About The GuardDog

The GuardDog is quickly becoming the industrys defacto standard for spill prevention. Developed from the ground up to protect lives, the environment, and security, the GuardDogs patent pending design continuously monitors from 1 to 8 loading or transfer streams per unit. Built with the future in mind, its innovative design is compliant with the American Petroleum Institutes (API) RP 1004 requirements, streamlines operations, dramatically reduces the risks of spills, detects leaks, and even detects attempted product theft.

Under normal conditions The GuardDog is silent until it detects a catastrophic valve failure. Springing to action, the GuardDog automatically shuts down pumps; closes storage tank base valves and locks out the loading operation while alerting management personnel of the problem and providing an opportunity for investigation. The GuardDog empowers management with complete control -- not allowing loading to continue or resume until management determines it is safe to load again by initiating a keyed system reset switch.

Impressively flexible, the GuardDog is easily integrated into the Terminal Management System at tank truck, rail car, commercial and military aviation refueling and marine ship and barge loading operation facilities. A typical configuration requires only one GuardDog" unit per load lane. The unit works in concert with SGT Incs Pump & Valve Controller and other existing safety components and emergency shutdown circuits to provide a fail-safe mechanism for stopping flow when a valve failure is detected.
