Chemical Tanker Loading Arm

Chemical Tanker Loading Arm by Carbis Loadtec transfers all liquids when filling and emptying road and rail tankers.

Chemical Tankers have either top-fill or bottom-fill connections. The majority fill from the top and empty from the bottom. Tanker loading can take the form of top filling via an open manhole, with the displaced vapours routed and returned to the operator for disposal. Top filling and closed-circuit loading also incorporate flanged or dry-disconnect connections on the tanker top for dangerous liquids. Lastly, bottom filling is done with or without vapour return.

Ground-level filling and emptying of tankers are increasing, and Carbis Loadtec has a wide experience and range of Chemical Tanker Loading Arms to make this operation safe and clean.

Environmental concerns and Health & Safety legislation have combined to make the tanker filling process a far more restrictive action in recent years. Close attention by Carbis Loadtec to these aspects allows us to design safe and clean systems that meet all the necessary constraints.

Chemicals are classified on this website as any liquid (with the exception of LPG) which is not combusted for the purpose of propulsion or heat. That leaves everything from water to sewage, perfume to cyanide, asphalt to whisky and combinations thereof.

The specifications for the Chemical Tanker Loading Arm are very wide and varied. They depend on whether the liquid is toxic, corrosive, flammable, edible or pharmaceutical. In any case, Carbis Loadtec can provide solutions for your Chemical Tanker Loading problems.
