Anhydrous Ammonia
is a dangerous substance. It needs to be handled
by trained personnel using equipment and
facilities that are in compliance with the
regulations. A slightest mistake might lead to
an accident, resulting in injuries, death, as
well as equipment, materials, product and
property losses.
This 1:24 scale model is built to provide
training to the agricultural personnel. The
model is depicting a generic ammonia storage and
distribution facility. It features a storage
tank, a railroad tank car, a tractor trailer
tank and a nurse tank that actually takes the
ammonia to the fields. Each main component
(tank) has a loading riser representing the
exact scheme of loading and unloading of that
particular type of tank.
The model represents the correct pipes layout,
valves, emergency features (including shut-off
systems, fire extinguishers and immersion tubs
with a clean water), labeling and signage - all
in exact accordance to the requirements.
This is another example of a training model that
literally saves lives. We built two of these
models, which were presented to the agricultural
professionals and received the highest feedback
for accuracy, attention to details and high
quality.
Like all our models
this one was first developed digitally. We
created 3D models of every element and assembled
them together forming a 3D model of the entire
facility. 3D proof and 3D model based renderings
were submitted to the customer for review and
approval. Masters of parts and components were
produced by SLA, FDM and ObJet, molded and
replicated by resin casting. For continues
piping we used carbon fiber and metal rods. |
