Inter Terminals Sweden AB and Nynas AB, a global leader in high-performance bitumen and naphthenic specialty products, have announced the launch of “Newflow,” a joint energy efficiency initiative. The project aims to upgrade two tanks to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Key components of the Newflow project include insulating the tanks and increasing pump speeds. The upgrades will deliver significant benefits, including:
- Enhanced energy efficiency: Improved insulation will reduce heat loss.
- Faster product handling: Optimised temperature control will shorten berth times significantly.
- Reduced energy consumption: This will lower the facilities’ carbon footprint.
An innovative epoxy fixing method enables the insulation work to be completed without welding, allowing the tanks to remain operational during the upgrade. The enhanced facilities are expected to be ready by summer 2025.
Johan Zettergren, managing director of Inter Terminals Sweden, highlighted the strategic importance of the project: “Newflow aligns with our commitment to improving facility flexibility and efficiency while advancing sustainability goals. We are pleased to work with Nynas on this initiative.”
Anna Keereweer, site manager at Nynas’ Gothenburg Refinery, underscored the partnership’s alignment with Nynas’ sustainability objectives: “Collaborating on Newflow demonstrates our shared commitment to operational and environmental improvements.”
The Newflow project represents a step forward in sustainable energy practices, combining innovative technology with strategic collaboration to deliver tangible benefits for operations and the environment.
