| QUALITY CONTROL |
|
| The ultra-modern
laboratory has facilities for the analysis of all
parameters such as Flash Point, Density, Temperature,
Viscosity, etc, to guanrantee safety. The highly skilled
personnel manning the lab conduct pre-discharge tests on
products to ensure that they confirm to the approved
standard from NNPC/DPR. A separate sample room has been
provided where all the retention samples are kept for a

| THE TERMINAL |
|
| The strategic nature
of Apapa, Lagos in the downstream secotr of the oil and
gas business accounted for building of our depot at
Dockyard, Apapa, Lagos, Nigera. The location of storage
facility is unique as it has direct access to the
jetties. With all modesty, terminal remains closest and
most easily accessible to the government jetty at apapa. |
| The ultra-modern
fully automated fuel terminal has facilities that can
store 50 Million liters of petrolwum products in the
pursuit of meeting the goals of ensuring uninterrupted
supply of petrolwum products to their members. |

|
|
| |
|
| TANK FARM |
|
| There are six tanks
in the terminal with a cumulative acapcity of about 50
Miliion Liters. Three of these tanks are designated for
PMS, 2 for AGO and 1 for DPK. We also inherited 12 tanks
from Lever Brothers Nigeria Limited which have been
fully refurbished. What differentiates PMS tanks from
others is the fact that PMS tanks are Floating Roof
Tanks which ensure that there are no vapour losses and
thus falling in line with our promise of being
environment friendly. |
 |
| These tanks are
fitted with Foam Pourers and tank cooling rings, which
ensure that in case of any emergency the same can be
utlilized to put out fire and protect the surrounding
tanks. |

|
| TRUCK LOADING FARM |
|
| The terminal is
equipped wiht a fully automated 8 point gantry with all
of the them fully in operation. Loading operation is
being monitored and controlled through the Control Room
using a series of flow meters, Control Valves and Batch
Controllers. Safety devices like earth relay have been
provided to dissipate any static charge if so generated
durig the course of loading. The TLF is surrounded by
Fire Ring Network with Fire Monitors and Hydrant Points
to take care of any emergency. |
 |
| Each 33,000 liter
tanker can be loaded in 15-18 minutes, which as the time
progress we will reduce to 12-15 minutes. Hence in an 8
hour shift opertion about 145 trucks can be loading
amounting to 435 trucks daily in three shift operational
regime. |
