A changing energy market demands movement among service providers in the world of fuels. Tank Tomasz Europoort Terminals is going a step further and strategically investing in its infrastructure to anticipate now what international players in the energy market will soon need.
At a central location in the Port of Rotterdam, Tank Tomasz is doing everything it can to be ready for a more sustainable future. With the Tomasz Tank storage Minerals (TTM) terminal at the forefront, the company is working hard to store and transport greener fuels. The experience to do this safely has been there for years, and that provides a foothold for the future.
Vision and strategy
On the one hand, the market demands a different course and adaptability in Tank Tomasz’s role as a service provider. “Our customers are in the midst of the transition to more sustainable products, and we are making the strategic choice to facilitate them in this. On the other hand, it fits within our vision to do the right thing—to contribute to a better world and a healthy future for the company.”
Last year, tank pits S100-S300 at TTE were prepared for the storage and transfer of biofuels. These previously contained fuel oil. “That meant cleaning tanks with ultra-high pressure, flushing piping systems, overhauling pumps and mixer, and servicing tanks. Because biofuel reacts differently to certain gaskets and seals, these were also replaced.”
Important milestone
Following investments in an innovative truck loading station in 2021 and the launch of a second vessel ships loading system in 2022, Tank Tomasz can add another milestone to the list in 2025. At TTE, track B of converting tank pits for the storage and transfer of biofuels has been completed.
“We decided already in 2021 to say goodbye to mineral products there, such as fuel oil, to make way for green products,” says Costan Georgian, Terminal Manager and Oil&Gas Mechanical Engineer TTE. “With this, we are taking a stand in the energy transition and making another big, important step towards the future. This is the beginning of much more.”
Development Opportunity
Tomasz Tankstorage Europoort (TTE) sees and creates opportunities to develop an additional distillation tower at the end of next year. Besides integrated storage and multimodal logistics solutions, our Europoort terminal has offered unique distillation services for more than 20 years and has been producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) since 2021. The new distillation tower will increase Tank Tomasz’s SAF production capacity. With the construction of SAF, Tank Tomasz is making a major contribution in the transition to greener fuels.
Gunnar Henderson, Team Leader PID, and Iwona Zielińska, Sales Manager at Tank Tomas Terminals, explain. Their main focus is the Operation and Business Development of the PID (Petrochemical Industrial Distillation). The PID installation distills (separates) products based on temperature and pressure.
