Main tasks
-
To develop a technology for receiving, storing and shipping bitumen
-
To produce efficient equipment for receiving bitumen from tank trucks
-
To manufacture equipment for efficient heating of bitumen in tanks
Decision
The technological facility (bitumen warehouse) is designed for receiving bitumen from road transport, off-season storage and shipment to road transport.
The projected site includes:
- an inter-seasonal storage tank park of 6,000 m3 (3xRVS2000) with an automotive bitumen discharge and filling station, a coolant heating area, as well as technological pipelines.
The off-season storage tank park consists of three vertical steel tanks (existing, technical re-equipment) with a volume of 2000 m3 each with an oil heating system, fire protection equipment and instrumentation elements. Bitumen acceptance and shipment is provided at one bitumen discharge and filling station from automobile tanks.
The technology of the tank farm provides for long-term (off-season) storage of bitumen, followed by heating by the Kupol-200-2000 internal heating system to the temperatures of shipment to external transport. Bitumen is dispensed from tanks with a standard heating system by gravity at a temperature of at least 80 °With or a pump at temperatures of 100-120 ° C into the main volume of the working tank (equipped with the Kupol-200-2000 system).
The heat supply of the tank farm is provided by a 1.0 MW thermal oil heating station using diesel fuel.
