Project
Expanding capacity with an innovative tank farm design for a whiskey producer
A prominent whiskey producer sought to expand their operations by developing a new tank farm, tanker intake, and blending system. FDT, now part of NIRAS was tasked with designing a scalable solution that could accommodate projected production volumes while optimising costs and ensuring operational efficiency.

Collaborative design process to meet client needs
NIRAS worked closely with site operators and managers to understand the requirements and identify opportunities to minimise capital expenditure. The design featured a shared transfer line for infrequent processes, reducing costs without compromising functionality.
Key features of the solution
- Blending and sampling optimisation: The innovative design enabled increased automated analysis and convenient access to a centralised sampling location, streamlining the blending process.
- Phased expansion plan: Developed to support projected growth while maintaining flexibility.
Comprehensive project execution
- Process design and P&ID development
- Process descriptions and detailed layout
- HAZOP studies to ensure safety
- Plant commissioning with the automation team
The project resulted in a cost-effective, efficient solution that supports the client’s expansion plans and enhances operational capabilities.
