Dangerous goods containers terrestrial terminal

Abstract

The income and exits of chemical products across the ports of the Valencian Community it is every time major since the imports across the underdeveloped countries it is a very habitual fact (China, India, Pakistan ...) due to the fact that the big ones multinational manufacturers of chemical products have installed his bases in these countries, avoiding the regularizations and commitments as for safety, environment, efficiency, and sustainability demanded by Europe.

These circumstances, force to the companies to design prepared and registered stores, according Regulation of Storage of Chemical Products APQ (RD 379/2001) in the competent organ directed the maritime use

Therefore, exists a need to arrange stores that they consolidate and desconsoliden containers and vehicles of chemical products that assemble the requirements as for safety of storage of chemical products (APQ) destined for the use of the maritime traffic; these APQ storages are in the habit of being located near the ports to optimize.

For it, AITEC, with the collaboration of the IMPIVA, in a concorcio of companies with JOFESA, LITEBI, FITOTRANS and other companies of the logistic sector Valencian chemist is employed at a project of industrial investigation for the modeling of a terrestrial terminus of containers of dangerous goods that covers the following aims:

• Offer to the users a service for the transfer of containers of dangerous substances adapted to the current needs
• Reduce the environmental repercussion of this activity to ideal levels
• Take advantage of the opportunity of market that offers this activity in Spain and Europe, generating employment and benefits
• To be positioned as center of reference worldwide by the innovation and sustainability of the terminus
• Contribute to the development of the I+D+i inside the sector of the logistics and the transport of goods
• Increase the competitiveness of the logistic Valencian and Spanish industry and, of subsidiary form, of the chemical industry, on having facilitated the transfer of dangerous goods

During the year 2011 scientific and technical results expect to be obtained in the matter that will be publicized due in publications specialized as the publication " Logistics and transport ", and " Chemical Projects ", where AITEC is a technical habitual collaborator.
