In partnership with a client in the Far East, Carbis Loadtec has developed a custom metering skid for liquid and anhydrous ammonia. Specifically, this system has been designed to provide a split between anhydrous and liquid ammonia over two loading bays, but it can adapt to total liquid ammonia within minutes to match customer demand.

Alec Keeler, managing director of Carbis Loadtec says: ‘Our new metering skid represents a significant advancement in the way ammonia is managed and monitored. By working with our client, we were able to create a solution that not only meets their precise requirements but also sets a new benchmark for quality and safety in the industry.’

The custom metering skid features advanced flow measurement technology, and is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and resilience in challenging environments. The design prioritises safety and compliance with international standards and incorporates multiple safety features such as emergency shut-off valves, pressure relief systems and variable vapour pressure control. This commitment to safety is crucial, given the inherent risks of handling ammonia.

The skid is equipped with sophisticated instrumentation for real-time flow rate, pressure, and temperature monitoring. This level of monitoring ensures that operators can make informed decisions quickly, reducing the risk of overfilling and optimising the export of ammonia in their operations.

In addition to its technical specifications, the metering skid is designed for easy installation and maintenance, minimising downtime and enhancing productivity. The modular design allows for flexibility, enabling clients to adapt the skid to their evolving operational needs.
