Can methanol be loaded onto a ship using a transfer arm?
Thread Content
Could methanol be loaded onto a ship using a transfer arm? Could methanol corrode the seals of such an arm, leading to seal failure? Where can I find information on the corrosive effect of methanol on sealing rings? ?
Does no one know? ? Who knows? Please help!
The oil transfer arm can be used! The sealing rings of our company’s EDC oil transfer arms are made of reinforced PTFE, with a 316L steel framework inside, which allows for automatic compensation for wear on the sealing rings. The sealing surface is polished, with a roughness of 0.8.
An oil transfer arm can be used; when purchasing it, the operating environment should be provided to the supplier along with clear specifications, and then the supplier will supply the appropriate seals.
It is common for docks to use oil transfer arms to deliver methanol; we have that here. Methanol is not highly corrosive, so using an oil transfer arm is no problem
Using an oil transfer arm to transport methanol is a mature technology, so there is no need to worry about methanol corrosion.
There are no issues using methanol with oil transfer arms; the rotating joints are sealed using PTFE reinforcement, with a stainless steel lining for compensation. Currently, the largest manufacturer of oil transfer arms in China is Lianyungang Yuanyang Company

There is no problem using an oil transfer arm for loading; the sealing material in many methanol transfer pumps is also a rubber ring
There are quite a number of facilities in China that use oil transfer arms for loading and unloading methanol. The ports I’m aware of, such as Yangzi-BASF, Nanjing Longxiang, and Nanhua, all have methanol oil transfer arms. I have comprehensive information on this topic; those who are interested can call me at 13390902929 to request it
The situation you described is completely viable; as long as the dimensions are accurate
