Here is our latest liquid chloride bulk storage and pumping station. It is still a "work in progress". This agency furnished their own storage tanks (two 10,000 gallon HDLPE tanks, one with eductors and one without) and they constructed the cement containment area. We, Truck & Trailer Specialties, provided and installed the pumping stations (2) and the flow control & monitoring systems (2). One pumping station will easily handle two bulk tanks, in this case, the agency is considering evaluating two different chloride blends, so doesn't want them mixed together. The pumps are located under the stainless steel enclosures (look like a doghouse). Each pump is 200 gallon per minute centrifugal pump, self priming, powered by 5 horsepower, electric, single phase, 230 volt motor. Each set-up has a Y-strainer on fill circuit (from product supply tanker), and on the discharge side (pressure) has a flow meter and banjo boom valve wired to a Raven Max Flow liquid batch controller located in the gray plastic enclosures. These units are designed to monitor product being pumped off delivery truck and product being pumped into ant-ice or prewet tanks or even product applied directly to loads or to salt piles in storage sheds. You enter number of gallons desired in the controller, then the flow meter monitors gallons pumped and when the rate you selected is acheived, the controller will send signal to boom valve to shut off flow while at same time sending signal to switch shutting off electrical supply to product pump. How's that for slick? We have options for double wall storage tanks (self contained) eliminating the need for a cement containment area. The double wall tanks are much more expensive than the tanks in picture but are very much more economical than the cement containment area. Plus, self contained tanks can be moved, cement containment areas cannot. Something to consider in these financially stressful times. Please contact me with questions or concerns dealing with any liquid chloride bulk storage & pumping station. We have yet to plumb and wire this system, I'll send pictures of completed project.
