    Millennium Systems International has delivered (2) 300 USGPM Truck Unload Skids to U.S. forces operating at Bagram Air Base Afghanistan. Each skid is equipped with a Gorman Rupp Rotoprime Pump w/BAR air eliminator (per MIL-HDBK-1022A), API 1581 5th Edition Filter/Separator and L.C. M-30 Meter. Fuel offloaded from delivery transports will be pumped to remote storage via underground pipeline. MSI is subcontractor to Louis Berger Group, Washington, D.C. on this project.

    Newport News, VA Airport has taken delivery of two (2) MARS PFT/TLO Modules for offloading transports into storage as well as bottom loading refueler trucks at 200 gpm. Each MARS Module includes an ASME Code Relaxation Vessel and Cla-Val Hydraulic Water Defense System. Sales and installation of this system were handled by Jones & Frank of Norfolk, VA, one of MSI's alliance partners.


    MSI Tech. Tips: Water Defense Control System-Saudi Aramco Duplex PFT
    MSI Skid

    All jet fuel handling systems that employ filter/separators must be equipped with some form of water defense. Traditional water defense is provided by means of a water slug valve which is a hydraulically- operated control valve installed in the filter/separator discharge line. The valve is normally open but closes upon receipt of a hydraulic "signal" from a float pilot installed in the filter vessel sump. Electronic water defense systems consist of a probe or float switch installed in the filter sump which are wired to an intrinsically-safe relay that can provide both control and alarm outputs. MSI's Water Defense Control System is designed to both disable the pump as well as illuminate a "Water-in-Fuel" alarm pilot light. MSI's Water Defense Controller is furnished in a NEMA 7 explosion-proof en-closure. Intrinsically-safe Deadman Control is one of several options that can be added to MSI's basic Water Defense Control System. The photo above shows a typical Water Defense System installed on a Duplex PFT Module delivered to Saudi Aramco last month. Contact us for more details.
