Floating Suction Units – Ensure Clean Fuel from Top Layer

Tristar Floating Suction Units (FSU) are designed to draw the topmost product in storage tanks, which is generally free of sediments, impurities, and water. Heavier contaminants such as sediments and water settle at the bottom, while FSU units float near the liquid surface to extract clean, contamination-free fuel. These systems are ideal for Diesel Tank Cleaning Services, Petrol Tank Cleaning Services, Hydrocarbon Tank Cleaning Services, and Fuel Tank Cleaning Services.

Advanced FSU Features

  • Non-sinkable design: even if the float is punctured, the unit will not sink.
  • Real-time float position monitoring: ensures the FSU is at the correct liquid level.
  • Custom-designed based on tank dimensions and product density.
  • Suitable for petroleum, aviation fuels, and industrial oils.
  • Compatible with horizontal, vertical, underground, semi-buried, fixed roof, and floating roof tanks.

Applications

  • Aviation Turbine Fuel Tanks (ATF)
  • Kerosene Storage Tanks
  • Diesel Storage Tanks – Emergency Back-up Power Service
  • Petrol Storage Tanks
  • Hydrocarbon Storage Tanks

Construction & Materials

  • Available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum.
  • Standard sizes: 50 NB to 500 NB, with larger sizes available on request.
  • Designed for long, trouble-free operational life.

Advantages of Tristar Floating Suction Units

  • Ensures only clean fuel is dispensed from underground tanks or aboveground tanks.
  • Prevents contamination from sediments, water, and impurities.
  • Optimizes fuel quality for industrial oil tank cleaning services and petroleum tank cleaning services.
  • Reduces risk of microbial growth and fuel degradation.
  • Works with FSU-Mouth position monitoring for real-time operational control.

Tristar Engineering has over 40 years of experience manufacturing Floating Suction Units for various applications, including aviation fuel, diesel, petrol, and industrial oil storage. These systems are an integral part of Non-man entry Tank Cleaning and Spray Jet Cleaning Without Man Entry operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and contamination-free fuel handling.
