Total automation of the storage facilities (tank levels, motorized valves, access control and identification and treatment of effluents). Improvements transferred to all Exolum plants.
Integration of the first PLCs, changing the existing wired logic. Led to the automation of all plants.

Design and execution of the new storage plant in Vizcaya, the first with the new loading system with local microcomputers in Accuload bay, which allowed the loading of 4 arms, two of them equipped with FAME or ethanol blending, also integrating new remote pumps and pipeline.
This design was extended to all of Exolum’s plants, remodelling the existing facilities to adapt to it or carrying it out in the new plants that have been built since then.
