Sea-Tank Terminal: Safe storage tanks
In the port of Antwerp, Arizo is a partner for numerous companies. At Sea-Tank Terminal, our accredited gas experts play an important role in the safety policy.
Sea-Tank Terminal is active in the storage and handling of liquid products and provides services to the petrochemical and related sectors. The company is aware of the dangers of confined spaces such as storage tanks, where high concentrations of harmful gases can build up.
This entails a twofold danger. Elewout De Troyer of Sea-Tank Terminal: “Whoever enters the tank runs an increased risk, but there is also a potential fire hazard when work is being carried out in the tank.”
Arizo’s accredited gas experts or ‘marine chemists’ ensure that business activities in the port are carried out with due care and in accordance with the statutory rules.
As part of the risk analysis, the marine chemists also take air samples from cargoes whose risks are unknown or insufficiently known. Arizo’s in-house lab analyses the samples and determines the appropriate safety standards to correctly direct the manhole or fire watch.
Safety first
The particular risks in the petrochemical industry require safety to come first. This keeps risks to a minimum. That is also the case at Sea-Tank Terminal. “After all, we want everyone who is here to be able to return home safely in the evening,” concludes Elewout De Troyer.
