With 45,000-gallon capacity, the liq-uid propane setup includes safety mea-sures and the ability to fill and loadout at the same time.

Mass flow meters increased accuracy and improved repack-aging. The chemical shed has more than 110,000 gal. of bulk product storage.

All of the buildings are connected with fiber optic communi-cations. And the new layout separates truck traffic operations from the office traffic.

The V-shaped layout lets anhydrous nurse tanks shuttle in, fill and leave without waiting on a station to clear. Simultaneously, two trucks can be received.

The dry shed has a Sackett-Waconia tower, and Doyle vertical blender and receiving system. Vendors were Hamman Electric and Stueve Construction.

The new shop is 80'x100', roughly the same size as the previ-ous shop; however, a breakroom and higher overhead doors make the new space great.
