The IFC range of Bottom Loading Skids are self-contained units designed for flow rates of over 2500 l/min per arm. Each skid component is carefully chosen to match the desired flow rate and loading geometry required. The units are constructed from treated mild steel and supplied direct to site in a fully assembled condition ready for bolting down onto prepared foundations. Brand new sites and terminal upgrades are equally well served with this method of construction and real savings can be found in both time and on-site engineering costs. The standard configuration is for single-side loading with up to 5 product lines. Also offered is a modified system for dual-side loading, which is ideal for tightly spaced depots with high throughput.
Bottom Loading
The IFC Ranger is a new API Bottom Loading Arm offering full cross-over capability and flow rates up to 2500 l/min. This is the only UK designed and manufactured loading arm available and customers can be assured of full technical sales and service support.
