About this industry
A tank farm is a heating problem and a metering problem sitting inside a classified area — crude and heavy fuel oils that congeal unless the tank shell and the transfer vessels hold temperature, and a loading rack where every gallon dispensed has to be counted in an atmosphere that never stops being hazardous. Prater Technical Partners supplies that layer end to end: Indeeco, Accutherm and Heatrex tank and flanged-immersion heaters that keep the product pumpable, and the Industrial Oval Gear line at the loading rack — aluminum and high-flow oval-gear meters for dispensing and batching, intrinsically safe ILR registers for the classified pump island, and the ER-500 monitor for Class I Division 1 flow on flammable petroleum lines. Prater Technical works with you to spec each one from the fluid, the flow, and the area classification.
