The Tank farm upgrade installation is now well underway. A planning meeting was held on site on the 11^th June hosted by Reynolds attended by, Honeywell, Swinton, Townsend, AGL Engineering, SHP and CATCH.

With a key focus on the components being installed and how we optimise the installation aspect to ensure a trouble free commissioning process, and meeting a commissioning deadline date of 15^th August 2020.

This is truly a world class facility and will be unique not only in this area but within the UK. It gives us the ability to be able to operate up to three different control rooms at the same time. This could be three different areas of a large plant or even different sites. It is using new state of the art equipment and interfacing to existing control systems to again replicate the real world. The new upgrade will be able to replicate loading and unloading of Road, Ship, Tank to Tank, Rail and external pipelines in either batch mode, continuous mode metered or unmetered and with the added functionality to be able to insert additives into the line. It can be used for instrumentation training and maintenance routines. As well as a host of other courses. The courses available to run and the potential possibilities of this facility are virtually limitless.

The facility is largely being funded by Reynolds training with support from LEP skills funding.
