More capacity thanks to the new storage tank for Isocyanate

KEIL Anlagenbau has set up a new storage tank with a volume of 68 m³ for the company NORBORD Ltd., a producer of wood-based materials in the UK. The entire tank equipment as well as the pipeline system have also been delivered by KEIL Anlagenbau.

The specific requirement is how to discharge Isocyanate safely from the tank trucks via a filling pump unit into the storage tank and to convey it to the production hall by means of another pump station. In addition to this, a circular line with electrical trace heating is part of the equipment pumping Isocyanate in a circulatory system, as long as the raw material is not required for the process. An operating panel, switch cabinet and process control also belong to the scope the delivery by KEIL Anlagenbau, and these have been put into operation.

The facility was entirely developed and erected in compliance with the requirement to place the new storage tank in an existing hall between tanks that are already standing there. The tank had to be installed through the hall roof – quite an extraordinary challenge considering the size of the tank! KEIL Anlagenbau finished the mission with success: In the meantime, NORDBORD has been able to expand its capacities by means of the new MDI storage facility and to enhance its production line.
