Flexible fuel tanks represent the best logistical solution for storing hydrocarbons. Their modest volume when “emptied and folded” is only equal to about 1% of their nominal storage capacity meaning that they can be simply and rapidly transported, no matter where they are to be installed.
The strength of these tanks coupled with the rapidity of their installation (less than 4h for a 300 m3 tank) means that they have become the preferred fuel storage system for organizations working in remote areas.
These flexible tanks can be used to establish both primary or secondary fuel depots. They provide continuity in the petrol supply chain by facilitating a range of operations:
•The storage of jet fuel for refueling aircraft or other vehicles,
•Providing power plants with diesel,
•Supplying mining vehicles with fuel,
•Supplying fuel for base-camp generators …
