Loading skids were introduced to oil depot loading facilities as a steel frame upon which a pump was mounted to reach the top of a tanker. Industrial Flow Control utilized this very concept to develop their bottom loading arms which have greatly simplified the process of loading liquid in varied settings. The greatest beneficiaries of their solutions have been oil depots, petroleum terminals, and marine vessel fueling. IFC does not offer a one size fits all solution but provides their clients with the chance to have their loading arms customized to fit their demands.
Talking about their fall protection systems, the Chief Engineer said, “In the bulk liquid handling sector it is not uncommon to top load tankers and have operators work at heights which without caution can be very dangerous. Our fall prevention systems are built specially to reduce the risks of working at levels considered unsafe. Depending on your requirements we have both fixed and portable systems which have been manufactured in conformity to the latest health and safety regulations. The fixed solutions include loading and unloading platforms that are very easy to install and use.”
High-speed transfer of bulk liquids requires tanker unloading arms which are able to support the flow rates demands. IFC is promoting the use of bottom loading and unloading arms which are better placed for busy work environments such as oil distribution depots and terminals. The arms not only provide faster flow rates but can support multiple loading of various compartments while providing real-time monitoring to prevent overfilling. Industrial Flow Control recommends the use of the bottom loading arms as they eliminate the risks of working at heights and unsafe handling of liquids.
