    Technical Note #1: Unloading Gantry With Canopy Unloading Gantry Without Canopy

    Uploaded by

    Anoop
    The document discusses technical notes related to unloading ethanol from tank trucks. It provides details on canopy requirements, unloading pumps, vapor balancing, and metering options. The key points are that a canopy is preferable for unloading during rain to prevent water ingress, unloading pumps of 20m3/hr or higher are needed, vapor balancing or vapor recovery units can be used to control vapor emissions, and positive displacement meters are preferred over mass flow meters for measuring quantity unloaded.

    Technical Note #1

    Unloading Gantry with Canopy Unloading Gantry without Canopy


    • Preferable to have a shed for ease of unloading during the • Water ingress in ethanol is not acceptable
    rainy season.
    • Challenging to unload during the rainy season
    • Truck manhole fitting such as fill pipe cap and dip pipe cap are
    left open during unloading to allow for air intake and to check • For safe operation separate platform for loading will
    the product dip. be needed along with fall arrester system

    • In the absence of a shed, manhole fittings caps may be opened • For Night operation lighting will be required
    and dome cover may be partially lifted to avoid rainwater
    entering the compartment.

    • However above may not be full-proof and during heavy rains,


    Tank Truck unloading may not be possible.

    • For top loaded TT, Manual gauging of TT needs operation staff


    to climb on TT. Canopy can have fall arrester system to makes
    operation safe.

    • Easy access for ground through ladder and swing platform.


    Technical Note #2
    Unloading Pumps for Transfer of Ethanol from Unloading Pumps for Transfer of Ethanol from Gantry with
    Gantry with Tanks (20 m3/hr) Tanks (40m3/hr or higher)
    • Flow rate required is around 20 m3/hr. • Discharge faucet size is normally 3" (as per tank truck
    discharge faucet).
    • No velocity restrictions are there for 20 m3/hr.
    • If Two Tank Trucks are to be unloaded to the same tank, we
    can have a larger suction header line with multiple 3" tapings
    for respective BRV connections.

    • For better unloading efficiency, we propose 60 m3/hr (1


    Working+1 Standby)

    • Better utilization of unlading bays.


    Technical Note #3
    Ethanol Tank with Vapour Balancing Internal Floating Roof
    • Vapor balancing is being practiced for LPG BRVs as these • Provide IFR (floating skin) within the fixed roof tank of
    Tank Trucks are fitted with required fittings for vapor as ethanol.
    well as liquid lines.
    • By providing IFR, we eliminate/ reduce the vapor
    • RIL to confirm if Ethanol Tank Truck will be fitted with generation from the storage tank and thus control vapor
    such vapor lines. release to atmosphere during Tank Truck unloading
    process.
    • Another option will be to collect vapour from above
    ground tank and pass thro’ VRU (existing in the Terminal).
    Technical Note #4
    PD Meter Mass Flow Meter
    • Preferred as MS also being measured by the same • Flow is a derived quantity.
    mechanism.
    • Inaccuracy may be there.
    • Better compatibility between both meter.
    • No moving parts and less maintenance.
    • Chances of inaccuracy are lesser.
    • Higher cost compares to PD meter.
    • Moving parts and may have higher maintenance as
    compared to MFM.

    • Lower Cost.
