Once the new bund was complete, the existing sulphuric acid tank was installed on the new plinth. Suitable pipework installed to allow convenient unloading of tankers of acid.
Other pipework was installed to place the tank discharge pump in a convenient location for maintenance. Specifically, the isolation valves for the pump will be reachable from outside the bund and electrical start/stop buttons and e-stops currently located inside the bund were relocated to be operable without entering the bund.
