Caustic Delivery System

We were tasked by one of our industrial clients to provide the electrical installation to for a Caustic storage and delivery system.

Our remit was to install containment, as required, to carry the associated cabling, which included both instrumentation, power and control.

The project included the installation of SAAB radar tank gauges onto two 3,000 tonne storage tanks. These were connected to the on-site tank monitoring system. We also carried out the installation of an “Accuload” tanker loading system to enable the measured delivery of the product to road tankers.
In order to ensure safe areas for operationals staff, new lighting was installed including an energy saving control panel. The lighting covered access and egress routes and along with areas where increased light levels were required for operational purposes.
Due to the nature of the product, it was necessary to install a local safety shower complete with emergency lighting and trace heating.

Although this particular project did not fall within the requirements set out in DSEAR or for electrical equipment installed within explosive atmospheres, it was decided that the installation should be installed with Hazardous area equipment and cable termination glands, to meet the current EN60079 requirements, as this would allow the client to easily change their product with a relative ease.

Following the installation, a Detailed Operations and Maintenance manual was submitted along with relevant test sheets, that included those issued by one of our COMPEX trained engineers. Asset data information was also submitted along with as installed drawings in AutoCAD DWG format.

From a simple phone call I am assured the work will be carried out efficiently and without fuss, be it for reactive repairs or simply to quote on major or minor works. I immediately receive a confirmation from the KDE office with the time and date when someone will attend our site, which enables us to make arrangements with our staff and gives us peace of mind.”

“I have been working with KDE for over 2 and a half years now and I have never had any issues with them. They have accommodated my needs with both planned and reactive works, bending over backwards to deal with my requests. All our planned maintenance is scheduled with good time, every appointment is booked to suit our customers and I receive an appointment confirmation over email. KDE always communicates well with our customers and provide appropriate documents that are both left on site and sent to myself. The quotations and/or extra works are always detailed and explained well along with a very competitive charge regardless of whether the job is reactive, or planned.”

“We have worked with KDE for many years now and they have always provided a highly professional level of service.

“KDE is one of our main sub-contractor suppliers. The team is excellent at communicating to our helpdesk and lead officers on projects. Reactive response calls are dealt with effectively and efficiently within our strict key performance indicators with updates and work completions received daily by our helpdesk, which enables us to update our clients. Out of hours responses are also excellent and KDE goes above and beyond to support us.”
