Offloading Skids & Systems: From Fuel Oil Trucks to Butane Railcars
Every unloading application presents unique challenges, but the goal remains the same: move product safely, accurately, and efficiently.
At S&S Technical, we engineer complete truck and rail offloading systems tailored to the product, operating conditions, and site requirements. Whether it's fuel oil for critical power generation facilities or butane railcar unloading at LPG terminals, a successful project requires more than just pumps or compressors - it requires a fully integrated system.
For fuel oil truck offloading, past projects have included dual-run skid packages featuring Blackmer GNX4 pumps with 30 HP motors, Endress+Hauser 4" Promass Coriolis meters, automated valves, pressure instrumentation, grounding verification systems, and Class I, Div. 2 electrical. These systems help improve unloading efficiency, measurement accuracy, and operational reliability for critical fuel storage and power generation applications.
On the LPG side, butane rail offloading systems often utilize compressors to transfer product from railcars to storage tanks. Key design considerations include industry codes and regulations, railcar unloading rack design, custody transfer metering skids, and the challenges associated with low v***r pressure butane during cold weather conditions. In many applications, v***rizers play a critical role in maintaining unloading rates and minimizing operational downtime.
From pumps, compressors, and metering skids to controls, automation, and loading rack integration, S&S Technical delivers complete engineered offloading solutions that help customers reduce project risk, improve safety, and accelerate project ex*****on.
