A’Hoy Matey! Ethanol Contamination Emergency Solved!
Recently, a ship loading terminal that transports ethanol encountered a fluid contamination emergency. Luckily, the entire operation was saved with an emergency filtration system and a permanent in-line filtration system. During the loading process, the fluid samples started showing signs of particulate/dirt. Upon further inspection it was discovered that all of the terminal’s holding tanks were contaminated. This was devastating to all aspects of the business, causing much congestion and frustration as rail cars started piling up, ready to be off-loaded, but unable to do so because of the hold-up.
In order to solve the emergency as soon as possible, we moved a high-flow mobile filtration system into place on a Sunday and the terminal was back to business with passing tests by Monday! In addition, in order to protect the tank and everything downstream in case of future product quality upsets, we designed and installed an in-line filtration system with a flow rate of 15,000 GPM and 20-inch, ASME 150-lb. flange inlet/outlet connections.
