Fill Cart for Refinery Fill Pots
A custom-designed fill cart engineered for safe and efficient filling operations in refinery environments. This project showcases mechanical design, CAD modeling, and practical fluid systems engineering.
Project Overview
This fill cart was designed for fill pot operations in refinery settings. The design prioritizes operator safety, ergonomic access, chemical compatibility, and ease of maintenance — all while meeting strict industry standards for fluid systems equipment.
Key Design Features
- Structural frame: Welded stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh refinery environments
- Fluid handling: Integrated fill pot mounting with drip containment and chemical-resistant seals
- Mobility: Heavy-duty casters with locking mechanisms for safe transport across facility floors
- Ergonomics: Optimized working height and access points to reduce operator strain during fill cycles
- Safety: Integrated secondary containment, grounding points, and clear labeling for hazardous material handling
