Fluxo was hired by WTorre Engenharia to implement the automation system for the new Fuel Distribution Terminal (Teron), under construction in Rondonópolis-MT, 200km from the capital Cuiabá. The terminal has a storage capacity of 42 million liters distributed in 13 tanks, and operates via road and rail.
Fluxo's scope comprises the supply of a telemetry system for tanks, bottom and top road loading skids, high performance unloading skids and fuel additive skids.
For the tank telemetry system, Fluxo will use modern Flexline radars, manufactured by Honeywell Enraf. With a complete line for application in tank inventory management, Honeywell Enraf is a world leader in this segment and has a center of excellence, research and development of level gauges in the Netherlands, reinforcing its position of innovation in measurement technology. Fluxo is Honeywell's distributor for this line of equipment throughout Brazil.
Fluxo brought to Brazil the concept of supplying modularized solutions for the implementation of fuel and other liquid bulk handling terminals, and started this activity in 2007. The concept adds great value to the implementation of projects, as it significantly minimizes field activities, reduces lead times and overall cost. The loading, unloading, and additive platforms of this project will be mounted on skids (modules), designed and tested at Fluxo's facilities in Santana de Parnaíba-SP, by its engineering team.
The terminal will allow the flow of fuel in the Rondonópolis region, meeting the growing market demand. The project adds to the investments in infrastructure by WTorre, which is recognized for its pioneering spirit in the market, innovation and use of modern construction resources.
With consolidated experience in terminal automation, Fluxo establishes a strategic partnership with WTorre in this supply. By combining its local engineering and manufacturing capacity, established in several previous deliveries, Fluxo will contribute with the best technological solutions for terminal automation.
