With our extensive experience, it’s likely our engineers already have solved most situations you may encounter. Note there are many varying factors that impact fluid dynamics, and so there are no hard-and-fast rules for determining exactly what type of loader must be used in each installation. Personal preference, operating experience and methods, safety requirements and local customs all warrant consideration. 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. C U S T O M A P P L I C A T I O N S O V E R V I E W
