South African Navy Fuelling Installation – Simon’s Town – South Africa |
||||||||||||||||||||
The IPP Group was commissioned by the SAN to design a fuelling reticulation system toreplace their antiquated system. The client had no real idea what he wanted, therefore IPPGroup had to propose options of a recommended system from which the client would select the preferred option. Once the client had selected the options the final design was put together.IPP Group as the designers where also appointed as project managers and consulting engineers. Supply of equipment was also required.The IPP Group had also to design and supply the complete fire system. |

| Project Details A fifty year old fuelling system had come in a state of disrepair, and the SAN commissioned the IPP Group to redesign the complete fuelling system. During the design phase emphasis had to be given to how much of the old system could be reused or incorporated into the new design. It turned out that only the storage tanks and the diesel driven fire pump could bere used, while all other equipment had to be written off due to the state of the equipment and also the inability of this equipment to be incorporated in the new control system and the equipment to perform to the required duty. The complete fuelling operation was designed in such a way that large supply ships using150mm (6”) fillers could be bunkered or de-bunkered by two men, namely one in the control room using a SCADA computer to control the process and one at the ship to connect andsupervise the operation from a safety point of view. The quality of fuel supplied to the shipsis 0% moisture with suspended solids of >1 micron. Further this system would need to have the ability to supply In shore Patrol Vessels, capable of taking a reduced rate of fuel perminute. The fire system provided included is novel, in the sense that the pump house has a fire suppression system, designed to detect and put out a fire in its incipient stage, thus protecting the equipment from any major damage in case of fire. The foam system installed is non conventional, in that the foam is completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly, with a knock effect that is unheard of in all conventional foams. A further advantageis the shelf life of the foam rated at 15 years. (Read: REFERENCE IN RESPECT OF THE USE OF PETROPLAS PIPING FOR DIESEL)

Energem’s Malawi Feul Depot |
||||||||||||||||||||
A location in Blantyre Malawi (East Central Africa) was identified for a fuel depot by Energemof Canada. IPP Group was contracted to do the design, supply and installation of the fuelling system. |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Details : UST’s that had been bought new, and later abandoned on the property had to be revamped on site. More tanks where brought in and interconnected. A complete depot was then established with both UST’ and AST’s. A semi automatic system was set up with a gauging system, and the project was built on time and on budget. |
