This milestone highlights our continued collaboration with a valued customer, providing reliable fuel handling solutions to support Uganda’s growing energy demands. As Uganda's capital, Kampala plays a key role in the country's expanding energy sector, focusing on diversification and sustainability to boost economic growth and strengthen its position in the East African market.
The project began in June 2024, with the FAT completed in December. By late February 2025, the equipment was shipped and is now en-route to the site for installation and commissioning. This project encompasses a comprehensive setup designed for efficient and safe fuel handling and additive injection operations. It includes:
❇️3 x Additive Injection Skids, each equipped with:
🔹 Magnetic external gear pumps
🔹 Inlet Y-pattern stainless steel strainers
🔹 Pressure relief and sustaining valves
🔹 Decanting system with dry coupling and composite hose
🔹 Stainless steel SS 304 piping and galvanised steel frame
🔹 Pump control stations with Exd junction boxes
❇️One Truck Bottom Loading Skid featuring DKI's proprietary solutions for optimised performance:
🔹DKI FlexLinc BC Batch Controller, ensuring precise and automated fuel dispensing for enchance efficiency and accuracy
🔹DKI Strainers (4" #150 with deaerator), offering superior filtration to protect downstream equipment and maintain product quality
🔹DKI Digital Flow Control Valves (4" #150), enabling precise flow regulation, for smooth and controlled loading operations
🔹Five bottom loading arms with API couplers, and 1 bottom loading arm with a vapour coupler
🔹Earthing and overfill protection system
🔹Deadman assembly and emergency shutdown buttons
🔹Vapour recovery system with a gas-tight coupler and flame arrestors
🔹Folding stairs and operator access walkway
🔹ATEX-rated electrical components
🔹Stainless tubing for additive piping
🔹Blendtech additive injectors
