Abstract: A method includes receiving (704) information associated with a level of material in a tank (102a-102c), where the tank has a hatch (114). The method also includes determining (706) whether the level of material in the tank experiences a specified variation within a critical zone (202) associated with the hatch. The specified variation is indicative of the hatch being open while the tank is being filled. In addition, the method includes generating (716) an alarm when the level of material in the tank experiences the specified variation. Determining whether the level of material in the tank experiences the specified variation could be based on an entrance level speed of the material, which identifies a rate at which the level of material in the tank is increasing when the material level crosses a lower bound of the critical zone. Also, no alarms could be generated when the level of material in the tank is outside the critical zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage tank for a liquid, which comprises a bottom and upright walls and which can be closed by means of a cover element that floats on the liquid, which cover element substantially abuts against the upright walls with its circumferential edge, whilst determining means are present for determining the liquid level in the tank. To get an adequate perception of the position both of the liquid surface and of the cover element floating thereon, the storage tank is according to the present invention provided with detection means, which detect the position of the cover element in the storage tank.
