Recently, the 6 sets of HXG42 vertical bulk tanks tailor-made by HL Petroleum for an oilfield cementing project in Indonesia have completed production and factory joint commissioning tests, and are now fully packed and en route. These units will effectively solve the challenges of limited site space and powder material storage under high-temperature, high-humidity conditions, providing critical equipment support for the continuity and standardization of local cementing operations.
The delivered HXG42 vertical bulk tank offers an effective volume of 42 m³ (cubic meters) and is a high-efficiency storage and conveying unit designed for oilfield sites and large cement storage facilities. It is primarily used to store the cement and barite powder required for cementing operations. Through its optimized design, it can significantly reduce the number of bulk cement tanks and barite powder tanks deployed on site, making it especially well-suited to the narrow, compact layouts typical of Indonesian oilfield cementing sites.
The equipment operates on a proven pneumatic conveying working principle:
Compressed air serves as the power source.
The tank is inflated through externally removable nozzle-type aeration devices, which fluidize the powdered material inside the tank.
The material is then discharged from the storage tank by utilizing the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the tank.
The complete system consists of five integrated systems — the air distribution system, storage system, aeration device, load-bearing system, and pipeline accessories — combining the functions of loading, unloading, exhaust, and inflation in one unit. Operation is convenient and residual material is kept to a minimum.
In response to Indonesia's tropical island climate and frequent rig-site relocation, HL Petroleum carried out targeted reinforcements on top of the standard HXG42 design:
Structural Optimization: The tank body is welded from high-strength pressure-bearing steel plate with excellent sealing performance, ensuring pneumatic conveying efficiency.
Upgraded Corrosion Protection: To counter coastal salt spray and high-temperature, high-humidity environments, the tanks undergo double-layer sandblasting and rust removal plus marine-grade anti-corrosion coating, extending service life.
High Mobility: A rigid transport base is specially designed on the tank side — not only facilitating secure ocean-freight fixing, but also adapting to frequent rig-site relocation and short-distance transport.
Flexible Configuration: The units can be operated as a single tank or connected in series to meet actual capacity demands, offering strong adaptability.
The centralized delivery of these 6 units not only demonstrates HL Petroleum's manufacturing strength in cementing powder storage and conveying equipment, but also marks the growing maturity of the company's customized solutions for complex working conditions across Southeast Asia.
In the future, HL Petroleum will continue to deepen its presence in the Indonesian and broader Southeast Asian markets, supporting global oil and gas development with highly reliable equipment and rapidly responsive service.
