Methods and systems for controlling fluid flow to a fluid consuming asset

A system for delivering a fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank comprising:

• a storage tank,
• wherein the storage tank contains the fluid to be delivered to the fluid consuming asset;
• a manifold having an inlet and one or more outlets,
• wherein the inlet of the manifold is fluidically coupled to the storage tank and is operable to allow fluid flow from the storage tank into the manifold;
• a fluid transporting mechanism having a first distal end fluidically coupled to an outlet of the manifold and a second distal end fluidically coupled to the fluid tank,
• wherein the fluid transporting mechanism is operable to deliver fluid from the manifold to the fluid tank;
• a mechanical valve disposed in the fluid tank,
• wherein the mechanical valve is fluidically coupled to the fluid transporting mechanism,
• wherein the mechanical valve is operable to restrict fluid flow to the fluid tank from the manifold when the mechanical valve is shut off,
• wherein the mechanical valve is configured to shut off when fluid level in the fluid tank reaches a first fluid level threshold;
• a first electric valve fluidically coupled to the inlet of the manifold,
• wherein the first electric valve is configured to restrict fluid flow to the manifold inlet when it is shut off;
• a second electric valve fluidically coupled to the fluid transporting mechanism and disposed between the manifold and the fluid tank,
• wherein the second electric valve is configured to restrict fluid flow through the fluid transporting mechanism to the fluid tank when it is shut off,
• a Wireless Relay Node corresponding to the fluid tank,
• wherein the Wireless Relay Node receives a first signal when fluid level in the fluid tank has reached a second fluid level threshold,
• wherein the first fluid level threshold is lower than the second fluid level threshold;
• and
• wherein the Wireless Relay Node is configured to send a second signal to selectively shut off at least one of the first electric valve and the second electric valve after it receives the first signal.
