Loop or Day Tank Fuel Oil Transfer System

  • No. 2 Fuel Oil
  • Flows from 20 to 2200 GPH

Above Ground Storage Tank Supply & Return Oil Line Heating System

  • When heating is required an electric heater is powered on, also an automatic solenoid valve is energized to re-circulate fuel oil
  • Redundant safety features that include an oil temperature switch and integral heater thermostat to protect against overheating, and guarantee that the oil returning to the tank will not be heated above 80°F
  • Dual temperature sensors measure both the in line oil temperature, as well as the outdoor air temperature to activate the THERMOPUMP in response to climatic or internal tank conditions

Automatic Lead/Lag

  • Lead pump manual selection or automatic alternation with automatic lag pump back-up, alarms and safety shutdown interlocks
