Aviation Fuel

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.

This prevents the settled water and residuals at the bottom of the tank from being sucked in.

Highlights

Coordinated Protection
Ensuring safety during venting and transfer of aviation fuel in fixed roof tanks.
Pressure and Vacuum Relief
Providing robust relief measures to maintain stability in tank operations.
Vapor Control
Managed vapor displacement supports safe filling and emptying processes.
Explosion Prevention
Incorporating measures to prevent explosions ensures reliable tank farm performance.
