Dedicated meters on each tank will inform the operator exactly how much product is being stored. The carbon steel storage tanks are all insulated and can be heated for the storage and handling of high viscosity products. In addition to this, they also have mechanical stirrers and recirculating pumps in order to make sure that there is a homogeneous fluid in the tanks if so required. When it comes to delivery to your customer, Shimi Manbaa also offers road haulage either through the use of its ISO containers or road tankers and its fleet of well maintained trucks.
