Regulations, Fuel Costs, New Fuels & Expectations
In today’s business environment, change is the only constant, and Marketing Terminals are no exception. Changing regulations, sky-rocketing fuel costs, new fuels with significantly different loading characteristics and ever increasing client expectations are making Terminal Operations even more complex.
Balance those issues with the requirement for improved loading performance and tighter cost controls, and Marketing Terminal owners have to challenge every aspect of their business.
There are several distinct operational and maintenance programs the operator must consider in his drive for growth and improved profitability.
The Basis for any Program Change?
Improving the core custody transfer transaction is critical. And this should begin with improving loading cycle efficiencies, reducing maintenance costs and increasing thru put. Combine these factors with leading edge custody transfer measurement and they will contribute significantly to increasing terminal performance and profitability.
Best in Class Approach
To maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the whole truck loading operation ~ while exceeding required industry standards ~ requires a best in class approach. The objective is to load as many trucks as possible without disruption, spills or downtime.
What’s more, doing it day after day after day is paramount in reducing costs and increasing profits.
At the core of this objective is the custody transfer measurement technology used in the terminal.
Get Transfer Accuracies 70% Better than API standards
To achieve this accelerated performance, downtime, maintenance costs and measurement inaccuracies must be eliminated. That's where SAVMOR comes in. When Brodie's BiRotor Plus Positive Displacement Meter is 
integrated with the Brodie TruAct Digital Control Valve, you get SAVMOR ~ and custody transfer accuracies 70% better that API standards. Guaranteed.

Reduce Maintenance Cost
Meter wear is the highest maintenance cost leading to process disruptions, downtime and reduced profitability. The Brodie BiRotor Plus meter has no moving parts in the measuring unit that touch, so meter wear is moved to an immeasurable level.
Safety & Compliance
Terminal operators must be constantly aware of and meet the myriad current and future governmental requirements and regulations. Foremost is the absolute focus on safety and regulatory compliance. Fuel spills and safety issues are not acceptable. The problem is, that in low flow conditions many meters don't register any flow, so operators wind up with environmental evasive “LEAKS”.
Brodie’s SAVMOR approach provides answers at what used to be unknown levels of flow. “LOW FLOW RECOGNITION “ is finally a reality.
Industry-Leading Accuracy at +/- 0.075%
SAVMOR is an integrated multi-prong approach for improving marketing terminal loading performance. Savmor increases equipment availability with accuracy at +/- 0.075% and superior repeatability at +/- 0.010%.
Combining these two operating factors with Brodie’s unmatched quality leads to low maintenance cost and minimal recalibrations which drives costs down and improves profitability.
An Example:
An example of savings from reduced recalibrations has been witnessed in a high capacity terminal which uses BiRotor Plus meters and averages 500 truck loadings per day. This terminal has realized a savings of $1,000,000 over five years.
$1,000,000 savings over five years. Can you afford to let profits continue to drip away?
