Liquid Process Station

Eccleston Engineering has a long-standing relationship with a multinational environmental and infrastructure engineering company.

We were asked to consider their requirement to produce a self-contained, bunded IBC process station.

The process station must fit within a standard 20ft container, process up to 4 IBCs at once, provide a working platform, and secondary containment to any spillages, up to a volume of 2,000 litres. Additionally, the station must be strong enough to withstand the rigours of loading IBCs with forklifts and provide a safe and efficient way to slide the containers across the bed – withstanding the dynamic loads arising from the process.

Eccleston Engineering designed a modular system which enabled the process station to be assembled in the container. A robust steel frame with nylon wear surfaces supported and transferred the IBCs through the process, whilst a self-balancing steel containment sump mitigated against any spillages.

Throughout the entire process we always considered the requirement to deliver this project safely, reliably and to the highest standard.
