Elevating Chemical Yard Operations in West Africa
A plug-and-play chemical injection solution that improved operational efficiency and chemical handling performance at a busy West African chemical yard.
The Challenge / Background
The customer was transferring chemicals from bulk storage tanks into multiple portable tanks, but the product was arriving contaminated with dirt and particulates. This created quality concerns and meant the chemicals being issued from the yard were not consistently clean or compliant. A reliable filtration solution was required to protect product quality across all day-to-day transfers.
The Solution
PPM engineered a portable filtration package designed to clean the chemical during every transfer from bulk tanks to portable tanks. The system was built as a compact, movable unit so the yard team could use it across multiple tank locations while keeping the process simple and repeatable.
Key elements included:
- A mobile skid fitted with an appropriate filtration stage
- Pumping and valving configured for fast, clean transfers
- Robust construction for continuous yard use
- Instrumentation to monitor flow and ensure consistent filtration performance
Delivery & Execution
PPM built, tested, and delivered the filtration skid as a ready-to-use yard asset. The system integrated seamlessly into the client’s existing transfer lines, allowing the team to deploy it immediately across different tanks without operational delays.
Outcome & Impact
The yard gained a dependable way to ensure every chemical transfer met cleanliness requirements. Contamination issues were removed, product quality was standardised, and the customer could issue clean, compliant chemicals with confidence across all portable storage tanks.
