compartment and the arm was set manually by the driver. This meant the driver chose and typed the number of compartments to connect to the loading arm. Systems before SIMAC-ICOMPP lacked devices to verify correct assignment or to stop operations if discrepancies or errors occurred.
Moreover, the new SIMAC-ICOMPP system requires all compartments to be thoroughly purged before loading. It controls this process automatically to prevent undesirable mixtures between different products in successive loads. Consequently, it ensures high-quality product handling and complements the procedures established by Exolum, guaranteeing excellent service to clients.
