The SaveProSolutions transport company offers its clients the organization of delivery of any category of products - within Ukraine or to any of the European countries. One of the special types that requires constant attention and, most importantly, proper handling during transportation is liquid bulk cargo. In accordance with the customer's request and the specifics of the transported substances, a vehicle of the appropriate carrying capacity will be selected: having our own fleet of vehicles allows us to send the vehicle on the route without delay.
What are liquid bulk cargoes?
This category includes various groups of materials that are transported in a liquid state. Liquid bulk cargo transportation is invariably relevant for the following industries
- oil and gas industry - oil, gas condensates, petroleum products;
- chemical industry - solutions, raw materials, chemicals;
- Beverage or food production - oils, juices, wines, and other products to be transported from producer to consumer.
International liquid cargo transportation will be fast and, most importantly, safe due to the active implementation of modern control and tracking systems, strict compliance with applicable regulations, and improved transport logistics. The experience gained in this area will guarantee the successful delivery of even dangerous or complex cargoes that require special conditions.
Types of liquid bulk cargo
Liquid bulk cargo is transported by road on public roads. The choice of the appropriate type of tank depends on the characteristics of the substances being transported.
Food industry goods
They require strict temperature control throughout the entire journey, as well as the use of sealed containers that completely exclude contact with the external environment. In this category:
- juices
- dairy products
- wines
- oils.
Food liquid cargoes are sensitive to external influences, and any deviations from the specified standards can lead to product spoilage.
Chemicals
Various types of acids, alkalis and household chemicals require careful transportation. Specialized containers have been developed to prevent leakage. When transporting different types of hazardous chemicals at the same time, contact between them must be completely excluded.
Oil or oil products
The transport of dangerous goods requires specialized fuel tankers with temperature control to ensure that the fuel and lubricants remain in a stable state throughout the journey.
When pumping into a tanker, it is important to avoid accidental ignition due to residual substances remaining at the bottom.
Liquefied gases
The transport of liquid bulk cargoes includes the delivery of liquefied gases, including propane or butane. When working with this type of material, which has changed its aggregate state under the influence of low temperatures, it is important to constantly monitor the pressure.
Classification of liquid bulk cargo
Goods transported in a liquid state differ not only in chemical composition but also in other characteristics that need to be taken into account when organizing delivery. The following classification is in effect, on the basis of which liquid cargo is transported
- by temperature conditions;
- by the level and class of hazard (explosive, flammable, combustible);
- by destination;
- by state (liquid or viscous, paste-like).
After providing detailed information about the cargo, our managers will analyze the order in detail, which will allow us to select the type of tank and provide a preliminary price. Once all the conditions are agreed upon, international liquid bulk transport will be carried out: the truck will depart on time.
Key criteria for the transport of liquid bulk cargo
When organizing delivery, it is necessary to take into account the physical and chemical properties of materials, including
- Density. Mass per unit volume. Knowledge of this indicator allows you to correctly determine the total volume and weight so that the transport of liquid bulk cargo by tanker trucks, as well as loading and unloading, are efficient, stable, and most importantly, protected from possible risks.
- Viscosity. Characterizes fluidity. This parameter is important when choosing the right pipelines, pumps or other equipment. Materials with high viscosity require the use of specialized products to ensure a smooth flow.
- The pour point. Due to temperature control, the delivery of liquid bulk cargoes will prevent spoilage of liquid formulations.
- Volatility. Determines the tendency to evaporate under normal conditions. This is critical when handling gases or volatile substances where leakage must be prevented.
- Flash point and ignition temperature. An indicator at which a chemical composition can ignite on its own without the influence of fire sources.
- Explosive limit. Indicates the range of gas or vapour concentrations in the air when they can explode. The transport of liquid bulk cargo by road requires the calculation and control of this limit when it comes to flammable or explosive products.
- Toxicity. The degree of damage that can be caused to the environment or human health, which is important for the timely application of precautions.
Due to the knowledge of and strict adherence to these parameters, road transport of liquid bulk cargoes allows us to develop rational transportation strategies, reduce risks and ensure safety at all stages of the journey from the point of departure to the destination.
Methods of transporting liquid bulk cargo
SaveProSolutions is an expert in the industrial sector that works with dangerous goods. Liquid cargo can be transported by air, rail, but the priority is given to sea and road transport. The following types of trucks are used for this purpose
- tank trucks
- tank containers;
Depending on the characteristics of the materials being transported, containers can be selected that are resistant to high temperatures, aggressive and concentrated chemicals, and high pressure. Compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards is important for food products.
And thanks to the high level of service and the work of an experienced team, the transport of liquid cargo by tanker trucks will be safe, which is 100% compliant with international standards and the rules of current legislation.
