that can be held. All tanks have been designed in accordance with API 620 and offer nitrogen blanketing.

Two of the carbon steel tanks are fitted with coils for steam heating, a third is insulated for temperature-sensitive goods and a fourth tank comes with agitators to facilitate the blending of two or more products. The tanks range from 100 m3 to 1,190 m3 in size.

For other storage needs, the facility has a temperature-controlled warehouse that is able to store up to 450 drums of chemicals of varying classes. Again, flexibility for users was a main consideration for Goodrich when designing the warehouse.

DRUMS TO TANKS The facility can swiftly and safely accommodate a range of drums from the drum filling station. Depending on the product density, it is possible for up to 50 drums per hour to be filled and prepared for transport. There is also the ability to cater to tank containers, road tankers, flexitanks and more for both loading and unloading, including cross-transfer operations.

Alongside the bulk storage terminal is a tank cleaning and repair station, fully equipped to serve the needs of global tank operators, tank leasing companies and local hauliers. The tank cleaning station offers controlled washing programmes, highpressure pumps of 100 bar and spinners with a maximum capacity of 100 litres per minute to provide an exceptional clean. Goodrich’s new station follows the highest accents on safety, quality and throughput time to rank it as one of the most effective instalments globally.

Due to the wide range of vehicles using the facility, a 100-tonne capacity weigh bridge has been installed to accurately provide information and data on the mass of products in and out of the area.

Finally , a highly sophisticated and technologically evolved chemical wastewater treatment plant is on site. This equipment has the capacity to render around 60 per cent of the waste water available for reuse, lessening the environmental impact and providing cost savings. To add to the environmental sustainability of the facility, the office complex has been built in compliance with US Green Building requirements.

The Goodrich Jebel Ali integrated chemical logistics park is DCD-approved, NFPAcompliant and in the process of acquiring the highest certifications in international standards, including SQAS, CDI, OSHAS, Responsible Care, ISO 9001 and ISO 14000. Looking forward, there are no set plans for what could be done to expand the plant, but with 3,500 m2 of usable land still available in the immediate vicinity, expanding the tank capacity could well be an option.HCB goodrich.co
