Storage of Petrochemical Products at Enterprise Terminals

We operate specialized storage and transfer systems for a wide portfolio of petrochemicals—olefins, aromatics, solvents, glycols, and intermediates. Facilities are engineered for product compatibility, tight emissions control, and fast, documented turnarounds.

Dedicated tankage by class (flammable, corrosive, toxic) with lined/SS options.
Temperature and pressure management to preserve stability and purity.
Real-time inventory, custody-transfer metering, and batch traceability.
Secondary containment, VRU/VCU, and emergency response capability.

Petrochemical tanks and manifold systems

Product Segments & Indicative Specifications

Olefins & Aromatics

Ethylene/Propylene: Refrigerated/pressurized systems; dryness & purity controls.
Benzene/Toluene/Xylene: Floating roof tanks; sulfur & gum limits per spec.
Styrene/Butadiene: Temperature-managed; polymerization inhibitor dosing.

Solvents & Intermediates

Methanol, Acetone, MEK, Toluene, White Spirit, etc. (SDS-driven compatibility).
Conductivity control, water content monitoring (e.g., Karl Fischer for alcohols).
Material selection: SS316/Lined CS where corrosivity requires.

Glycols & Derivatives

MEG/DEG/TEG with heating coils for viscosity control; nitrogen blanketing.
Acid number, color, and moisture are monitored per contract specs.

Compatibility & Materials

Tanks: Carbon steel, rubber-lined, or SS depending on product class.
Seals/Gaskets: Product-rated elastomers; double-seal roofs for volatiles.
Instrumentation: Radar level, temp strings, gas detection where applicable.

Petrochemical laboratory testing and QA — Batch QC: purity/moisture, color, inhibitor content, and third-party verification.

Operational Safety & Compliance

Process Safety: Overfill prevention, pressure/vacuum control, inerting as required.
Fire Protection: Foam systems, fixed monitors, hydrants, and emergency isolation.
People & PPE: Chemical-rated PPE, work permits, and gas testing protocols.

Integrity Management: API 650/653 programs, lined/SS inspections, NDT.
Regulatory: SDS, hazardous area classification, ADR/IMDG/IMO compliance.
Training: Competency programs for sampling, gauging, and transfers.

Efficient Handling & Distribution

Terminal Flows

Marine receipt via deep-water berths; pipeline tie-ins and truck/rail loading.
Custody-transfer metering with prover loops; additive/inhibitor injection.
Dedicated manifolds and flush protocols to prevent cross-contamination.

Customer Programs

Dedicated tanks/lines by product class and purity.
Digital portals for visibility, slot booking, and ePOD documentation.
Blend-to-spec and inhibitor maintenance campaigns with lab support.

Petrochemical loading racks and manifolds — Metered, vapor-managed transfers across marine, rail, and truck modes.

Sustainability & Environmental Controls

Emissions: VRUs/VCUs; LDAR for fugitive management; vapor-balanced loading.
Spill Prevention: Bunds, interceptors, and rapid response & cleanup plans.
Waste Streams: Off-spec, slops, and washings handled via approved routes.

Energy Efficiency: Pump curves matched to duty; heat integration where applicable.
Water Protection: Controlled discharge with continuous monitoring.
Transparency: ESG KPIs and periodic audit reporting.
