Phosphoric acid transportation is a service that requires precise preparation, specialized transport and strict compliance with international requirements for handling dangerous goods. Save Pro Solutions company offers professional solutions for transportation of phosphoric and orthophosphoric acid in bulk and in containers within Ukraine and from European countries.
What is phosphoric acid and why its transportation requires a special approach?
Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, H₃PO₄) is an inorganic chemical compound with strong corrosive properties. The substance is included in the list of dangerous goods and is classified as ADR Class 8. Even in brief contact with metals or organics, phosphoric acid can cause destruction, making its transportation particularly sensitive.
Phosphoric acid is widely used in:
- production of mineral fertilizers (superphosphate, ammophos);
- food industry - as food additive E338;
- metallurgy - for cleaning and passivation of metal surfaces;
- production of anticorrosive coatings and fire-resistant materials;
- pharmaceutical and medical industries.
Organization of phosphoric acid transportation requires highly qualified personnel, specialized tank trucks and documentary support at all stages.
Methods of phosphoric acid delivery
Depending on the volume, destination and route, we offer two delivery formats:
Phosphoric acid transportation in bulk by tanker trucks
The most popular and cost-effective method is the transportation of orthophosphoric acid in bulk in tank trucks. For this purpose are used:
- Chemical tank trucks with a volume of 25-30 m³;
- Materials with anti-corrosion resistance: stainless steel, lining;
- Availability of breakwaters;
- Thermal insulation to prevent acid thickening at low temperatures;
- Airtightness and pressure control system.
Advantages of phosphoric acid transportation by tank trucks:
- Minimization of tare costs;
- Fast loading and unloading at plants;
- No intermediate packaging;
- Reduced risk of product contamination.
We perform bulk transportation of phosphoric acid from Europe - from plants in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, France, Belgium and other EU countries.
Delivery of phosphoric acid in containers (drums and IBC)
For small or distributed shipments, phosphoric acid transportation in drums and IBC containers is used. This method is optimal for agricultural warehouses, distributors, and companies that do not have the ability to receive bulk product.
- Barrels (plastic/metal) with a volume of 200 liters;
- IBC-containers with a volume of 1000 liters;
- UV and moisture protection;
- Transportation in tilted trucks or containers.
Advantages of shipping phosphoric acid in containers:
- Convenience of in-stock storage;
- Flexible shipment on demand;
- Suitable for export and import operations;
- Possibility of forming prefabricated shipments.
