Custom Loading Arm Solutions
OPW Engineered Systems takes pride in its ability to custom-design and manufacture loading arms for specialized applications. With our extensive experience, it’s likely our engineers already have solved most situations you may encounter.
In order to design a loading arm for your application, we consider the following:
- Liquid product to be handled (Temperature & Pressure)
- Type of tank or container to be used
- Flow rate
- Adequate capacity without excessive pressure drop
- Physical facility dimensions and limitations
- Adequate horizontal and vertical range
- Ease of operation
- Ease of maintenance
- Special requirements
- Cost
Within the limits of design and functionality, nothing is too special. As industries have become more aware and responsive to environmental issues, loading systems offer a sound solution to the extremely critical process of transferring hazardous products from bulk storage tanks to rail or road vehicles. All units can be factory pre-assembled and tested, and all OPW Engineered Systems products are built to the highest quality standards.
