“…Around 97% of the collected PAH emissions consisted of four of the most volatile EPA compounds. 3 For the loading dock redesign research, the Euler-Bernoulli and matrix beam theories helped in simplifying the analysis of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and beam bending. Ergonomics principles such as the decision analysis reaction theory, Hick's law, and Martin Helandler's theories were helpful in understanding human interfaces the truck drivers may face.…”

There are several technologies out there for use as high-level switches as part of a system for shutting down flow to a vessel. Given that asphalt truck loading poses issues such as poor visibility, coating, condensation, and fumes, a solution that is robust enough to last in these conditions is often needed in industries. Furthermore, the design of the loading arm, rack, and process equipment may need to be changed to allow for the safety to work as needed. This report would not just be selecting an overflow technology but completing the redesign of structures for use at loading facilities. This report is based on loading facilities at a bitumen production company based in Toronto, Canada with over 25 locations across the country. The engineering design approach was used to create multiple redesign concepts for the loading dock system.Research on overfill systems was also completed by surveying the existing market for technologies and securing quotes from over 20 Canadian and United States instrumentation companies. A final loading dock redesign and level transmitter for overfill protection solution were chosen.
