Transloaders transfer propane from rail to tanker truck

Superior Energy Systems’ transloaders, or portable rail towers, are constructed for maximized safety and efficiency when transferring propane and other natural gas liquids between railcars and tanker trucks, according to the company. Built to U.S. Department of Transportation requirements, Superior Energy Systems’ transloaders are custom manufactured for specific applications and offer dependable transfer of product into truck transport containers in 45 minutes or less, says the company. Each transloader is trailer-mounted and compliant with NFPA 58 and NFPA 70 codes. Each includes both remote pneumatic and electronic shutdown, low-entry and high-exit pressure shutdown, pull-away protection for both the railcar and truck, and quick evacuation connections. Safety is further maximized by the use of NFPA 70-compliant electrical components, says the company.
