Portable rail towers built to U.S. DOT safety requirements,
transfer up to 10,000 gallons of product in less than 30 minutes
COLUMBIA STATION, Ohio — Superior Energy Systems’ transloaders, or portable rail towers, are constructed for maximized safety and efficiency when transferring propane and other natural gas liquids (NGLs) between rail cars, tanker trucks and bulk plants. Built to U.S. Department of Transportation safety requirements, Superior Energy Systems transloaders are custom-manufactured for specific applications and offer dependable transfer shipment – up to 10,000 gallons of product in less than 30 minutes.
Superior Energy Systems will display a transloader at the National Propane Gas Association Southeastern & International Propane Expo, April 4-6 at the Charlotte (N.C.) Convention Center. The transloader will be shown in the company’s booth, #644, and features remote emergency shutdown, four leveling jacks for stability, a Corken compressor and the ability to customize based on customer needs such as a generator power source or specific stingers and gangways.
“Superior Energy Systems has built its reputation on finding efficient, cost-effective and safe ways to move propane and other natural gas liquids, making it easier for propane marketers to access the product,” said Derek Rimko, Superior Energy Systems’ vice president of operations. “Our transloaders are just another testament to our constant state of research and innovation.”
Each transloader from Superior Energy Systems can be chassis- or trailer-mounted and is complaint with all applicable National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) codes, including NFPA 58. Each includes both remote pneumatic and electronic shutdown; low-entry and high-exit pressure shutdown; pull-away protection for both the railcar and truck; and quick evacuation connections. Safety is further maximized by the use of explosion-proof components and quick evacuation connections.
