Flexible Fuel Storage Bladders
Robust and durable fuel storage bladders available in a variety of sizes, with capacities ranging from 1,000 to 200,000 litres – for use with diesel, Jet fuels (A1, JP4, 5 and 8) and petroleum. Bladders are manufactured from tough 1.2mm thick polyurethane with reinforced corner mouldings and integral tie-down holes. Each bladder has 2 outlets to one side of the tank with a further top outlet fitted with either a mushroom vent, plug or with an optional flame trap assembly where necessary. All bladder tanks are supplied with all necessary tools, instruction manual and repair kit. Bladders with capacities greater than 60,000 litres are manufactured with 2 x 4″ top outlets.
In 2021 we successfully completed in the fuel mapping exercise for the 100,000 litre bladders to incorporate the Vega Fuel monitoring system. Having an accurate digital fuel log provides in real time the correct amount of fuel held in the bladders, which also provides information when refuelling so has to prevent against loss of fuel. Our fuel bladders are fitted with a dedicated Vega Port for a plug and play solution for attaching the Vega Bar 86 submersible sensor, pre-loaded with the data for the Butyl 100,000 litre fuel bladders. Base equipment can be provided with support from our supplier partner Vega.
In addition our secondary containment berms have been upgraded to protect against fuel surges in cases of emergencies.
