facilities many major shipping

lines, international oil majors and

tank terminals are supplied with

composite hoses.

Also CTS Valves has been es-

tablished, representing a Dutch

based factory for rapid valve man-

ufacturing for high end valves

suitable for severe circumstances

and service.

CTS Netherlands has shifted to

a new building in Barendrecht,

allowing further future growth of

IRPC ORDERS BACT TECHNOLOGY

CTS Thailand has secured an or-

der to supply the following BACT

(Best Available Control technique)

related products for 5 tanks

(2 80.0m diameter, 2 x 14m

diameter and 1 x 33m diameter):

• CTS40 double compression

plate seals

• CTS Leg seals

• CTS gauge pole covers

When working on reducing emis-

sions from open top (external

floating roof – EFRT) tanks it is

important to reduce emissions

from all emission sources as

found in these types of tanks.

These include the following:

• Seal and floating roof rim area

• Gauge pole and thermos well

• Roof legs

• Sample points

• Other roof penetrations

CTS has specialized itself in reduc-

ing these emissions by installing

products and systems that will

reduce or eliminate emissions of

VOC’s (volatile organic compounds)

from these sources. All of these

are classified BACT (Best Available

Control Technique) from both EPA

USA as well as from IPPC Europe.

Apart from supplying these prod-

ucts and systems CTS is also

able to monitor the performance

of these products by conducting

IR (infrared) emission measure-

ments.

All materials supplied will be in-

stalled under CTS supervision

during the first half of 2016.

Fuel oil storage represents a mas-

sive market as fuel for sea going

vessels. It is known as being very

corrosive to carbon steel, as a re-

sult of the presence of high con-

centrations of H2S, which is ex-

tremely corrosive to carbon steel

grades. Now as a result of the

superior corrosion resistance of

aluminium grades under these cir-

cumstances many steel roofs on

storage tanks have been replaced

by aluminium dome roofs

Now more and more often IFR’s

are being requested to cover Fuel

Oil and Crude Oil, raising ques-

tions on the suitability of alumini-

um for exposure to high Sulphur

concentrations for instance. Also

other contaminants as water and

Chlorides can result in very corro-

sive circumstances.

Over the years CTS has built a

vast experience on satisfactory

using aluminium IFR’s in com-

bination with these challenging

products. In particular should it

be noted that aluminium is not

attacked by hydrogen Sulphide

(H2S) or other environments con-

taining high concentrations of Sul-

phur and Sulphides. The excellent

corrosion resistance of aluminium

under these conditions has been

well documented from both in lab-

oratory tests as well as from in

service applications.

At the end of CTS we have ex-

tensive information available on

the suitability of our products in

combination with both Fuel Oil and

Crude Oil, so please consult us

on any specific requirement you

might have to reduce emissions

and/or smell from storage tanks

storing these products.

Zeeland Refinery is a joint venture company between Total and Lukoil, located in the South West of The Netherlands. CTS has been selected to install a full contact IFR in one of the Zeeland Refinery Fuel oil tanks to reduce smells from this tank. Though Fuel oil has a low vapour pressure it can still generate com-plaints as it can generate a lot of smell for the vicinity of the storage tank. To reduce this smell installing a full contact IFR is an excellent approach that also reduces product heating costs as it acts as an excellent insulator against heat loss.

VOPAK HORIZON BLACK PEARL PROJECT COMPLETED

THE VHFL TANK FARM, VIEW FROM ONE OF THE BLACK PEARL PROJECT DOME ROOFS

Black Pearl project:

The most recent terminal expan-

sion has been the Black pearl

project, where VHFL hjas decided

to realise 5 large 68m diameter

new tanks for storing Crude oil.

Given the challenging nature of the

products that can come in for any

lightweight floating roof structure it

was decided to build these tanks

having aluminium dome roofs cov-

ering a steel floating roof. This to

ensure the tanks involved can han-

dle any grade of Crude oil, while at

the same time also being able to

store the most volatile Hydrocar-

bons in these tanks as well.

Reasons to use covered floating

roof tanks:

The following reasons made VHFL

decide to realise this project for

this tank design:

• An aluminium dome is shielding

a floating roof from sun radiation

and as a result of this product

temperatures and related emis-

sions are significantly reduced

The VHFL (Vopak Horizon Fujairah Limited) terminal in Fu-jairah, UAE is amongst the largest independent tank termi-nals in the world. At one of the most important oil hubs and bunkering locations it is storing extensive volumes of all kind of hydrocarbons. Since the very beginning of the terminal all tanks have been built as API 650 atmospheric storage tanks with an aluminium dome roof, where the tanks for the more volatile products are equipped with lightweight aluminium in-ternal floating roofs. This to make sure minimum emissions are realised.

• As the steel roof will not see

any rain water loading nor be

exposed to wind a low rise sin-

gle deck steel floating roof can

be used, reducing roof height

(resulting in higher tank capacity

and lower construction costs)

• Last but not least building these

tanks as dome roof tanks allows

storing water sensitive products

and products with a low flash

point and high vapour pressure

in these same tanks as well

CTS scope of supply:

As a long standing partner for

both ENOC as well as Vopak (the

partners in the VHFL terminal)

CTS was selected to supply the

following systems and products:

• Aluminium dome roofs on slid-

ing supports, with an internal

tension ring, and equipped with

sprinkler lines to allow dome

cooling in case of an emergency

in a tank nearby

• CTS1 liquid mounted scissor

type shoe plate seal with wax

scraper, to ensure minimum

emissions while reducing wax

accumulation on the inside of

the tank

• CTS20IT secondary rim mount-

ed (and independently acting)

compression plate seal

Supported from the CTS offices in

Singapore, The Netherlands and

Bahrain all systems were installed

per early 2016.

RECOPE VALVES AND COMPOSITE HOSES ORDERS


[email protected]

Several important project or-

ders were realized for RECOPE,

amongst others for the following

products:

CTS composite hoses in various

sizes and lengths for different

terminals:

Composite hoses are hoses that

are made from multiple layers of

fabrics, supported from an inter-

nal and an external wire helix. The

inner layers ensure the tightness

and product compatibility, where

the intermediate fabric layers en-

sure the hose will deal with the

pressure required. The outer cov-

er is able to deal with a range of

circumstances and requirements,

from UV-exposure to frequently

being in contact with product han-

dled.

Over the years composite hoses

have developed into the most im-

portant loading and blending hose

in tank terminals and refineries,

given its almost universal chemical

resistance combined with great

reliability, a low hose weight (im-

proving hose handling) and great

flexibility. Even LPG and LNG can

be safely transferred using com-

posite hoses. All hoses supplied

from CTS are individually pressure

tested and certified, and have all

required type approvals. Upon re-

quest hoses can be identified with

the terminal name, and we can

also use specific hose colours to

identify hose service categories or

locations.

CTS valves for the expansion

project of RECOPE´s petrochem-

ical port named “Terminal del

Atlántico”:

The order for CTS valves consist-

ed of the design, manufacturing

and supply of ball, gate, globe and

check valves all designed to meet

ANSI & API standards in various

sizes up to 20”. CTS successfully

complied to the special coating

requirements for the valves, in

order for these to perform under

extremely harsh marine and envi-

ronmental conditions and with the

objective to guarantee a trouble

free and corrosion free life for the

valves.

CTS has implemented extensive

quality control routines through-

out the entire process from man-

ufacturing to installation of the

valves, to allow meeting exception-

al demands and requirements in

the field of industrial valves, under

the highest international quality

standards.

RECOPE (Costa Rica´s state owned oil & gas enterprise) has expressed its continued confidence in the products and ser-vices of CTS, this after CTS has been able to successfully complete several significant orders and projects in 2015. On the basis of an excellent order performance paired with high quality products CTS Costa Rica has developed as a key sup-plier to RECOPE in Costa Rica.

CTS recently has been awarded

the project to engineer and sup-

ply fourteen (14) aluminium dome

roofs and fourteen (14) alumin-

ium full contact internal floating

roofs (IFR’s) for tank diameters of

Ø42m, Ø36m and Ø23m.

The aluminium dome roofs will be

engineered with the internal ten-

sion ring and sliding supports, to

ensure aluminium dome roof integ-

rity and water tightness irrespec-

tive of any future tank settlement.

This arrangement will also ensure

minimum forces to be transferred

into the tank shell.

Full contact aluminium internal

floating roofs represent the best

available control technique (BACT)

in reducing emissions and do meet

the most stringent international

EPA and IPPC standards in this

respect. The emission reduction

from full contact IFR’s is realised

by minimising the liquid to air in-

terface, which intrinsically ensures

the emission reduction required is

achieved. Apart from that tanks

equipped with a full contact IFR

only do require firefighting facilities

suitable to deal with a rim fire, as

no full surface fire is possible with

these type of IFR’s under NFPA 11.

All full contact type IFR’s will be

equipped with liquid mounted pri-

mary shoe plate seals and rim

mounted independent secondary

wiper seals. This tank seal com-

bination will further improve tank

safety while also reducing environ-

mental impact as hydrocarbon va-

pour emissions are restricted to

an absolute minimum by using this

seal combination.

Realising this project represent

another major project for CTS,

positioning CTS as market leader

for systems and products for at-

mospheric storage tanks.

DOME AND FULL CONTACT IFR ORDER FOR BPGICBPGIC (Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Compa-ny FZC) was established in 2013 in the Fujairah Free Zone, UAE. BPGIC activities cover amongst others trad-ing and storing oil and build-ing and managing refineries. BPGIC has embarked on a project realising a terminal in Fujairah, where Phase 1 as the initial stage of the project will incorporate a mix of small and medium sized tanks representing 350,000 m3 of tank capacity.

petrol, ExxonMobil, KNPC, OMV,

Q8, TOTAL, VTTI (Vitol) and Vopak

to mention some of the more im-

portant users of this product.

EXXONMOBIL CONTRACT:

For ESSO Rotterdam (part of the

ExxonMobil refinery) a 33.5m di-

ameter tank was equipped with a

HC (Honeycomb) type full contact

aluminium IFR. The tank was con-

taining Hydrocarbons with a high

aromatic content. The order was

received per early October and the

whole project was realised before

year end, representing a very fast

turnaround time for the project.

GULF PETROCHEM CONTRACT:

Also in 2015 CTS ME has sup-

plied two numbers of full contact

HC (Honeycomb) type IFR’s for the

Gulf Petrochem terminal located

at New Hamriyah, Hamriyah Free

Zone, Sharjah, UAE. The IFR’s

were installed on 27m diameter

tanks storing Pyrolysis oil and

Naphtha.

Compliance:

All products and systems supplied

from CTS do meet all international

storage tank standards and guide-

lines such as API 650, API 653,

ASCE 7, EN 14015, EN 1991,

EN 1999, EEMUA, NFPA 11, EPA

USA, IPPC EU. We also do make

sure that we always meet spe-

cific local requirements such as

PGS 29 and VLAREM which are

representing the essential safety

requirements for The Netherlands

and Belgium.

From 1991 onward CTS has been distributing full contact aluminium IFR’s (internal floating roofs) for atmospheric stor-age tanks. These full contact IFR’s are manufactured from seal welded and pressure tested floatation elements, and have been extensively tested and certified for their emission reducing properties as well as fire safety. Manufactured from high quality aluminium grades these IFR’s represent proven BACT (Best Available Control Technique) technology and several thousands of these IFR’s have been supplied and installed on a global basis.

NWC 110M DOMES INSTALLED


[email protected]

Engineering standards and CTS’

support:

For every project there was an

extensive set of engineering stan-

dards. These included the follow-

ing design standards:

• AWWA

• API 650

• Saudi Building Code

Under these standard CTS did

not only design, manufacture and

supply the dome roofs but we also

supported the design for the steel

tanks.

Now meanwhile quite a number

of the domes ordered have been

supplied and installed, and CTS

did not only supply the materials

but also supported the projects by

mobilizing experienced supervision

and supporting installation with all

specialized tools required for the

proper installation and lifting of

the aluminium dome roof.

On the NWC Makkah and Briman

projects 110m domes have been

successfully lifted and fully com-

pleted, for the moment represent-

ing the largest free span alumini-

um domes ever installed on top of

steel storage tanks.

As CTS also designed the steel

tension ring and dome supports

that were supporting the dome

roof the lift of these impressive

domes went very smooth and al-

lowed positioning the domes im-

mediately after the dome lift was

realised.

The fact that all materials were

supplied within the agreed deliv-

ery time and that all installation

activities were realised without

incurring any LTI (lost time injury)

is another milestone for the CTS

operations in the Middle East sup-

ported from the CTS offices in The

Netherlands and Bahrain.

In 2014 CTS has been awarded several contracts for the design, supply and installation support for a number of NWC Saudi Arabia projects realising very large tanks. These proj-ects included 44 domes in diameters from 52m to 120m.

VTTI UAE CRUDE OIL PROJECT REPORT

VTTI FTL CRUDE OIL TANKS

Why use covered floating roof

tanks:

VTTI did decide to build these

tanks as covered floating roof

tanks for the following reasons:

• Emission are significantly lower

for dome covered floating roofs,

as a result of eliminating sun

radiation as well as wind influ-

ences on the floating roof

• Installing an aluminium dome

roof allows using a lightweight

aluminium full contact IFR or a

single deck steel floating roof

• When using a single deck steel

floating roof it is possible to reduce

the height of the floating roof (re-

sulting in higher tank capacity and

lower construction costs) since no

longer 10” of standing water is to

be considered as loading the roof

In 2015 VTTI UAE (FRCL) has given the go ahead on a project realising 5 new tanks for storing crude oil in the Fujairah free Zone. Giv-en the demanding require-ments related to safety and minimal emissions these 5 tanks have been designed as aluminium dome roof tanks having a steel internal float-ing roof.

CTS scope of supply:

As a long standing partner for VTTI

and the tank contractor involved

CTS was selected to supply the fol-

lowing systems and products:

• Aluminium dome roofs on slid-

• CTS30 liquid mounted compres-

sion type shoe plate seal with

wax scraper, to ensure mini-

mum emissions while reducing

wax accumulation on the inside

of the tank

• CTS Gauge pole sleeve (GPS) to

reduce gauge pole emissions

During the engineering stages

several other features were in

troduced to this project by CTS to

allow VTTI to build tanks truly rep-

resenting state of the art with re-

spect to combining requirements

for minimum vapour emissions

and maximum tank safety with min-

imum future maintenance.

Southern Johor was chosen as the

location for the project due to its

proximity to deep-water port facili-

ties and regional demand centres.

The complex will cover an area of

2,000ha, and include a crude oil

refinery and petrochemical complex

capable of processing 300,000 bar-

rels of crude oil per day (bpd). The

RAPID project refinery will produce

gasoline and diesel that will meet

Euro 4 and Euro 5 fuel specifica-

tions. It will also supply feedstock for

the petrochemical complex, which

will create highly specialised chem-

icals. The refinery will use modern

technologies to develop these prod-

ucts and follow stringent environ-

mental regulations.

Per early 2016 CTS has been

awarded a contract to engineer,

supply and to support installa-

tion of nine (9) Aluminium Domes

Roofs, covering new steel tanks.

The dome roofs will be executed

in four different diameters, as

follows:

• Ø86m (3 tanks)

• Ø45m (2 tanks, to be operated

as pressure holding)

• Ø25m (2 tanks, to be operated

as pressure holding)

• Ø20m (2 tanks)

Four (4) of these domes will be oper-

ated under pressure and (5) domes

will be operated as atmospheric. All

dome roofs will be designed with in-

ternal tension ring and sliding sup-

ports.

The dome roofs are designed in

ccompliance with all relevant in-

ternational codes, as follows:

Construction:

API 650, API 653, API 2000

Safety:

NFPA 11, ATEX standards

Emissions:

EPA, API Chapter 19

Along with contracts handled for oth-

er customers as Shell, VOPAK and

represents another important step

in reestablishing CTS as one of the

market leaders in South East Asia

for supplying products and systems

for atmospheric storage tanks.

ORPIC TANK SEAL CONTRACT FOR CTS

CTS1 SHOE PLATE SEAL DURING ASSEMBLY

From many suppliers and after a

thorough screening CTS has been

selected per early 2015 as the

preferred vendor to supply primary

and secondary tank seals for twelve

(12) external floating roof tanks to

be refurbished under the Sohar Re-

finery Improvement Project.

The seals ordered were the

following:

• CTS1 liquid mounted primary

scissor type shoe plate seal

• CTS20IT rim mounted indepen-

dent secondary compression

plate seal

To ensure that all tank seal compo-

nents would be able to withstand

the products stored ORPIC select-

ed to use an anti-static PTFE (Tef-

lon©) vapour barrier. This vapour

barrier is compatible with all known

hydrocarbons and chemicals while

also ensuring the tank seal fabrics

used are fire-safe. The latter has

been tested and certified under

DIN

For the tanks storing a more waxy

product such as Crude oil special

wax scrapers were included with

the delivered primary seals, to en-

sure minimum waxy crude will built

up on the inside of the tank shell.

This as that would not only result in

higher emissions, but it would also

be scraped off from the secondary

seal and be deposited on top of the

floating roof, introducing corrosion

and concerns on the drain sumps

becoming blocked from this depos-

its.

Additional to the supply of the

Seal System, CTS will provide the

Installation Supervision & Inspec-

tion Services for the twelve (12)

tanks.

Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Company (ORPIC) has developed plans over the past years to boost the overall ef-ficiency and productivity for Sohar Refinery by prevail over the existing technical constraints resulting from the change in Oman export blend crude quality. This will give Sohar Re-finery the ability to meet the increasing demand for oil and refined products, supporting the economic development of The Sultanate.

BAPCO CTS1-20U SEAL ORDER FOR RIVETED TANKS

CTS20U TANK SEAL TRAVELLING A RIVETED TANK SHELL

Over the years CTS has supplied

a number of customers with its

tank seals as suitable for riveted

tank shells. As CTS is also a long

standing supply partner of the Bah-

rain Petroleum Company (BAPCO)

we received an order to supply a

CTS1 liquid mounted primary scis-

sor shoe plate seal in combination

with a rim mounted independently

acting CTS20U secondary com-

pression plate seal for three (3)

tanks.

Both seals were specifically de-

signed to travel the very rough

riveted tank structure, which intro-

duces very demanding properties

to any tank seal, as visible from the

picture on this page.

Apart from supplying the tank

seals for these tanks also orders

for a total of 63 CTS Drainmas-

ter drain line joints was supplied

to BAPCO per early 2015. These

Drainmaster joints represent the

best possible technology for hose

type pipe joints present in drain

lines, as amongst others a supe-

rior ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroeth-

ylene) cover is being used for these

joints, resulting in the best possi-

ble tightness while at the same

time guaranteeing trouble free

operations and suitability of these

joints for all known Hydrocarbons

and Chemicals.

Atmospheric storage tanks have been holding extensive quantities of Hydrocarbons for more than a century now, and if regularly inspected and properly maintained these API 650 storage tanks can last for more than 100 years. Where typically these storage tanks are of a welded structure there are also many storage tanks out in the market place that are of riveted design. These tanks pose an extra challenge for floating roof seals, as these seal do have to overcome the rivets on the inside of the tank shell when the floating roof is floating up and down inside the tank shell.

SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS FOR INDUSTRIAL CARGO TRANSFER AND STORAGE

These IFR’s represent BACT (Best

Available Control Technology) and

will typically reduce emissions with

at least 97% as required under

the most stringent international

environmental codes (such as USA

EPA and EU IPPC requirements).

For this reason the IFR’s were

equipped with the following parts:

• Liquid mounted light weight scis-

sor type shoe plate seal

• Rim mounted (independent)

secondary wiper seal

• Seals on all penetrations (such

as for gauge pole and sample

point)

CTS has been distributing these

IFR’s for more than 25 years,

and we have been able to realize

an excellent track record on the

basis of meeting all relevant prod-

uct standards and by using the

following distinguishing product

features:

• All floatation pontoons have

bolted pressure test plugs

• Ends of pontoons are heavily

braced to prevent cracking at

this weld location

• All pontoons are pressure test-

ed and certified before shipping

• The IFR perimeter is extruded

as this represents the highest

mechanical strength for the IFR

All IFR’s will be installed under ex-

perienced CTS ME supervision in

the first half of 2016.

In the course of 2015 CTS ME received an order for 5 IFR’s destined for Shell Oman Marketing Company (SAOG) to be installed in the Mina Al-Fahal Depot in Muscat, Oman. This order was for supplying skin and pontoon type (non-contact) IFR’s suit-able for gasoline service, for tank diameters ranging from 14.6m to 36.5m. All tanks are storing gasoline grades.
