One of our great customers came to us and asked about recycling the aviation fuel that was collected in the SealVac™ Vacuum Fuel Drain bowser's recovery tank. They wanted to reuse the aircraft fuel instead of paying to have it hauled off as a hazardous liquid. Their collected fuel was from a known "good source", and filtering for reuse made great sense. WHY NOT?

The SealVac Plus+™ that resulted from this visionary request is based on our popular SealVac™ Vacuum Aircraft Fuel Drain Bowser. The Plus+ offers all the same great vacuum fuel drain benefits as before, PLUS the ability to reuse the reclaimed fuel. We included an aviation-grade filter system, and a water drain sump. The diaphragm pump operates off the same air source that runs the SealVac™ vacuum generators. The SealVac Plus+™ can even operate in aircraft fuel drain vacuum mode AND fuel filtering mode at the same time.

 

The SealVac Plus+™ idea is great for organizations that either can use reclaimed and filtered fuel in other uses such as ground support equipment, or trust the source to reuse the filtered fuel in an aircraft. Several types of filters can be specified by the customer to serve their particular application for any type of fuel, including aviation-grade, dual stage coalescer/monitor filtration (option not shown in photo).

Another particularly good idea would be for logistics units that ship vehicles on a regular basis. Once the diesel fuel is removed from the vehicle tank, it can be filtered and reused back into the local vehicle fleet.

 

In this age of expensive fuel and diminished budgets, fully using one's resources makes the ultimate sense!

The SealVac Plus+™ Vacuum Aircraft Fuel Drain Bowser is a very attractive option that can save money, boost efficiency and the environment at the same time. It is available in 200, 400, and 600 gallon sizes. The tank is constructed of stainless steel and is double-walled for environmental security. SealVac Plus+™ is now on our GSA contract.
