OIL REFINING AND DISTRIBUTION
In the Petroleum Sector Rehabilitation Project initiated and financed by the World Bank, DIAK was awarded engineering projects valued at $1.3m to assist the distribution of petrol and oil products from Dar es Salaam to various inland destinations. The majority of the work involved the design and supply of refinery and oil depot distribution equipment. The equipment was installed on the premises of several major oil companies who participated with the World Bank in the project.
A few examples of the equipment are:
- Two oil storage tanks of 6000 M3 complete with all ancillaries, plus eight tanks of 500 M3 and one of 1000 M3, all shipped together in a 24 container lot for assembly on site in 4 locations across east and central Africa (for a major U.K. international oil company)
- 12 sets of refinery distribution centrifugal pumps, each of 150 c.m.p.h capacity, all complete with flameproof vapourproof motors assembled and tested by DIAK
- 195 tonnes of seamless steel pipes made for DIAK in Romania
- 19 tonnes of pipework fittings, elbows, flanges etc., to fit the above
- A complete white oil submarine pipeline with all fittings and rubber submarine hoses, to provide ship refuelling facilities in a new port complex, made for DIAK in Texas and Europe, and delivered by us into the African port
- 52 tonnes of pipeline and fittings for a new refinery distribution complex
