Applications

Where the unit works

Receipt from rail and road tankers

Coarse and fine filtration of incoming fuel, water separation as an option.
Transfer within the fuel farm

Multi-stage filtration between storage tanks.
Refueller loading

Fine filtration with coalescing water separation and custody metering; bottom-loading coupling.
Into-plane fuelling

Four or more filtration stages with FSII injection for direct fuelling at small airfields and heliports.

Why our filtration units

12 details that matter in daily operation

Staged filtration that protects itself

100 → 30 → 15 → 5 → 3 µm, down to 1 µm, plus coalescer. Each stage protects the next, so fine elements are not overloaded and last longer.
Water under control

EI 1581-qualified coalescer and separator elements from leading manufacturers, water sump sensor and automatic water drain.
Element change in minutes

Quick-opening hinged covers with swing bolts and horizontal vessels at working height.
Air eliminator on every vessel

Each filter housing vents air automatically and has a flow indicator — vessels always run full, no separate air separator needed.
Redundant overpressure protection

Double relief valve system: if one valve fails, the second still protects elements and pumps.
Static dissipator

Removes static charge from the fuel stream before issue.
Quality checked on the spot

Sampling points at inlet, between stages and at outlet, plus a visual fuel inspection vessel.
Element condition always visible

Differential pressure gauges or transmitters on each stage, shown locally and in the control system.
Pump or pumpless

Self-priming pump, or a pumpless version for hydrant and pressurised systems with an inlet pressure regulator that protects the filters.
Operator-proof design

An engraved metal P&ID plate on the unit and P&ID numbers on every valve handle — no wrong valve during maintenance.
FSII injection

Proportional injection of fuel system icing inhibitor into the fuel stream, with dose adjustment, inhibitor tank level monitoring and a sight gauge. Chemical-resistant seals and stainless steel wetted parts throughout the FSII line.
Lead time from 3 months

Standard configurations are built and factory-tested in about three months; imported pumps or meters can add 2–3 weeks.

Metering and automation

Custody metering built in

Mass (Coriolis) or volumetric metering with custody transfer accuracy: 0.1–0.2 % by mass, 0.25 % by volume. The unit measures mass, volume, density and temperature. A PLC with our own software controls pumps, valves and interlocks, runs emergency shutdown and sends data to your SCADA system.
Built in-house

Vessels made at our plant

Filter vessels are made at our plant — laser cutting, plate rolling, welding and pressure testing — so we control quality and lead time. Every unit passes factory acceptance tests. Dimensions, connections and flow rates are adapted to your site.
