Autosampler for Loading – AVM

The Automatic Sampler for Loading – AVM is an equipment developed to perform automatic and accurate collection of liquid fuel samples during the tanker truck loading process, ensuring full compliance with the requirements of the ANP (Resolution 44/2013). Designed to operate in an integrated manner with the measurement and loading systems, the AVM ensures that the sample collected faithfully represents the entire volume transferred, regardless of batch or flow variations, being compatible with any type of loading, whether top-loading or bottom-loading.

With advanced technology and intelligent control, the equipment eliminates human interference in the sampling process, increases operational safety and ensures the integrity of the collected product, making it the ideal solution for distribution bases, terminals and operations that require reliability and traceability in the sample collection process.

Benefits

Increased operational safety

Eliminates the need for manual picking, reducing operator exposure to gases, flammable liquids and working at height.

Increased efficiency and agility in loading

Automates the sampling process, reducing the time the truck stays in the bay and increasing the productivity of the operation

Legal and regulatory compliance (ANP)

It fully meets the requirements of ANP Resolution 44/2013 for the collection of control samples in fuel distribution bases, mitigating the risks of fines.

The AVM has robust microprocessor electronics that manage fuel collections and monitor instantaneous flows and loading stages. The system maintains active communication via Modbus protocol with the flow computers of the loading bays, allowing integration with supervisory and base automation systems. In the event of any interruption in the line, the AVM pauses sampling and resumes it automatically as soon as the flow is restored. Its operation interface is extremely simple and intuitive, with a multifunctional signal lamp (which indicates progress, completion or failure of the process) and a physical button for safe release and filling of the 1-liter sample in the control bottle.

Its main features are:

  • Electronic Module (Controller & VFD): monitors and totals the flow rates of the components, applying a sampling control algorithm according to flow variations.
  • Positive Displacement Pumping Module: ensures precise control of the microflow rate of the sample.
  • Communication System: Through the Modbus communication protocol, it is possible to realize direct integration with flow computers and charging presets.
  • 1 liter inner container: ensures the integrity and preservation of the collected sample.
  • Control solenoid valve: manages the start and end of the sampling process.
  • Regulatory Compliance – ANP: The AVM meets the requirements established by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) for automatic collection of fuel control samples, as provided for in ANP Resolution No. 44/2013. The system performs sampling proportional to the flow, ensuring representativeness of the transferred product during loading and unloading operations, in accordance with the quality control, traceability and inspection criteria required by the ANP.
  • Application: Sampling of liquid fuels, in operations with pure products or blends, such as Diesel S10/S500, Biodiesel and Ethanol.

Patented equipment, developed for installation close to the loading arm, operating with homogeneous product, flow measurement systems and compatible electrical supply.
