In our quest to continue providing
clients with better, more updated
solutions to suit their requirements
staying ahead of the game with cost
effective solutions yet more stringent control
on environmental and ergonomic impact,
LAS partnered with a UK based company that
was able to fulfil these exact needs. Mother-
well Tank Gauging (MTG) is a new name in
Southern Africa but they are part of Moth-
erwell Tank Protection whom provided the
protection limits the spread of flames and smoke,
which also limits the transfer and spreading of fire
between fire compartments.
The Den Braven Fire Protect range consists
of an FP Acrylic sealant, FP Silicone sealant, FP
Hybrid sealant and FP PU foam filler. Each of
these specialised products can have fire retar-
dancy of up to four hours and international
fire certifications.
Den Braven is known as one of the leading
developers and manufacturers of sealants, adhe-
sives and PU expansion foams and is considered
to be an authority in the field of dedicated
concepts that provide complete solutions –
locally and internationally.
For further technical specifications and fire
certifications please see the technical data sheets
available on the Den Braven website or call the
Den Braven sales team for technical assistance.

LAS, which is based in
South Africa, has been the
market leading equipment
and service supplier in the
High Accuracy Tank Level
Measurement market in sub-
Saharan Africa for the
past 25 years.
Tank Storage industry with solutions for the
past 150 years. They have traditionally been
targeting UK and European markets and only
relative recently started branching out with a
larger global footprint.
Motherwell Tank Gauging’s comprehen-
sive range of ATG equipment provides
a complete custody transfer solution from
a selection of either Servo or Radar gauges,
auxiliary equipment such as averaging
temperature probes with or without water
sensing, optional interfacing units for
SCADA or DCS interfacing to Inventory
Control Firmware.
LAS values MTG’s offering as we consider
it perfectly suitable for sub-Saharan African
applications for the following reasons:
• Custody Transfer (OIML R85) approvals
• User Friendly HMI for ease of operation
and reduced training needs
• Simplified site installation architecture
with resultant reduced cost and increased
system reliability
• Standardised communication modes vs
proprietary protocols simplifying 3
rd
party integration
• Hi-tech, accurate measurement yet
simplified installation and maintenance
• Features available on MTG equipment are
available as standard features vs costly
options on competitor models
• Features available on MTG Inventory
Control Firmware is available as
standard features vs costly options on
competitor firmware
• MTG are constantly developing their
instruments and firmware to stay ahead
of competitors at all times. Radar gauges
are now available with ‘lightning fast’
processors, minimising level measurement
delays, traditionally a problem for radar
level measurement. Updates however
remain compatible with predecessor
models. Exiting new inventory control
firmware underway due for release late
2017 with unprecedented features.
LAS looks forward to taking the African
journey with Motherwell Tank Gauging
bringing a new approach to Custody
Transfer Level Measurement to African
clients where it was believed that such
installations are costly investments reserved
for only a few big role players.
