FAFNIR supplier in Romania
Tank level sensors and monitoring systems
Founded in 1965 · Headquarters: Hamburg, Germany
Who is FAFNIR and what does it make?
FAFNIR is a German manufacturer of tank level sensors and monitoring systems, headquartered in Hamburg. The company develops equipment for level measurement, leak detection and fuel management in storage tanks, used mainly in the oil, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. From the FAFNIR range we can quote, to order, level sensors, leak detection systems and fuel management equipment for filling stations and industrial depots.
The range includes the VISY-X level measurement system, the VISY-Stick Flex flexible probe, the SECON-X data collection and remote monitoring platform, the COMS continuous level measurement system for oil separators, the VAPORIX system for compliance with vapour recovery regulations, the customisable TORRIX sensors for special process applications, the LS 300 and LS 500 overfill prevention system, and the VISY-RF wireless system for remote data reading. Production is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, plus ATEX quality assurance certification, and the company is a member of the CECOD and FEF trade associations.
For the Romanian market, FAFNIR makes sense at fuel filling stations, oil depots or chemical installations where tank level monitoring must be precise, certified for explosion risk zones and connected to a central inventory management system.
What do we supply from the FAFNIR range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| VISY-X Level Sensor | Sensor for continuous measurement of fuel level in storage tanks, used for inventory management and for detecting unusual volume variations. Typical application: fuel filling stations or fuel depots. For a quotation, the customer must state the depth of the tank and the type of fuel monitored. |
| SECON-X Remote Monitoring Platform | Data collection and remote monitoring platform for filling stations, with alarm functions and functions for identifying leaks, low stock and delivery data, accessible remotely from any device connected to the internet. Typical application: monitoring underground or aboveground tanks at filling stations. The customer must state the type of tank (underground or aboveground) and its volume. |
| COMS System for Oil Separators | Continuous level measurement system for oil separators. Typical application: monitoring oil separators. For a quotation, the type of separator and the type of connectivity wanted are needed. |
| TORRIX Sensors for Special Process Applications | Customisable level sensors for special process automation applications. The customer must state the application, the tank dimensions and the fluid monitored. |

How do we supply FAFNIR in Romania?
For FAFNIR, we confirm availability in the quotation — the technical information comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation, and availability is confirmed case by case at the supplier. We source FAFNIR equipment to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from order confirmation, and availability of each sensor model is confirmed in the quotation. For a correct quotation, send the type of tank, its depth or height and the fluid monitored, or the exact sensor code if you know it. We send the final price after checking the available stock for the requested sensor at the supplier.
Full software integration of FAFNIR systems with third-party inventory management platforms needs the manufacturer's specialised technical support for each case; our offer covers the equipment itself.
Frequently asked questions about FAFNIR
What is the FAFNIR VISY-X system?
VISY-X is an electronic fuel level measurement system for filling station tanks, part of the tank management platform made by FAFNIR. The system can be completed with probes such as the VISY-Stick Flex or variants with reed sensors, depending on the tank geometry and the precision wanted. It is frequently used together with leak detection modules from the same product family.
What is the difference between SECON-X and the FAFNIR COMS system?
SECON-X is a data collection and remote monitoring platform for filling stations, with encrypted data transmission and leak identification functions. COMS, on the other hand, is a continuous level measurement system dedicated to oil separators, where the quantity of accumulated hydrocarbons matters. The two solve different problems.
Do you supply FAFNIR tank monitoring equipment in Romania?
Yes, we source the FAFNIR equipment presented above to order; from order confirmation it usually takes 1–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the chosen system. We source these systems to order; product information comes from the manufacturer's documentation; availability and lead time are confirmed in the quotation. Tell us the type of tank and whether you also need leak sensors when you request a quotation.
What role does the VAPORIX system play at fuel stations?
VAPORIX helps filling stations comply with the regulations on the recovery of fuel vapours released while refuelling vehicles or unloading tankers. The system is usually integrated with the rest of the FAFNIR monitoring equipment, such as level probes and leak detectors, to give a complete picture of the station. The exact requirements vary according to local environmental legislation.
How do I request a FAFNIR quotation?
