As technology and safety legislation develop, the petrochemical industry is shifting from top to bottom loading. This change offers many advantages. Keeping operators on the ground during loading improves safety by reducing the need for high-level access stairways and safety harnesses. Bottom loading also allows for simultaneous loading of multiple compartments, cutting down the time trucks spend in depots and increasing delivery time.
Renewable fuels are becoming more important as we move away from fossil fuels. Blending fuels at the loading point ensures homogeneous mixtures during transportation and reduces the need for tank stock blending. Chemical additives, such as marker dyes, anti-corrosion agents, and performance enhancers, are also used in fuels. Contrec tanker loading systems can work with modern additive systems to deliver the correct amount of additive to the fuel being loaded.
Contrec’s Preset Load Controllers are crucial for loading applications. They ensure fuel is loaded safely, quickly, and accurately onto road tankers, barges, and rail cars for distribution.
