STORAGE TERMINALS
This uses Adisa products for single-skin tank applications and the DOPA®
product
range for creating double skin tanks with leak detection technology for compliance with EN 13160, Class 1. This provides targeted corrosion prevention for non-pressurised (atmospheric) underground tanks that store hazardous liquids, including automotive fuels and chemicals. The DOPA system can also be used in flat bottomed and aboveground storage tanks where continuous monitoring and additional environmental protection are required. Fire prevention specialist Protego will
once more be in attendance and is likely to have its new deflagration- and endurance burning-proof valves, VD-SV-EB and D-SVL- EB, on show. These units are designed for use as safety devices to protect against the transmission of flames during tank breathing and in containers and process engineering apparatus. Hose supplier Dantec will be back
again in Coventry, for the first time since the acquisition of a majority shareholding in the company by Elaflex. “Elaflex and Dantec
VISITORS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE SOME INNOVATIVE TANK LININGS ON SHOW IN COVENTRY
complement each other perfectly and will be working together to enhance the product offering available to their global customer base through shared research and development as well as product manufacturing excellence,” said Dantec at the time of the announcement in March 2016.
FRESH FACES
Among names perhaps less familiar to some visitors to the TSA show will be Advanced 3D Laser Technologies, which uses laser scanning and other technologies to provide terminals with an accurate picture of their assets (see page 38). California- based Baker Corp will be on hand after further expanding its network of branch offices in Europe, and will explain its range of customised equipment rental solutions for the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. Norfolk-based Corroless Eastern will
have its team in Coventry to present its range of tank linings, particularly those designed for a wide range of chemicals. Corroless is unusual in that it offers a variety of coatings and linings from different suppliers, so can provide the right lining for the job, whether it be epoxy, polyurethane, polyurea, vinyl ester or cementitious. Piling and ground engineering firm Keller will be at TSA, having recently put in place
the Step Forward programme to encourage staff to contribute to improving safety, quality and efficiency in all areas of operation. The programme is already bearing fruit, according to UK managing director Bob Thompson, with some innovative ideas being put forward. Not all exhibitors will arrive at the Ricoh with lumps of steel and concrete. Among the exhibitors are a number of safety clothing suppliers, including respirator specialist Semmco and Hazchem Safety, which offers a range of flame-retardant clothing alongside work boots, gloves, spill control equipment, safety signs and a whole host of other consumables. This article has provided the merest
sketch of what visitors to the Tank Storage Event will experience. And by concentrating the event into a single day, visitors will be able to keep their travelling costs down. HCB will of course be at the Ricoh for the day, with copies of this issue of the magazine available for all, and will report back on the conference proceedings and items of interest around the exhibition hall in our forthcoming November issue.
