Bottom Loading Arm with Dual Arms
Description
The dual-arm bottom loading arm provides a safe and reliable
solution for the closed-loop transfer of LPG, ammonia,
and other liquefied gases during bottom loading and unloading
operations. Designed for road and rail tankers, it ensures
secure connections, efficient fluid transfer, and enhanced
protection for both operators and the environment.
Specifications
Nominal diameter: DN50～DN150 (liquid phase), DN50～DN100 (gas phase
Design pressure: 1.0MPa～2.5MPa
Design temperature: -40℃～+230 ℃
Pipeline material: carbon steel/stainless steel/PTFE lined
Features
· Dual-arm design for liquid and vapor transfer:
The dual-arm configuration is designed for simultaneous handling of
both liquid and vapor phases. Each arm is
equipped with five swivel joints, providing excellent flexibility
and allowing the loading arm to reach tankers positioned
anywhere within the operating envelope.
· Emergency breakaway protection:
The outboard arm can be fitted with an optional breakaway coupler
to protect the loading pipeline from damage in the
event of an accidental tanker departure or emergency pull-away.
· Flexible and reliable connection options:
The loading arm can be connected to tankers via flange connection
or CAMLOCK coupling. The appropriate connection
method can be selected according to the tanker type and customer
requirements, ensuring fast and secure connection.
· Secure parking position locking:
An inboard arm locking mechanism securely holds the loading arm in
the parking position when not in operation.
· Smooth and balanced operation:
The spring-cylinder counterbalance system compensates for the
weight of the outboard arm and front-end components,
ensuring smooth and effortless vertical movement.
· Enhanced static protection:
An anti-static device effectively dissipates static charges and
stray currents generated by fluid flow through the piping system
during loading and unloading operations, improving operational
safety.
