Proven Keil system for the safe storage of pentane now also in Tanzania

For the production of insulating foam for pipelines, Keil Anlagenbau has been awarded the contract to supply a storage system for pentane including safety equipment. The pentane will be used for the production of PU foam for the insulation of an oil pipeline from Uganda to the coast of Tanzania.

The oil deposits, which were discovered at Lake Albert in Uganda in the early 2000s, are now being developed after extensive planning and are to be transported to the country's coast via pipeline for export.

Keil is supplying a completely pre-assembled 40,000 litre pentane tank including pumps, equipment and piping, which will be installed on site in Tanzania by the customer. Supervision of the work will be carried out by a Keil project manager and an automation engineer on site.

Production will start as early as summer 2023.

The Keil Anlagenbau team is looking forward to this exciting project with an unusual location.
