Inside of this post you can see what way overcomes fuel from a supplier to an aircraft. And how aircrafts are fueled.
Right now we are going to the fueling station of the Domodedovo airport.
“Flammable”.
“Domodedovo Fuel Services” is the largest aircraft fueling operator in Russia and countries of the former USSR. Discharge jetty is the place where aviation fuel starts its way from.
Discharge jetty provides simultaneous discharge of aviation kerosene from twenty two rail cars. It takes place three times a day (66 cars, 5000 m3 of fuel daily). Fuel supply is also carried out through the piping (30% out of 100%).
Where is the fuel drained? “Domodedovo Fuel Services” has two tank batteries (receiving and discharge ones) for fuel receiving, storage and preparation before its supply to aircrafts. Capacities of the receiving and discharge tank batteries are 15 000 and 34 000 m3 respectively.
The two objects are interconnected by the fuel line about five kilometres long.
