Novel cryogenic coupling for loading LPG bullet truck

This research work has been carried out in the Indian Oil Petronas private limited company’s plant located at Haldia, West Bengal, India. The study is related to the LPG Bullet Truck Loading. Due to higher customers (Cooking gas) demand it was necessary to improve the productivity of the gantry by about 10% to face the increasing demand. The time of LPG Bullet Truck fitting with loading arm needed improvement. This work is related to develop the bullet trucks loading capacity of the terminal to face the increasing demand. After successfully implementing the improved cryogenic coupling for loading the bullet truck the productivity improvement took place. The LPG bullet truck loading is increased average from 315 bullet trucks per day to 357 bullet trucks per day or LPG loading 5512.5 MT per day to 6247.5 MT per day i.e. equivalent to increase bullet trucks loading by 13 %. This will eventually save cost.
