Advario is a global independent liquid storage company providing safe, reliable and sustainable logistics solutions for chemicals, gases, and fuels. At its Stolthaven terminal in Antwerp, Advario focuses on efficient product handling and storage, operating under the highest safety and environmental standards.
The project involved the complete renovation of two product spheres — S160-01 and S160-04 — while maintaining full alignment with safety, operational, and design standards.
The challenge was to replace and install critical components within a limited time frame, ensuring flawless integration with existing infrastructure and 3D design models.
The renovation work began with the dismantling of existing piping and components, followed by the prefabrication and installation of new product lines and utility connections. Circulation pumps were installed with precise alignment to guarantee optimal performance, and all supports and shoes were mounted fully clamped according to design specifications.
To ensure operational safety, grounding loops and other protective measures were implemented throughout the site. The project concluded with extensive preparation for hydrostatic pressure testing and quality verification, ensuring the installation met all safety and performance requirements.
The renovated spheres were safely handed over, with fully tested and aligned piping systems ready for operation. The project delivered improved efficiency, safety, and reliability — meeting Advario’s high technical and operational standards.
