Tank Farm Systems for a Reliable Raw Material Supply
Store. Protect. Deliver.
Tank farm systems cover everything from receipt of the raw materials to the production line. They unload, store, condition, and transfer all raw materials – even in large industrial volumes – while process parameters are centrally monitored and automatically controlled. The result is a supply of raw materials that is always available in the required quantity, at the correct temperature, and with consistent quality.
Investing in this infrastructure provides greater planning security. Adequate storage capacity helps protect against volatile raw material prices and supply chain bottlenecks, while closed systems prevent contamination and ensure consistently high quality of the end product. Together, these benefits safeguard your return on investment throughout the entire life cycle of your production facility.
From the Tank Truck to Processing
-
Tank Farms
Our systems include unloading stations, storage tanks, transfer pumps, controls, valves, instrumentation, and safety equipment. Tanks can be installed vertically or horizontally and operated as atmospheric or pressurized systems. They are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, or specially lined configurations. Standard features include magnetically coupled isocyanate pumps, radar level measurement, and overfill protection.
-
Unloading Stations
Our unloading stations safely receive liquid raw materials from tank trucks or rail cars. Lockable station enclosures protect valves and couplings from unauthorized access and incorrect connections. Depending on material viscosity and transfer distance, unloading is carried out using transfer pumps or pressure conveying with dry air or nitrogen. Comprehensive safety systems ensure the protection of both personnel and the environment.
-
Transfer and Temperature Control
Variable-frequency pumps automatically adapt to different viscosities and transfer rates. A closed-loop temperature control system – featuring heat exchangers, temperature control units, and cooling systems or ice storage – maintains consistent process temperatures and material delivery rates all the way to production.
-
Flammable Materials
We provide systems that comply with the most stringent national and international explosion protection standards for highly flammable blowing agents such as pentane. Double-wall safety tanks, hermetically sealed pumping systems, and an independent decentralized safety control system featuring pentane detectors, air exhaust systems, and continuous leak monitoring reliably prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres.
Bulk Storage
We supply both standalone solutions and fully integrated tank farm and production systems from a single source. This eliminates interface issues, shortens commissioning times, and creates a solid foundation for long-term service and process optimization.
