The multimedia filter backwashes automatically with a temporary system shutdown, and after backwash the RO restarts without the attention of an operator. Level switches in the storage tanks also start and stop the RO system automatically to maintain full tanks of fresh water supply. Furthermore, this Ampac system is designed to operate without the requirement of chemical dosing, so there is no transport, storage or handling of liquid chemicals. In 2009, Melones Oil Terminal Inc. commenced a $90 million program to develop a 2-million-bbls capacity, bunker fuel transfer facility at Melones Island. Prior to construction, the island was an uninhabited small rock outcrop 8 nautical miles from the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. The finished facility comprises 16 storage tanks and a T-shaped pier configured for the simultaneous berthing of a 70,000-tonne tanker and two 9,000-tonne bunker transfer barges, or four bunkering barges. The marine structure consists of a 345-meter-long pier connected to the island via a 130-meter- long access trestle. Now completed, the terminal stores and distributes bunker and diesel fuel to vessels transiting the Panama Canal. Large quantities of fresh water was needed during construction, for mixing concrete and other needs. Ampac supplied a containerized seawater RO desalinator that was placed on site beside the storage tanks and genset for a complete system. The seawater supply was from a submerged stainless steel pump suspended off the pier. Containerized Ampac treatment plant located here, shown during the construction phase
