GPO Terminal
Storage Capacity
Six vertical cylindrical tanks of 5,000 m³ each, plus one operational tank for liquid bitumen.
Tank farm segregated by product
The terminal’s storage capacity is designed to allow independent operation of the three products, without cross-contamination. The bitumen tanks are equipped with thermal insulation, diathermic oil heating coils, and mixers to maintain operating temperature.
