SuperSafe™ High Level Shut-Off Valve

This hydraulically operated, diaphragm-actuated, pilot-controlled globe pattern valve is installed in the fill line in the SuperSafe Tank. The valve automatically opens to fill the primary storage tank and closes tightly when the liquid level reaches a predetermined point. Once the desired level is achieved, no further attention is necessary. If the diaphragm is damaged, the valve will close tightly, providing fail-safe operation. The valve is controlled by a float actuated pilot mounted with the center line three inches below desired shutoff level, in or near an access hatch and within close proximity of the valve inside the tank.

The float pilot control is a precision lapped plate type of valve actuated by a float attached to a lever arm. When the float is down, the valve is wide-open allowing tank filling. As the float rises, flow through the pilot control is slowly throttled which causes the main valve to throttle smoothly to a tightly closed position when the tank is full. The anti-siphon feature will allow air into the product line in the event that a vacuum is generated on the inlet side of the valve body.

Our goal is to have satisfied customers, and we pride ourselves on providing quality products and services to that end. We hope you will agree that the SuperSafe Tank represents the wise choice.

SuperSafe™ Closed Circuit Sump Sampler

Proper sumping of aboveground fuel storage tanks is one of the daily challenges faced by the aviation fuel storage quality assurance people. The most frequent aboveground tank operator induced sumping problem occurs when:

  • Insufficient allotment of time is scheduled to perform testing.
  • Motivation lacking due to in meteorological conditions, or other factors.
  • Cost of fuel lost due to testing.
  • Poor training and evaluation of testing procedures.
  • Insufficient quantities of sump samples are gathered.
  • Sump samples taken at insufficient pipe velocities.

CLOSED CIRCUIT SUMP SAMPLING

The development of the SuperSafe Closed Circuit Sump Sampler was to address all of these reoccurring situations. SuperSafe Tanks are now equipped with a sumping system that allows the operator to easily view fuel sump samples, separate the bad sample for disposal and sending the separated good fuel back to inventory.

Tank sump samples are collected at the positive sump and removed via a suction pipe that routes these captured samples above the liquid level, through an anti-siphon device, through a visual sight glass, valving, and a one-micron vessel. At this point the fuel can be examined in a typical open white bucket, and a decision made. Return the good fuel back to inventory and or dispose just the bucket bottoms as necessary.

The retrieved fuel is routed downstream back through the sump filter vessel, inlet strainer, suction pump and eventually back through the main filter separator and back to storage. Any small amounts of contamination escaping this procedure will be captured in the sumping one-micron filter, or the downstream main filter separator. The end result is easy and user-friendly sumping procedures that will assure frequent accurate cost effective sumping with out the environmental risks.
