AMA - Military Fuel Handling Systems and Installation Services

AMA Spa is specialized in the design, manufacturing and installation of aviation and ground-fuel handling equipment, aimed for dispensing and storage.

Our wide range of fuel-handling products offer a suitable answer to the rapid deployment of bulk fuel installations for diesel, petrol or aviation fuel, as well as permanent and semi-permanent solutions with containerized storage and refuelling systems.

For the last years, AMA has intensively worked with various peacekeeping missions and military operations worldwide, providing them with ground fuel and aviation refuelling and storage systems, logistic support, deployment and installation of fully equipped fuel plants on site.

DIESEL AND PETROL CONTAINERIZED STORAGE AND REFUELLING SYSTEMS

AMA's diesel and petrol containerized storage and refuelling systems are a safe and cost effective solution for refuelling vehicles and boats in remote or costal areas and are available in ISO 20ft or 40ft containers (DROPS) with:

• Single-wall or double-wall tank with leak detector
• Tank-loading pump upon request
• Generator for electrical power supply – upon request
• Single or dual-type dispenser (diesel/petrol)
• All necessary piping, valves, instrumentation and electrical connections for the correct and safe operation of the system

Storage capacity can be increased by connecting various containerized storage modules in battery.

JET FUEL CONTAINERIZED REFUELLING SYSTEMS (JP8, F43 OR JET A-1)

Containerized refuelling systems for jet fuel are available in ISO 20ft or 40ft containers (DROPS) with:

• Electrical positive displacement pump (electrical pump)
• Positive displacement meter with air eliminator (flow meter with air-eliminator)
• Filter water separator and monitor filter with differential pressure gauge
• Fuel sampling
• Hose-reel with refuelling hose and underwing / overwing nozzle
• Explosion-proof electrical control panel
• Generator for electrical power supply of the system
• All necessary piping, valves and instrumentation for the correct and safe operation of the system

Storage capacity can be increased by aligning various containerized storage modules in battery (with single wall or double wall tanks) and connecting them to a pump and filtering unit.

BULK FUEL INSTALLATIONS FOR RAPID DEPLOYMENT (JET FUEL / DIESEL OR PETROL)

Ideal for rapid deployment of bulk fuel in remote areas, we can provide complete solutions, consisting of collapsible tanks and bladders for bulk fuel storage connected to our Aviation Fuel Trailers (AFT).

These bulk fuel installations allow all necessary fuel operations like

• Refuelling aircrafts or helicopters
• Fuel receipt from aircraft or bowser
• Fuel transfer to refuellers or bladders
• Recirculation within the installations

For diesel or petrol we have a wide range of Fuel Transfer Pumps (FTP), with or without filtering system, which can be connected to bladders. Vehicle Refuelling Terminal (VRT) completes the installation, allowing vehicle refuelling.

DAY TANKS FOR CONTINUOUS GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY

Day tanks are an ideal solution to allow continuous generators fuel supply. The system consists of a small diesel tank (day tank) installed into a container, together with a main storage tank. The day tank feeds the generator and it is fitted with level sensors. Fuel level in the day tank is constantly monitored and kept at a secure level by means of the combined effect of the level sensors and electrical pumps connected to the main storage tank.
