We serve customers in Europe and North Atlantic, taking industry- and customer specific requirements into account in all of our solutions.
Versatile Features for Improved Usability
KAR storage equipment can be equipped with various additional features to suit for different using purposes. All storage units can also be designed for easy relocation. They can be equipped with vehicle-mounting components, allowing transportation with a standard vehicle.
Power Source Options
The equipment can be fitted with an independent power source, allowing operation even outside traditional infrastructure. Power options include electricity, fuel, or even manual operation if preferred. An optional backup power source ensures continuous operation even during power outages.
Storage Tank Temperature Control
Storage tanks can be equipped with different temperature control systems. A heating device ensures the correct temperature in freezing conditions and can maintain high temperatures up to +250°C, a crucial feature for substances like bitumen. The heating function can be manual, automatic, or remotely controlled.
Storage Tank Monitoring and Pressure Control
Storage units can be pressurized with liquid or air, including vacuum pressure. Remote-monitoring pressure sensors and automatic pressure regulators ensure safe and efficient operation.
To enhance user-friendliness, storage tanks can also be fitted with sight glasses and cameras, allowing operators to observe liquid appearance, consistency, and levels in real time.
Emptying and Flushing Functions
An efficient emptying function makes it easy to switch between different stored liquids. This is particularly useful in applications where the stored liquid changes frequently. Compressed air or liquid-based emptying ensures fast and effective draining of the storage unit and its pipelines.
For seasonal storage, a flushing function helps prevent corrosion, biological growth, and freezing. The flushing agent, such as steam, glycol, or oil, can be manually dosed or connected directly to the storage equipment.
Reliability and Safe Storage Solutions
When operational continuity requires a steady supply of specific materials, storage equipment is an excellent solution for maintaining readiness. An optional feature can automatically place refill orders when levels drop below a predefined threshold. This ensures that the necessary substances are always available, preventing operational disruptions due to delayed fuel deliveries.
Fuel and Hazardous Substance Storage
Our storage equipment is suitable for various substances, including classified hazardous materials such as oils, acids, and bases. Typical applications include bitumen storage near roadwork sites, as well as the storage of fuels, brake fluids, and windshield washer fluids in the automotive industry. Our storage tanks are also ideal for storing chlorine used in swimming pools and hand sanitizer consumed in hospitals.
