Bulk Chemical Storage
Complete Bulk Chemical Storage & Blending Systems for Polyurethane Processing
Comprehensive solutions for unloading, storing, transferring, blending and conditioning raw materials
We design, manufacture and supply turnkey chemical storage and blending systems for polyurethane processing. Bulk chemical storage systems can significantly reduce material costs through bulk purchasing. These systems also eliminate many of the safety issues and labor costs associated with handling drums of chemicals.
Our systems include bulk unloading stations for liquid materials delivered by tanker truck or rail car, storage tanks, transfer pumps and all necessary controls, valves, instrumentation and piping. Standard bulk storage tanks include ladder, handrails and all necessary valves and instrumentation, such as level gauges.
We also supply custom bulk chemical handling systems that include:
- Material blending with either load cells or metering pumps.
- Pentane storage systems with tanks; transfer pump; metering and mixing before the mix head; and safety systems with pentane sensors, leak detection and controls.
STORAGE TANK FARM FOR RAW MATERIALS
Bulk Chemical Storage Systems: Unload, store, and transfer intermediate to large quantities of raw materials within a closed loop. This minimizes opportunities for contamination, spills, evaporation, and exposure. Systems for larger chemical volumes include unloading stations, storage tanks, transfer pumps, controls, valves, instrumentation, safety devices, and piping.
Standard Dual Tank System Includes:
- Bulk chemical unloading boxes with hose connections, valves, gauges, and controls.
- Pressure unload for polyol and isocyanate.
- One 6,000-gallon ASME steel storage tank polyol tank (additional sizes available).
- One 6,000-gallon ASME steel storage tank for isocyanate (additional sizes available).
- Transfer pump for polyol.
- Transfer pump for isocyanate.
- Touch-screen control panel.
- Plant "loop" distribution piping.
- Check out and start up.
- Manual and drawings.
Our standard bulk storage tanks come with a ladder, handrails and all necessary valves and tank instrumentation (sight level gauges, RV, rupture disk, vacuum breaker).
Options and additional equipment:
- Pentane storage and blending systems
- Polyol tank agitator.
- Bulk unload pumps for polyol and isocyanate.
- Pressure equalization lines.
- Temperature control using heat exchangers, tempered water units and chiller.
- Installation.
- Additional tanks and tank sizes.
- Material blending systems using load cells or metering pumps.
Customized Design and Engineering:
We will work with you to design and supply a system that satisfies your building and production requirements. Our design engineers collaborate with you to determine the optimal combination of storage and blending equipment, ensuring a solution that aligns with your unique chemical and production needs.
Need Help Finding the Right Bulk Chemical Storage System?
Transfer Pumps and Temperature Control: Sensitive to temperature and flow fluctuations, chemicals in polyurethane processing require careful handling. Our pumps, equipped with variable speed drives, ensure precise transfer from storage tanks to blending or metering systems. Temperature control devices, including heat exchangers and chillers, maintain optimal conditions.
Blending Systems for Liquids and Powders: Our blending systems precisely meter and blend additives into the main polyol stream, enhancing mixing ability and reaction behavior. Choose from static or dynamic mixers and integrated gas loading units for optimal performance.
Specialized Bulk Systems for Flammable Materials: Our experts specialize in safe processing of the eco-friendly blowing agent pentane. Our Pentane Process Technology (ppT) adheres to stringent safety measures, preventing the emergence of explosive mixes. Benefit from our global experience and receive a concept compliant with national and international directives, as well as local regulations.
