TRS logo Standic logo
JMEC Vlaardingen (The Netherlands):
  • Pipe stress analysis for the enlargement of the tankfarm of Standic in Antwerp.
    The design of this enlargement was based on the existing tankfarm previously designed by JMEC Engineering B.V. (a subdivision of J. de Jonge) in Vlaardingen.
    The basic design was performed by Tanc B.V.
    The insulated tanks can be cooled or heated. In addition, they have dedicated lines and pumps, avoiding cross contamination. Standic Antwerp focuses entirely on chemical products.
    The pipe stress analysis had to be performed with the same pipe stress programme as the analysis of the existing tankfarm.
