What is the ELP 2000?
The ELP 2000 is a Portable Water Detection Device that was developed by oilfield workers for oilfield workers. It provides a quick and accurate method of detecting water when gauging crude oil storage tanks, chemical storage tanks, and any other application where water detection is required including freshwater.
This device works jointly with an existing standard steel gauge line to produce immediate and precise fluid level measurements in any conditions including extreme heat or cold.
This new safer method replaces the old way of using paste on a gauge line which is messy and time-consuming.

How does the ELP 2000 work?
- The ELP 2000 attaches to any existing steel gauge line. Simply unscrew the current handle and attach the ELP 2000.
- Plug in Grounding cable and clamp to bottom of the ELP 2000. Ensure the ELP2000 is properly grounded before operating the ELP 2000. The grounding clip is crucial to ensure 99.9999% accuracy and safety.
- The ELP 2000 utilizes the patent pending Chisel Plum Bob to immediately identify contact with water. Once the Plum Bob encounters water, the light on the ELP 2000 will illuminate.
- Once depth is recorded, the user can calculate the amount of water vs. crude in the tank. Example: With a 16 ft. tank (assuming it is full), if the ELP 2000 illuminates at 4 ft from the top, this indicates there is 12 ft of water and 4 ft of crude.

Comparison
Old
- Relies on water detecting paste to determine water level.
- Time-consuming
- Extremely messy application and cleanup process.
- Takes more time to prep and clean.
- Gauging a tank several times to get average reading.
- Removing excessive amounts of crude when pulling water from tanks which results in loosing oil (“MONEY”).
- Extreme weather conditions can prevent accurate readings.
- Employees are exposed to inclement weather conditions and toxic fumes for longer periods of time
New
