Abstract: Todays competitive fuel market has challenged many oil companies to automate their truck loading terminals. The degree of automation varies from company to company. The small, independent home heating fuel plant with a throughput of only a few thousand gallons a day may not be able to justify a full-blown automation system. Conversely, a major terminal with several million gallons a day cannot operate on a simple security oriented system. The challenge is to select a Terminal Automation System that best suits your needs, today and tomorrow. The benefits of automation, ranging from plant access security to improved product accountability, are limitless. The term Automated Truck Loading Systems encompasses several areas. One can easily imagine the array of products and ideas that fall within this term. The objective of this paper is to detail the options available along with their benefits to the user. This is best accomplished by viewing the terminal operation in two parts, the load rack or riser equipment, and then the Terminal Automation System (T.A.S.). Once the two areas of operation are understood, the integration of the systems can be understood.
