Of course our success is realised

by committed employees, high

quality suppliers and supporting

customers. Those are essential el-

ements for being successful. How-

ever as CTS we also benefit from

being present in our home market

The Netherlands. Why does this

benefit us?

The port of Rotterdam (Botlek, Eu-

ropoort) has a great concentration

of storage tanks, and hosts 4 ma-

jor refineries. Also a large volume

of crude oil going to refineries in

Belgium and Germany is coming in

through Rotterdam based storage

tank terminals. As a result of this

the local authorities have amassed

great knowledge over the years

regarding atmospheric storage

tanks. Many of these terminals

are located very near to residential

areas, also given the densely pop-

ulated nature of The Netherlands.

Now those residents certainly ex-

pect the industry to minimize smell

and VOC (volatile organic com-

pounds) emissions.

So the local authorities are acting

on the behalf of the terminal neigh-

bours, and are doing all within

their control to ensure the storage

tanks are safe and have minimum

environmental impact.

They use multiple interesting

tools and methods to do so,

amongst others the following:

• Competent authorities are ac-

tively and frequently checking on

terminal safety and emissions

• Emissions are being monitored by

an extensive network of E-noses

(electronic noses) that are able

to report VOC concentrations on

a live basis

• These E-noses and their measure-

ment data are also on a real time

basis available for the general

public (see www.luchtmeetnet.nl),

so terminals have little leeway to

generate a negative impact on

the neighbouring residential areas

• Many systems such as fire detec-

tion and firefighting systems are

regularly checked in the presence

of the competent authorities

• The terminal industry and DCMR

(Rotterdam Port Environmental

Agency) have been developing

the NTA 8399, the first inter-

national protocol for OGI (Optical

Gas Imaging), allowing measuring

storage tank emissions

Now this does not makes life for

storage tank owners and support-

ing companies any easier, but at

the same time it certainly helped

the storage tank industry in Rotter-

dam and its supply partners to be-

come the benchmark in safety and

environmental impact.

As CTS we are convinced that be-

ing part of this industry will allow

us to further grow our activities

and international presence, mini-

mizing storage tank emissions and

improving tank safety and integrity.

In our field of activity we are the

only company measuring the emis-

sion performance of our products,

owning a FLIR GF320 OGI camera,

and raising the bar as far as we

can. Rest assured we will continue

to meet and exceed your expecta-

tions. Now and in the future!

Yours sincerely,

CTS International Holding B.V.

Gert van Meijeren

Managing director

Often we are being asked what makes our company better than other companies in our field of business. Now this is always a challenging question, but for a company being the result of a manage-ment buy-out with 2 employ-ees in 2004 realising less then USD 200,000 in reve-nues to grow into a company with offices in 13 countries, almost 300 employees and revenues in excess of 75 mil-lion USD in 2016 we have proven ourselves in the inter-national market.

CTS is proud to announce that it

has recently successfully com-

pleted all quality reviews, and as

such has been the first tank seal

supplier to be awarded with the

Shell TAMAP status of fully accept-

ed manufacturer for tank seals.

Qualifying for this status requires

meeting a very stringent set of

quality requirements, as all prod-

ucts and systems involved had to

meet all international design and

construction standards, while also

a continuous product improvement

program is considered as vital.

The following CTS tank seals and

seal combinations for open top

(external floating roof) tanks have

been approved under TAMAP:

• CTS1 liquid mounted primary

shoe plate seal

• CTS30 liquid mounted primary

shoe plate seal

• CTS20 secondary rim mounted

and independently acting com-

pression plate seal

Over the past decades CTS has

developed itself to a global lead-

er in the field of specific products

and systems for storage tanks,

and we feel confident that this

Shell approval for CTS designed

and manufactured tank seals will

allow CTS to further cement its

leading position.

CTS BECOMES SHELL TAMAP ACCEPTED SUPPLIER

To ensure the best possi-ble suppliers and products are used with Shell facilities worldwide Shell is operating a vendor management pro-gram called TAMAP. TAMAP stands for Technically Accept-ed Manufacturers And Prod-ucts. Qualifying a product line for Shell requires undergoing detailed product quality re-views combined with a thor-ough screening of QA/QC procedures. The extensive involvement of senior staff from Shell ensures the high standard of the reviews con-ducted, challenging every as-pect of the supply chain.

ZENITH ENERGY AMSTERDAM DOME PROJECT COMPLETED

70M DOME LIFT IN PROGRESS

CTS was selected to support this

process, supplying and installing

aluminium domes for the follow-

ing tanks:

• FB-2107, Ø70m

• FB-2109, Ø70m

• FB-2110, Ø60.6m

These domes were designed for

storage of Diesel fuel, and there

will be no floating roof in these

tanks. That could result in prod-

uct condensation on the dome,

and this condensation could leak

out from the tank if this design

aspects is not properly addressed

in the design of the dome. CTS

has developed a peripheral con-

densate seal that is to date the

best in the market, and ensures

no product will leak out from the

dome structure.

In the third quarter of 2016 CTS was awarded an order for the supply and installation of 3 free-span aluminium domes for the Zenith Energy Terminal in Amsterdam (formerly BP Amsterdam). Zenith Energy has taken over this terminal per early 2016, and is in the process of getting all tanks renovat-ed, to ensure they will meet the highest possible safety and environmental standards.

The domes were manufactured

parallel with the process of ob-

taining the building permit, where

CTS commits itself to absorb the

costs for any changes being re-

quired. Obtaining a building permit

can be complicated given the many

different design, safety, mainte-

nance and emission standards

being reviewed, such as API 650,

API 653, EN 1991, EN 1999, EN

14015, EEMUA 159, ATEX, API

2000, NFPA 11 and many oth-

ers. However as CTS has realised

a very significant number of proj-

ects in both Europe and in partic-

ular in The Netherlands we often

start manufacturing before having

obtained a building permit, as we

are extremely confident we will

obtain a building permit based on

our extensive engineering reviews

submitted.

Dome construction started per

the end of November 2016, and

though the winter weather did

none of the parties involved any

favours we were able to complete

all domes within the expected time-

line, without any incidents let alone

lost time incidents.

The Zenith Energy tanks are ready

for reliable service for decades

to come!

diameter API 650 storage tanks:

• Aluminum dome roofs with

walkway

• Full Contact (HC) Internal

Floating Roofs and 24” Floating

This is another important order for

the Middle East showing that tank

owners are committed to reduce

environmental impact to an abso-

lute minimum. CTS is convinced it

will help its customers in realizing

the lowest possible emissions and

as such realise the safest tanks.

All materials are expected to

CTS has been supplying its prod-

ucts to the Whitegate refinery for

some years now, and in 2016 an

order was executed for a CTS30

liquid mounted primary shoe plate

seal combined with a CTS20LP

low profile rim mounted and inde-

pendently acting secondary seal.

Using a low profile secondary seal

can reduce seal height with app.

500mm (20”), and this would re-

sult in the following extra capaci-

ty per tank:

Over the past few years several

main refineries and independent

terminal owners have started us-

ing low profile secondary seals with

gastight primary seals as supplied

by CTS. The CTS30 primary seal

is a state of the art seal that has

no complex or wearing parts and

is only composed of stainless steel

and PTFE (Teflon®) components.

Being liquid mounted it is the most

effective primary seal available and

allows for extreme out of round-

ness tolerances, well beyond any

tank maintenance code limits.

As a bonus to that CTS is conduct-

ing OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) tank

inspections for all its customers,

to ensure minimum emissions and

maximum tank safety!

Irving Oil is a Canadian refining and distribution company. In 2016 it has acquired the Whitegate refinery located in Coun-ty Cork, Ireland. Whitegate is the country’s only refinery and processes light, low-sulfur crude oil, sourced from the North Sea and West Africa. The facility produces transportation and heating fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene that are then distributed across Ireland and Europe.

CTS FE has been awarded the con-

tract for engineering and supply of

14 aluminium dome roofs and 10

aluminium full contact type IFR’s

(internal floating roofs).

These were installed on the fol-

lowing tank diameters:

• Ø42m (4 tanks)

• Ø36m (6 tanks)

• Ø23m (4 tanks)

All tanks were built 30m high, re-

sulting in more capacity per square

meter of land, and mimicking the

development in Western European

ports where scarce land availabili-

ty has resulted in tanks being built

much higher to allow greater effi-

ciency.

The aluminium dome roofs were

supplied with an internal tension

ring and sliding supports allowing

tank settlement and dome expan-

sion without stressing the upper

rings of the tank shell, for uncom-

promised tank integrity. They were

also made suitable to cable sus-

pend the IFR’s, allowing different

landing positions to be set without

tank. As an extra option the cable

suspension settings also have a

setting to hang the IFR’s near the

top of the tank, to allow storing

products that would not require

an IFR or would be not compatible

with the IFR material.

Inside 10 of these tanks aluminium

full contact IFR’s were installed,

representing the most effective

approach with respect to reducing

emissions and minimizing environ-

mental impact. The full contact

type IFR’s are equipped with liquid

mounted primary shoe plate seals

and independent rim mounted sec-

ondary wiper seals. This will typi-

cally result in emission reductions

well beyond 99%, making these

kind of tanks also the safest in the

industry.

Both domes and full contact IFR’s

were installed by the contractor

under CTS supervision. Final in-

spections, third party reviews

and leak testing all showed great

results, resulting in all parties ex-

pressing their satisfaction on the

project realisation.

PBF is an oil & gas company ded-

icated to the commercialization of

liquid fuels that has the backing

(support) of BP (British Petroleum)

as its main shareholder in Peru.

Over time the projects have been

conducted as follows:

• The first 3 IFR’s with double seal

were installed prior to 2016

• Another 2 IFR’ s were supplied

and installed during 2016

• Again 2 IFR’s were shipped in

per early 2017, and are cur-

rently awaiting installation

Apart from supplying and installing

the high-quality IFR’s CTS has also

been awarded to supply several

aluminum Floating Suction Lines

(FSL’s) for their tanks.

With an emission reduction of well

beyond 98% and given the excel-

lent quality and detailed design for

the IFR’s supplied PBF can also

rest assured of the long term sup-

port from CTS South America.

CTS Chile has been able to successfully complete several sig-nificant orders and projects for aluminum skin and pontoon type Internal Floating Roofs (IFR’s) to PBF in Peru, South America. The IFR’s have given excellent results for PBF, and as a result of this a total of 7 IFR’s were supplied and in-stalled by CTS in the last 3 years.

In order to ensure and maintain

the good relationship CTS will

be sending its representative on

site during the commissioning to

ensure the seals are properly in-

stalled.

The CTS1 shoe plate seals are ex-

tremely reliable tailor made shoe

plate seals meeting all internation-

al construction, safety and emis-

sions standards. Complemented

with an independent CTS20 sec-

ondary rim seal the seal combina-

tion ordered will realize maximum

emission reductions, resulting in

safer tanks. CTS is also regular-

ly measuring actual emissions on

the CTS designed and supplied

tank seals, to ensure minimum

emissions.

Apart from these BAPCO orders

also orders for similar CTS seal

combinations were received from

KNPC (Kuwait National Petroleum

Company, for tanks 124, 132 and

326), ARAMCO Saudi Arabia and

Qatar Petroleum, firmly position-

ing CTS ME as a market leader in

the Middle East region.

Over the years, Bahrain Petroleum Company has always set itself high standards on safety and quality. Since almost a decade CTS has been supporting BAPCO reducing tank emis-sions by supplying high quality tank seals for their open top tanks. Continuing the cooperation and being satisfied with the CTS performance BAPCO has recently ordered CTS1 liq-uid mounted primary shoe plate seals and CTS20 secondary rim mounted (and independently acting) tank seals for their tanks 139, 750, 900 and 946.

DOMES FOR NWCC (TGNW) AND RTCC (TGE) PROJECTS

In 2016 CTS has successfully

completed the TGNW project com-

prising of 6 tanks each having a di-

ameter of 107 meter. The domes

were supplied in time and installed

under the supervision of CTS ME,

using the CTS supplied tools for

assembling and lifting the domes.

The domes were supplied on fixed

supports utilizing a steel tension

ring on top of the tank, and CTS

took full responsibility to design the

domes and the steel tension ring

ensuring the dome and tank integ-

rity for the long term under all cir-

cumstances.

All domes were equipped with apex

platforms and elevated grip strut

access walkways to provide safe

and unhampered access to the

apex of the domes and the centre

of the tanks.

Given the successful in-time com-

pletion of this landmark project CTS

was awarded another order for 6

similarly designed 107 meter dome

roofs for the RTCC TGE project.

Delivery and installation of these

domes is scheduled for the first and

second quarter of 2017.

NWC (National Water Com-pany) Saudi Arabia has em-barked on an ambitious plan to improve the availability of water within the kingdom. Though by now it has com-pleted the first phase NWC continues to improve the wa-ter infrastructure.

FULL CONTACT IFR’S FOR BTT

CTS was selected to supply and

install the following products for

this expansion project:

• Full contact IFR’s

• Liquid mounted shoe plate seal

for tanks with a steel internal

floating roof

For BTT the following were some

of the main considerations to se-

lect CTS as contract partner:

• The excellent emission reduction

realised by the full contact IFR’s

• The great reputation CTS has

at other independent terminal

companies such as VTTI (Vitol)

and Vopak

• Factory tested full contact IFR

modules abolish the need of a

floatation test of the IFR

• CTS has extensive experience

with designing IFR’s suitable for

full scale Nitrogen pigging, re-

leasing Nitrogen pigging vapours

over the main filling line without

damaging the full contact IFR’s

All products supplied by CTS on

this contract do meet all relevant

design, safety, maintenance and

emission standards such as API

650, API 653, EEMUA 159, ATEX,

API 2000, NFPA 11 and many oth-

ers. CTS is certainly proud to be

able to contribute to the impres-

sive development of BTT.

BTT (Botlek Tank Terminal) is a relatively young terminal company that has developed into a terminal with a good foothold in the Port of Rot-terdam. In 2016 it has em-barked on a serious expan-sion program, realising an expansion with amongst oth-ers 6 new fixed roof tanks in a diameter of 19m, requiring full contact internal floating roofs (IFR’s) under the strin-gent Rotterdam municipali-ty requirements. Unique for these fixed roof tanks is that they are built in an elevation of 36m, resulting in very ef-ficient tanks, creating the best possible capacity for the square land area available.

LBC HOSE TOWER COMPOSITE HOSE ORDER

All CTS Composite hoses are man-

ufactured and tested according to

international standards and cov-

ered by Type Approval certificates

by several International classi-

fication societies (DNV, Lloyd’s

Register of Shipping, Bureau

Veritas etc.). The hoses are PED

2014/68/EU Cat. III certified

and are fully in accordance with

all international requirements,

such as EN 13765:2010, EN

13766:2010, IMO IBC and IGC

Code ch.5.7.

Every CTS composite hose is as

a standard extensively inspected

and pressure tested according to

EN standards before it leaves the

factory. On this basis CTS has de-

veloped into a leading company in

manufacturing and supplying com-

posite hoses for the most demand-

ing industries.

Per early 2017 CTS received a large order for the supply of CTS Chemmaster and Vapourmaster composite hoses which will be used in two newly constructed hose towers locat-ed at the LBC Tank Terminal Rotterdam. Both types will be equipped with SS316 inner and outer wire. The Chemmaster hoses are specially designed for the use in hose towers by adding an elongation restrictor inside the hose wall to avoid elongation of the hoses. These hoses will be executed with Hostaflon lining to guarantee the best hose performance for the long term, as Hostaflon has considerable better mechan-ical properties as non-modified PTFE compounds often used by other manufacturers.

DIALOG-VOPAK PENGERANG PROJECT REPORT

In late 2016 CTS was awarded a

project to engineer, supply and in-

stall nine (9) aluminium dome roofs

for the Pengerang Deepwater Ter-

minal Phase 2.

This involved the following tank

diameters:

• Ø70.3m (3 tanks)

• Ø65.4m (3 tanks)

• Ø56.0m (3 tanks)

All aluminium dome roofs are de-

signed with internal tension ring

and sliding supports to allow tank

settlement without stressing the

dome roofs. Access to the dome

apex is given by an elevated grip

strut walkway and a dome central

platform in order to provide safe

an easy access for terminal oper-

ators during tank inspection and

product sampling. The tanks and

dome roofs are expected to be

completed within the 3rd quarter of

2017.

In December 2014, an agreement was signed between Petronas, Dialog Group and Royal Vopak to develop an in-dustrial terminal in Pengerang to serve the RAPID project. Pengerang Terminal Phase 2 Project is the second stage of the development of the Pengerang Deepwater Terminal. It involves the development, construction and operation of the facilities required for the handling, storage and distribution of the crude oil, petroleum, chemical and petrochemical feed-stock products together with its ancillary by products, to and from the RAPID complex at Pengerang. It involves the construction of tank storage capacity of approximately 2.1 million m³ of tank storage capacity and a deep-water jetty with twelve berths.
