OTS has also supplied its first BioTank, which has been installed for a national distribution chain specialising in chilled produce. Basically a standard diesel storage tank, the BioTank is fitted with a conditioning pack designed to prevent the build up of microbial contamination. Effectively this is a self cleansing capability to preserve the pristine quality of the wet-stock – as delivered from the refinery.

“We are expecting a lot of interest in the area of fuel cleansing and treatment procedures for bio fuels,” says OTS sales director Steve Gain.
“The move towards higher percentage biofuel contents has necessitated more stringent hygiene in oil storage facilities. Water contamination can very quickly lead to the rapid deterioration in fuel quality.”

A demonstration of diesel filtration will be centre piece of the OTS stand at the FPS show. This will be supported by specialists from the TankCare Division to discuss the need for fuel quality monitoring and tank hygiene.

Wednesday & Thursday 18th – 19th January 2012

Newark. Nottinghamshire

Presentations at two locations

1. Outside area B131 Avenue X for fuel oil storage and transit solutions.
2. Hall 1 for OTS TankCare – fuel cleansing and quality monitoring.

Oil Tank Supplies (OTS) of Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestshire has increased its participation at the forthcoming LAMMA farm machinery show. In addition to the presentation of fuel oil storage solutions in the outside area, the company has taken a stand within Hall 1 for OTS TankCare a specialist division providing fuel test and quality monitoring solutions.

“Having adequate fuel supplies available is an important part of the logistics behind the modern farm, sales OTS sales director Steve Gain. “Storage facilities need to be secure, convenient and compliant with environmental regulations. Large capacity tanks are usually customised and OTS personnel will be available to discuss customer requirements.”

On display will be the Oil Transit Store – a portable tank which will hold 970 litres. The tank incorporates slots for loading onto a trailer for easier access to field operations. The tank is equipped with a 12 volt electric pump enabling it to be powered from the tractor electrics.

The move towards higher percentage biofuel contents has necessitated more stringent hygiene in oil storage facilities. Water contamination can very quickly lead to the rapid deterioration in fuel quality. Tanks should be drained when equipment is not in use and operators should avoid holding fuel stocks any longer than necessary to complete foreseeable operations.

OTS TankCare is a mobile service equipped to test fuel quality and provide fuel cleansing by recirculation of the tank contents through a filtration process. If fuel quality is in doubt, this process will safeguard productivity by removing contamination and any bacterial growth, which could potentially lead to machinery breakdowns.

Oil Tank Supplies (OTS) of Moreton in Marsh Gloucestershire, has been appointed prime contractor for the provision of the fuel and wetstock services for a new factory in Dumbarton, Scotland. The project is part of a multi-million pound investment by Aggreko PLC, the UK’s leading supplier of temporary power generation and temperature control equipment.

Under the contract, OTS is responsible for the installation of storage tanks, distribution pipe-work and a stock control system, for the production line. The first phase of the contract has been completed on time. This involved the installation of six 30L litres storage tanks; two for gas oil, two for coolant and two for lubrication.

Work on the second phase has been authorised. This includes the distribution pipe-work connecting the storage tanks to ten workstations, where the finished generators are fuelled up and prepared for final test.

The fuelling point uses conventional diesel pumps and an electronic stock monitoring system. This will provide a complete record of all fuel drawn for re-order set points and cost accounting.

Aggreko power generators are used for sports arenas, industrial and emergency services, wherever temporary logistics facilities are required. Operating from headquarters in Glasgow, Aggreko is an FTSE 100 listed company with global organisation providing hire and engineering support services around the world.

Oil Tank Supplies (OTS) has appointed Banbury–based defence and security specialist, Westminster International Ltd as its principle marketing partner for overseas sales.

Oil Tank Supplies manufactures fuel storage systems with integral stock control and dispensing facilities. This sort of equipment is usually procured by large business enterprises, public sector authorities and other government based organisations.

“Bidding for this type of work is a challenging process,” explains OTS sales director, Steve Gain. “We are well known in the UK for bespoke solutions; however our latest product, the self contained MultiServ filling station is ideally suited for marketing as a stand-alone solution.”

“We have partnered with Westminster International, in order to tap their expertise and worldwide sales network covering specialist sectors such as aviation and large corporate organisations, where security and stock management are crucial requirements.”

Commenting on the agreement, Westminster International, business development manager, Christopher Dowling said: “Our activities cover logistics and security equipment for a wide range of civil amenities, emergency services and development infrastructure.”

“The OTS MultiServ filling station fits in with our portfolio. It’s a self contained solution that can be transported easily to where it is needed and commissioned simply with just an electrical supply and Internet connection for remote monitoring.
