Safety purges with inert gas such as Nitrogen generally involve purging the system volume 8 times to ensure that the system is safe from a flammable atmosphere. Applying this principle you can calculate the time for purging based on your Nitrogen rate.

Hi Ankur or anyone who knows,

I am working for a project in Oman and we have been using permanent / fixed marine loading arm in our design for the jetty. However, the client wants to convince the port authorities why we are not using those mobile marine loading arm. Is there any operational, safety and environmental impact using mobile marine loading arm?

Please help

Thank you

Lim,

Mobile marine loading arms are relatively a new concept. Any information on operational/safety/ environmental issues can only be provided by manufacturers or operators of such loading arms. Some links are provided below:

Hi Ankur or anyone who knows,

This is mugesh kanna from tuticorin. I thank you for sharing the knowledge regarding Marine Unloading Arm. It would be much helpful for me if you could share some details regarding the Cargo stock calculations and the formula for calculating the ASTM density and Volume Reduction Factor.

Thank u,

Probablemente deba propiciar el inicio de un proyecto para el reemplazo de varios Brazos de Carga en el terminal de Embarque, Diámetros de 8 y 10 pulgadas, para manejar crudo y productos blancos. Los que están actualmente son EMCO WHEATON pero de muy vieja data y obsoletos. Agradecería cualquier información relacionada a este tema. Son en total 20 Brazos de carga. Saludos cordiales
