OPW Bottom Loading Systems offer numerous benefits over
conventional top loading:
- Safety of the person operating the loading arm is the
prime advantage since the operator remains on the ground, not on top of
the vehicle where falls are a common threat.
- Connections are made more quickly so overall loading
time is reduced.
- Bottom loading systems create less turbulence in the
tank, reducing the danger of generating static electricity.
- Bottom loading not only reduces vapors, which can be
an environmental hazard, but this system can also be easily adapted to
fully recover vapors displaced during loading.
- Speed is a key advantage of bottom loading because tanks
can be filled faster and a number of compartments can be loaded simultaneously.
Bottom loading islands are simpler and cheaper to build
than top loading racks. You can realize more savings because you’ll
safely load more material in a shorter time with less spillage and vapor
loss. OPW offers a complete line of equipment for efficiently loading and
unloading petroleum products, chemicals, and liquefied gases.
