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.
FAIL-SAFE HIGH LIQUID LEVEL HYDRAULIC SHUT OFF VALVE
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.
Quality is not an accident but the result
of high intention, sincere effort,intelligent direction and skillful
execution. 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 ASSEMBLY
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.
