Carbis Loadtec unveils custom metering skid for liquid and anhydrous ammonia in strategic partnership with Far East client

Carbis Loadtec, a leader in industrial equipment design and chemical tanker loading, is proud to announce the development of a custom metering skid for liquid and anhydrous ammonia, tailored explicitly for a prominent client in the Far East. This innovative solution reflects Carbis Loadtec’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art technology that meets the unique needs of the global ammonia market.

As demand for ammonia continues to grow, particularly in agricultural and industrial applications, precise measurement and handling of this critical substance is paramount. Recognising this demand, Carbis Loadtec collaborated closely with its Far East client to design a metering skid that enhances operational efficiency, safety, and reliability.

The custom metering skid features advanced flow measurement technology and is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and resilience in challenging environments. The design prioritises safety and compliance with international standards and incorporates multiple safety features such as emergency shut-off valves, pressure relief systems and variable vapour pressure control. This commitment to safety is crucial, given the inherent risks of handling ammonia.

“Our new metering skid represents a significant advancement in the way ammonia is managed and monitored,” said Alec Keeler, Managing Director of Carbis Loadtec. “By working closely with our client, we were able to create a solution that not only meets their precise requirements but also sets a new benchmark for quality and safety in the industry.”

The skid is equipped with sophisticated instrumentation for real-time flow rate, pressure, and temperature monitoring. This level of monitoring ensures that operators can make informed decisions quickly, reducing the risk of overfilling and optimising the export of ammonia in their operations.

In addition to its technical specifications, the metering skid is designed for easy installation and maintenance, minimising downtime and enhancing productivity. The modular design allows for flexibility, enabling clients to adapt the skid to their evolving operational needs. Specifically, this system has been designed to provide a split between anhydrous and liquid ammonia over two loading bays, but it can adapt to total liquid ammonia within minutes to match customer demand.

Carbis Loadtec takes pride in its commitment to sustainability and innovation. The metering skid not only promotes efficient use of resources but also supports the reduction of ammonia emissions through better management practices. This aligns with global efforts to enhance environmental responsibility in industrial operations.

As the project progresses into the final testing stages, Carbis Loadtec anticipates successful installation and commissioning at the client’s site in the coming months. This partnership is a testament to Carbis Loadtec’s expertise in custom engineering solutions and its ability to meet clients’ diverse needs across various sectors.
