AUREX LPG company offers complete range of equipment and design solutions for LPG terminal construction according to the most updated requirements concerning designing, safety, construction and operation of LPG terminals.

   
LPG reloading and storage termina

 

   

Modern LPG terminal consists of following standard technological components:

  • LPG delivery station ( railcar unloading / loading facility)
    Siding equipped with platform for technological equipment for gas unloading from railcars. As option, there is possibility to load into railcars on the same stations.
  • LPG compressors
    LPG compressors are used to unload railcars and recover remaining gas phase.
  • Tank yard
    Above ground high pressure tanks (mostly diked). Tanks are equipped with all necessary control and check accessories. Taking into consideration high costs of tank purchase, it is very important to properly select tank fleet volume which should provide undisturbed terminal operation during determined time).
  • Pumping station
    is designated to fill road tankers, reload gas between the tanks and to pump gas to the domestic cylinders filling facility.
  • Stations for filling and unloading of the road tankers
    This station is needed for precise and quick loading of road tankers that supply gas to the users. Optionally, there is possibility unload road tankers on the same stations.
  • Measuring devices
    Volumetric or mass flowmeters for measurement of transferred medium inside of terminal and during commercial sales.
  • Weighbridge for tank cars and scale for road tankers
  • LPG cylinders filling hall
    Equipment for filling cylinder with liquid gas. Additionally equipment for checking and repair of cylinders can be located here.
  • Terminal monitoring and control system
    That system enables operator to control all technological processes and register product movements. It allows to reduce to a minimum occurrence of emergency situations and minimize product losses.

LPG unloading / loading
Traditional solution, when supplying liquid gas to terminal is the railway transport. Siding should be equipped with platform for technological equipment from which connection to tank cars is made by means of flexible hoses or loading arms.
AUREX LPG company offers complete range of terminal equipment for unloading and loading of narrow-gauge and broad-gauge railcars.
We offer fixtures (LPG hoses with selected ends, loading arms, excess flow valves, sight glasses, ball valves , earthing devices) that can be supplied separately or as complete technological assemblies. AUREX LPG also offers folding stairs for easy access.


LPG compressor station
AUREX LPG is an official distributor of worldwide recognized and leading manufacturer of LPG pumps and air compressors: CORKEN Inc..


LPG storage tanks
Solutions of design department of AUREX LPG company allows to use storage tanks offered by our company or tanks supplied by other manufacturers.

Currently an optimal solution is tank yard with diked above ground tanks. Such solution has undoubtedly operational advantages:
. good operation conditions on pump suction pipeline;
. no necessity to apply complicated tank sprinkling system;
. decrease of required distances between tanks and other facilities in the terminal.


Pumping station
For terminals AUREX LPG company offers generally two different types of pumps which both provide many years unfailing operation: rotary vane pumps and side channel pumps.


Road tanker filling and unloading station
The station is intended to fill road tankers and as the option, unloading of LPG from the road tankers into terminal storage tanks. Station includes control and measuring devices and hoses or loading arms that are equipped with safety break-up couplings intended for connection with the road tankers. Additionally station can be equipped with:
. pump remote control system;
. automatic product metering;
. data loading system to general computer database, etc.


Measuring devices
AUREX LPG company offers two types of measuring devices: volumetric and mass flowmeters to be used in terminals.


Weighbridge for railcars and road tankers
In order to determine exact gas weight supplied or sent from terminal with railcars weighbridge is used with mass up to 100 or 150 tons. Weighing takes place prior to or after unloading and as the result of that operation real weight of delivered gas is obtained.

Determination of gas quantity loaded into road tanker takes place exactly in the same way, but with difference that in such case is used 60 tons weighbridge. Road tanker could also be filled directly on weighbridge.


LPG cylinders filling hall
AUREX LPG company is the distributor of worldwide recognized manufacturer of LPG cylinder refilling , control and repair equipment, the Danish company: Kosan Crisplant a/s.
