The advantages of APPLY’s Bulk Systems are
custom made design of pressure vessels with flanges fitted to the actual piping routing,
delivery of laterals including valves such that the yard is only delivering single piping sections,
calculation of piping system pressure losses and flow capacity,
use of canvas mats for efficient liquidizing of the bulk material, and turn-key supplier of automatic control systems including total instrumentation and valve packages.
See individual product information for size and weight information.
