Tanks & Tank Equipment AIUT, in association with authorised sales & distribution partner Telemetry Partners, will be showing their innovative range of ATEX approved wireless tank level monitoring products. Due to their wireless nature and extended battery life the products are respected the world over for their ease and speed of installation and reliability. The partnership will also be launching FuelPrime – a user friendly total fuel management solution for forecourt operators that automates data collection from forecourts and allows reconciliation of deliveries against supplies, and pinpoints potential losses. telemetrypartners.co.uk “Oil is the best fuel for heating homes in the UK yet it faces continual hostility from environmentalists,” says ATKINSON EQUIPMENT’s Peter Carter. “Today’s oil burners are clean and efficient and have many advantages over rival fuel appliances. To protect the future of oil heating I believe that as an industry we need to demonstrate that we comply to best practise, as laid out in the Environmental Agency’s recommendations on bunded tanks, top fill and top outlet with anti-syphon valve. This would remove any possible criticism that could be laid at our door. Atkinson Equipment has developed and manufactures the TANKTOP – an all in one top off take system complete with anti-syphon valve. atkinsonequipment.com FuelPrime – a user friendly total fuel management solution for forecourt operators ALLIED STORAGE TANKS was recently called out to inspect a customer’s 10 million litre light oil storage tank. An external inspection highlighted that remedial action to the roof was needed sooner rather than later, particularly as the tank was required urgently for an imminent shipment of oil. An internal tank inspection normally requires the installation of interior scaffolding but Allied Storage Tanks was able to carry out a visual inspection of the roof in one day by cold cutting the roof to allow a man rider basket inside. The structure proved to be sound and within three weeks the entire roof plates of this 30 metre diameter tank, the roof manways, nozzles and the complete periphery handrails had been replaced, all in good time for the delivery. alliedstoragetanks.co.uk TANK TOP – “We have bunded tanks and top fill so why don’t we have top offtake?” Getting on top of the job at Allied Storage Tanks COOKSON & ZINN is one of the UK’s foremost suppliers of above and below ground storage tanks. For nearly 60 years the company has provided high quality products to an increasingly diverse range of customers. The company’s expertise covers cylindrical tanks, many of which are manufactured using a semi-automated process which provides consistent build quality and welding processes. Alongside this the company has a more hands-on team of highly trained and skilled fabricators who provide the expertise required for more complex products. With a growing client base, Cookson & Zinn supplies bespoke built tanks from 5,000 to 250,000 litres capacity and with a selection of configurations and orientations. czltd.com Fuel Oil News | April 2017 49
