Automated Bottom Loading Solution | Skid Extensions

Our Cost Effective Skid Extension System

IFC Inflow is at the forefront of loading skid design and installation in the UK. As new technologies have allowed batch controllers to become more durable, their use in loading skids has risen dramatically.

With the rise of future fuels and the need for change increasing, energy companies have had to realign their systems to accommodate new energy sources. Often taking the step to offer new fuel sources is a huge undertaking for companies, involving great expense and complex planning. IFC Inflow’s Skid Extension solution avoids this, expanding on the existing system to increase loading capabilities.

Our unique Skid Extension design attaches onto your existing skid, increasing your product range and loading capabilities of your site. The additional loading arm and equipment are integrated seamlessly into the existing system, meaning loading operations can be up and running with minimal training or disruption to the site.

Safety

When loading flammable products into tankers at high-speed, safety is of the utmost importance. All of our skids come with a range of monitoring and control systems to provide the highest level of protection to operators and the environment. The Skid Extension system means this level of protection can be extended to whatever new products you incorporate into your range

Durability

The entire fuel loading system is designed with longevity in mind, including high-quality weather-proofing on all electronic components. Built on the same galvanised metal frame as our skids, our skid extensions are perfect for depots wishing to invest in their future and make the most of new technology.

Fuel loading skids are configured with safety features including tanker earth monitoring, overfill protection, emergency shut off, and a thermal pressure relief system. Standard control valves installed on electronic skids can be used for many petroleum spirits and their derivatives, and when heavier fluids are being transferred, we can configure actuated ball valves to cope with the higher pressures.

All IFC skids and skid extensions are designed based on a customer’s specific needs and use case. If you are interested in our electronic skids please contact us for a no-obligation quote.
