Tank Storage Asia, the leading event for the Asian bulk liquid storage industry, reports that exhibitor bookings are currently 50 percent up on this stage last year. Many of these exhibitors are using the show, which returns to the Marina Bay Sands on 29 & 30 September 2015, to launch new technologies, ideas and concepts.
Singapore based Dynaglass Reinforced Plastic, will introduce its new Vap-O-Loc GRE Internal Floating Roof. It incorporates a hermetically sealed rigid wall that extends around the edges of the sandwich core construction. The honeycomb core sandwich panels are made from polymer composite material, consisting of millions of air pockets, locked in individual cells, making it virtually impossible to sink. It also reduces levels of volatile hydrocarbon emissions by over 95%.
Valve Concepts will be using the show to present its Model 1078 Blanketing Valve, a pilot-operated valve, specifically designed to reduce blanketing gas losses on low pressure storage tanks. It opens and closes automatically, as required, to maintain a closely controlled blanket pressure. The design is simple; it increases reliability and also lowers maintenance costs.
Concrete Canvas will showcase its flexible concrete impregnated geotextile, which hardens on hydration, to form a thin, durable, fibre reinforced concrete layer. It is low mass and low carbon technology, which uses up to 95% less material than conventional concrete. It is predominately used for above ground drainage applications. It can also be used for hard armour capping of earth bunds around oil refinery tank farms, munitions depots and flood defences.
Those interested specifically in the building and dismantling of tanks will not want to miss out on Bygging Infrastructure’s stand. On display will be its tank lifting and tank welding equipment, including its climbing jacks, which have individual capacities of 12 ton, 18 ton and 25 ton. These jacks come with a ‘lifting hook’ instead of a lifting arm, which holds and lifts the tank shell from the bottom edge of the plate. The welding of lifting lugs and fend-off lugs is eliminated, so there is no need to test and repair shell plates after removing the lugs.
DNR Process Solutions will be exhibiting its latest terminal management system, Fuel Track. It’s a state-of-the-art bulk terminal resource planning and execution system, designed to effectively manage the complete business workflow of the terminal trading and leasing business environment. The complete single-platform solution helps terminals, depots and plant owners maximise profits by optimising operations efficiency, thereby increasing revenues and decreasing costs.
Fort Vale will be presenting its MK3 Safeload semi-automatic bottom loading coupler. It is the only coupler on the market to have an extended ‘wrap around’ trigger design that follows the profile of the loading adaptor, covering over 60% of the adaptor circumference. This unique feature ensures the maximum safety and security of connection between the adaptor and coupler, reducing the risk of product leakage. The increased surface area contact, in comparison with conventional narrow triggers, significantly reduces wear to both the triggers and the adaptor, which prolongs the serviceable life of both units.
Energy Solutions International will be showcasing PipelineOptimizer, its offline software package used for pipeline engineering and planning. It allows companies to save time, power and money by operating more efficiently and effectively. It performs accurate pipeline simulations to analyse the effect of various pipeline routes, pump station locations, pump unit selections & configuration, and pipe properties, using a succession of steady-state models that accurately describe pipeline physics in non-transient situations.
Scanjet, the world’s leading supplier of tank cleaning and tank management systems will be introducing its SC 60A. It is an advanced tank cleaning nozzle system, which is specifically designed for crude oil tanks, where tank entry is limited. The SC 60A has the ability to enter the tank, via the support legs on floating roof tanks, as well as through other openings that may be available on the tank. It can also be programmed for specific cleaning patterns.
More than just an exhibition, Tank Storage Asia 2015 has more content than ever before, with a whole host of leading authorities in the sector discussing many of the region’s critical issues, including falling oil prices, storage developments in Greater Singapore and extending the life of a tank. The big names speaking include Yaw Yan Chong, Head of Oil Research & Forecast at Thomson Reuters Singapore, Rajiv Biswas, IHS Chief Economist at Asia-Pacific and Tan Wooi Leong, Vice President for Oil and Gas at Jurong Consultants.
Tank Storage Asia takes place on 29 & 30 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. For more information on visiting the exhibition, booking as a delegate for the conference or becoming a media partner, please call +44 (0)20 8843 8800 or visit the event website: www.tankstorageasia.com.
