Custom Applications Overview
OPW Engineered Systems takes pride in its ability
to custom-design and manufacture loading arms for
specialized applications. With extensive experience,
it's likely OPW engineers already have solved most
situations you may encounter. Note there are many
varying factors that impact fluid dynamics, and so
there are no hard-and-fast rules for determining
exactly what type of loader must be used in each
installation. Personal preference, operating experience
and methods, safety requirements and local customs
all warrant consideration.
In order to design a loading arm for your application,
consider the following:
e Liquid product to be handled
(Temperature and Pressure)
e Type of tank or container to be used
e Flow rate
¢ Adequate capacity without excessive
pressure drop
e Physical facility dimensions and limitations
e Adequate horizontal and vertical range
e Ease of operation
e Ease of maintenance
e Special requirements
e Cost
Within the limits of design and functionality, nothing
is “too special.” As industries have become more aware
and responsive to environmental issues,loading systems
offer a sound solution to the extremely critical process of
transferring hazardous products from bulk storage tanks
to rail or road vehicles.
All units can be factory pre-assembled and tested, and
all OPW Engineered Systems’ products are built to the
highest quality standards.
IMPORTANT: OPW products should be used in compliance with applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations. Product selection should be based on physical specifications and limitations and compatibility with the environment and
materials to be handled. OPW MAKES NO WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE. Al illustrations and specifications in this literature are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. OPW reserves the right to make
