<p>The invention describes a configured fixed fluid transfer facility for tanker trucks and railroad tank cars to arrange, facilitate and manage a plurality of fluid streams and cam accurately load and unload tanker trucks and railroad tank cars, segregate the unloaded fluid streams into distinct product flows which may include bitumen, and combinations of hydrocarbon or process fluids typical in petroleum extraction and production of heavy oil, and manage the fluids through configurable conduits and heated buffer storage tanks to unlock the prior art's dependency between the railcar and truck transloading. The facility can minimize loss and blending in the processes, and some treatment or mixing of various streams may be effected. Heat is applied to portions of the system to reduce certain fluids' viscosity and minimize time required to load and unload viscous fluids to or from the facility, making the transshipment and logistical management of these products efficient.</p> |
