Enhanced fixed roof tank protection 

Fixed roof tanks handling aviation fuel require coordinated protection across venting and transfer scenarios. The system configuration shown here brings together pressure and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. protection, controlled vapor displacement, and explosion Explosion Abrupt oxidation or decomposition reaction producing an increase in temperature, pressure, or in both simultaneously. prevention measures to support safe filling and emptying operations and dependable tank farm performance.

Key system functions in aviation fuel storage tanks

At the tank roof, pressure and vacuum conditions are managed through dedicated Pressure Relief and Vacuum Relief Valves with integrated Flame Arrester. PROTEGO® devices are designed to protect the tank during normal operation by responding to pressure build-up and vacuum formation associated with liquid movement and thermal effects and at the same time protect against atmospheric deflagrations. Their role is central to maintaining structural integrity while enabling predictable vapor displacement during routine operations.

Within the tank, product Product Includes equipment, protective systems, devices, components and combinations of these. withdrawal is supported by a floating suction unit Floating suction unit A floating suction unit is equipped with a buoyancy floater and a swivel pipe, through which the extracted medium is discharged out of a tank. . This arrangement allows fuel to be drawn off just below the surface of the liquid where it is cleanest, supporting consistent operating conditions during filling and emptying cycles.
Together, these elements form an integrated approach for aviation fuel storage in fixed roof tanks, where venting, vapor control, and flame arresting functions are aligned rather than treated as isolated components.

We are highly impressed to see the quality of the products and the knowledge to help us build a state-of-the-art storage terminal. We have always appreciated the timely deliveries of the flame arresters Flame Arresters A flame arrester, deflagration arrester, or flame trap is a device or form of construction that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. and other equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. .
