Storage and loading
Tanker Loading System
Tanker loading system is designed to safely operate during tanker loading operations. Main features are loading of tankers from the bottom, and recovery in a closed system of vapours from the tankers.
Every bottom loading arm has an API ‘Dry Break’ coupler, which connects to an API adaptor fitted to the road tanker. API couplers conform to API code RP1004 and avoid any hydrocarbon spillage during hose connections.
The compartment vapour vents on the tanker are connected to a manifold pipe and as the compartment is filled, the displaced vapour is directed down through the tanker vapour pipe and into the rack vapour arm. The vapours are then piped away through a KO-Drum, liquid seal with blower, flame arrestor and cold flare.
