The company ARAKO spol. s r.o. dispatched gate valves for the 1st phase of construction of the largest oil terminal PERN in Poland. During previous weeks, 22 pieces of shut-off gate valves of DN 800 were delivered and nowadays they are already installed on the pipeline of the Gdansk seaport terminal to be used for transshipment and storage of oil, fuel and chemical products.
„We greatly appreciate the cooperation with companies PSJ Hydrotranzit and IDS-BUD S. A., whose association provides the the first phase of the PERN project in project and technical terms. 6 steel oil tanks in total are beeing built within this phase, each with a capacity of 62,500 cubic meters,” Mrs. Radmila Zamykalová, ARAKO Sales Manager responsible for the project, says. „We believe that together with our partners we will participate in the construction of the second phase as well, where no fewer than 10 oil reservoirs will be installed.”
DN 800 gate valves are the largest valves that have ever been made in the ARAKO plant. The gate valves are made of cast material, their operation is ensured with electric actuators and their height (including the acutator) is 4 meters! The participation in this exceptional project constituted a challenge to ARAKO, which the company responded adequately and proved that it still belonged to the key European players in the field of industrial valves for the petrochemical industry.
For information:
The construction of the crude oil terminal PERN is under way in the Polish port of Gdansk on an area of almost 30 hectares and the total investment will amount to about CZK 5,369 mil. The main investor of the project is PERN Przyjaźń SA, the leading company in the transportation of crude oil on the Polish market. The Slovak-Polish-Ukrainian consortium led by the company IDS-BUD became the contractor of the project.
The length of the construction has been set for 32 months and includes the installation of appropriate technological pipelines, oil and fire water pumping stations, including the complete fire protection system, technical facilities, sewage treatment plants and all the infrastructure. Implementation of the first phase will be completed by the end of this year and the second phase of construction will be completed in 2018.
