Remote Level Sensored Self Bunded Smart Tanks for Keenan Ag
In the heart of the Riverina region of NSW is Keenan Ag, an innovative horticulture contracting business. A leader in ethical and profitable farming solutions, Keenan Ag has a clear vision to revolutionise on-farm productivity through maximising efficiency.
The Challenge
Their specialty lies in almond farm management and harvesting. But their journey was not without its challenges. They faced a specific problem: Keenan Ag needed a reliable and efficient way to supply diesel to their water pumps, which are the lifelines of their almond trees. To achieve their goals, the diesel storage tank had to be situated next to water sources. But this posed a crucial problem: how to reduce the risk of contaminating their most precious resource – water?
The Durotank Solution
After assessing Keenan Ag’s needs, Durotank recommended two Self Bunded Smart Tank units with capacities of 15,000L and 50,000L. The self-bunded design eliminates the need to build a separate bund, saving Keenan Ag valuable time and money.
Durotank’s Smart Tanks are not just storage units, they are a holistic solution. Designed to store large quantities of fuel, they require minimal installation and offer low ongoing maintenance.
The larger 50,000L tank took its place near the dams to aid the pumps supplying water to the trees, while the smaller 15,000L tank was strategically placed, to feed diesel to the pumps drawing water from a channel into their turkey nest dam. Both tanks were equipped with a remote level sensor, enabling Keenan Ag to monitor their fuel level remotely.
The Result
The decision to install Durotank’s 15,000L and 50,000L Self Bunded Smart Tanks proved to be a game-changer for Keenan Ag. They illustrate the potential for technology to enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability in farming practices, paving the way for a brighter future in agriculture. The high-quality, Australian made design provides an affordable fuel storage solution without compromising on quality. In the end, it’s about a shared vision, a commitment to innovation, and the drive to constantly bring new solutions to farming practices.
