AVIATION FUELING INNOVATIONS

New Technologies Integrated By

Bryant Fuel Systems

Major Components

The following components are a highlight of those used in the manufactureof integrated Bryant Fuel Systems and arenot all inclusive. They are representativeof some of the items required for properoperation, function and regulatorycompliance.

PumpsLoading, Off-loading,

Recirculation

Pumps, motors &piping are part of a turn-key Bryant FuelingSystem. Factory integration is a proven cost advantage to fieldfabrication. The gallons per minute required for your job dictate pump,motor, piping size andcost. Recirculation for Jet & Helicopter fuel isrecommended.

DispensersDispensers can be piped tothe hose reel for direct over-wing dispensing.Tanks can be outfittedwith multiple dispensers andhose reels to accommodate tanks storing more than one product. Just like at servicestations, dispenser options are many. High volume 25 plus gallons per minute pumps and built in credit card readers aretwo of the more commonoptions.

FiltrationLoading, recirculation, &off-loading Jet A at 200 gpm or greater through a filter separatorsuch as the Velcon HV1633150 meets American Petroleum Institute (API)1581 requirements and provides clean fuel. Filter components are easily monitored with a differential pressure gauge and easily changed.

BFS AVIATION SYSTEMPROVIDES CLEAN FUEL

Slug valves (top) and strainers (bottom) are standard equipment on Bryant Aviation Bulk Fueling Systems to ensureclean fuel.Bryant Aviation Fuel Systems are designed to load, re-circulate, &discharge through the filtration system.

AvGas Filtration

In line thread onfilters will meetmost AvGas filtration needs& gpmrequirements.

Fuel ManagementVeeder Root Systems

Fuel managementsystems can provide many useful functions such as current fuel volume and height. Increase and delivery reports. They can also interface with alarms for leak detection, high and low level warnings.

The Factory BuiltAdvantage

Electrical connection is typically the only thing needed for system operation.

Overfill Alarms & Protection

UL listed low cost battery operated systems are available to help you meet EPA overfill alarm requirements. Most spills occur when overfilling the tank.

VEEDER ROOT ALARM SYSTEM

Alarm light and horn interfaced with fuel inventorysystem. Well suited for high use, highthru-put locations.

Credit Card Readers

Credit card readerscome with a wide rangeof options and are priced accordingly.Consider having it mounted on the fuelsystem during manufacturing. It could save some money. Software and start-upare typically two line item costs.

Hose Reel Options

Hose reels typically come in 25’ increments with manual, spring or electricrewind capability. Hose should be certified foraviation fueling. If youhave a specific nozzleneed or preference that should be clarified goinginto the project.

HOSE REEL FUNCTION

Consider the electric or spring rewind especially on hoses of 50’ or longer. A little more expensive thana manual rewind but it will keep your customers happier.

Valve OptionsAutomatically controlledvalves provide ease of operation for many fuelingsystems.

Manual valves provide a lowercost alternative to automaticvalves.

Fuel Cabinets forAbove or Underground Tanks

Fuel cabinets can be equipped with multiple hose reels. Staticor grounding reels and “Deadman” safety handles arerecommended.

Cabinets can be lockable. Stainless steel construction is an option.

Transportation & Logistics

40,000 gallons can be trucked. Suchas this bulk fueling system on the way to the Army Airfield atFt. Huachuca, Arizona. Cranes are typically used to off load larger systems.

Smaller systems such as this 500gallon tank can get there as fast as you want it.
