Fast, safe loading with every litre accounted for
Oil depots and terminals
AVRON supplies the complete loading and metering chain for oil depots and terminals: road and rail loading and unloading, custody metering, additive dosing and terminal automation.
Your challenges
What depot and terminal operators ask us to solve
- Custody accuracyEvery batch must be measured to custody transfer accuracy — and the verified, sealed meter must stand as proof if a delivered quantity is disputed.
- Safe loadingLoading must not start until grounding, overfill protection and arm position are confirmed.
- ThroughputMore trucks and rail cars per shift without adding bays or staff.
- No manual accountingLoading records and reports must go to the accounting system without logbooks and re-typing.
- Product brandingPremium and branded fuels need exact additive doses on every batch, recorded for accounting.
- Harsh climateEquipment must run reliably from −40 °C to +55 °C, in dust, sand and wind.

Case study
Oil depot of a mining company, Kazakhstan: automated truck loading
Kazakhstan · 2022
Challenge. Trucks were loaded by hand and volumes written in a logbook, so losses between the depot and the mines could not be traced to a bay, a shift or a driver — and every overfilled hatch was a fire risk.
Solution. Two custody metering skids, two loading platforms with sealed top loading arms and full automation, designed and built by AVRON.
Result. Delivered in 6 months.
