Method for monitoring material in a container

A method for monitoring an amount of a chemical material, the method comprising:

• providing an at least one portable container;
• filling the at least one portable container at least partially with a first amount of the chemical material;
• operatively associating a sensor with the at least one portable container, the sensor effective to detect a first level of the chemical material in the at least portable container and to generate a first data signal based on the first level;
• operating the sensor to detect a second level of the chemical material in the at least one portable container and to generate a second data signal based on the second level;
• using a processor in operable communication with the sensor, whereby the sensor communicates the first data signal and the second data signal to the processor, and the processor receives the first data signal and the second data signal;
• generating a report based on the first data signal and the second data signal, the report relating to the amount of the chemical material;
• and
• generating a warning signal when the amount is below a predetermined threshold;
• wherein the processor is in communication with a database, wherein the processor communicates the report over a network to at least one of a computer display, a website, and a mobile application, and wherein the chemical material is useable in connection with an oilfield operation.

A method for monitoring an amount of a chemical material, the method comprising:

• providing an at least one portable container;
• providing into the at least one portable container a first amount of the chemical material;
• operatively associating a sensor with the at least one portable container, the sensor effective to detect a first level of the chemical material in the at least portable container and to generate a first data signal based on the first level;
• operating the sensor to detect a change in the amount of the chemical material in the at least one portable container, and thereby to generate a second data signal based on the change;
• using a processor in operable communication with the sensor, whereby the sensor communicates the first data signal and the second data signal to the processor, and the processor receives the first data signal and the second data signal;
• generating a report based on the first data signal and the second data signal, the report relating to the amount of the chemical material;
• and
• generating a warning signal when the amount is beyond a predetermined threshold;
• wherein the processor is in communication via a network with a second processor operably associated with of one of computer display, a website, and a mobile device, and wherein the chemical material is useable in connection with an oilfield operation.
