Overview

Efficient tank storage operations require reliable pumping technology for handling and transferring a wide range of liquid products. Operational costs, equipment reliability and service support are also important considerations when selecting a tank storage pump system.

Dekker Tankopslag B.V., a tank storage, handling and transport company operating in the Netherlands and Belgium, selected Gardner Denver SSP sanitary lobe pump systems for its expanded tank storage operations.

The solution includes SSP S5 stationary and SSP S6 mobile lobe pump systems, both equipped with special hydrocushion seals. The equipment was engineered to provide a reliable and efficient solution for handling different liquid products while supporting low operational costs.

 

Challenge: Reliable Liquid Handling for Tank Storage

Dekker Tankopslag expanded its tank farm with eight stainless-steel storage tanks, bringing total storage capacity to 22,000 m³ for liquid products across more than 100 heated storage tanks.

The expanded operation required dependable pumping technology capable of supporting the handling of a variety of liquid products.

Key considerations included:

  • Reliable handling of different liquid products.
  • Low pump operating costs.
  • Efficient stationary and mobile pumping capabilities.
  • Engineering and installation support.
  • Reliable aftersales service.

Solution: SSP Sanitary Lobe Pump Systems

Working closely with Dekker Tankopslag, Gardner Denver engineered a solution based on its SSP sanitary lobe pump technology.

The selected equipment included:

  • SSP S5 stationary lobe pump systems
  • SSP S6 mobile lobe pump systems
  • Special hydrocushion seals on both pump configurations

The combination of stationary and mobile equipment provides Dekker Tankopslag with flexibility for different liquid-handling requirements across the tank storage operation.

Low operational costs, together with Gardner Denver's engineering, installation and aftersales service, were decisive factors in Dekker Tankopslag's equipment selection.

 

Supporting Liquid Foodstuff Transport

In addition to the SSP lobe pump systems used by Dekker Tankopslag, Dekker Transport selected STP tanker pumps combined with GD175 liquid compressor systems.

These systems are used for unloading liquid foodstuffs including lecithin and chocolate, extending the use of Gardner Denver liquid-handling technology across the wider Dekker operations.
