Deschamps - Defuel Tank

DDRT - Deschamps Defuelling Rubber Tank

In Recovery, time is MONEY, especially when you have to defuel 300,000 litres of kerosene in a short time. With the Deschamps Defuelling Rubber Tank –DDRT-, recovery operations can start while contaminated fuel is safety stored away from the aircraft.

Made of heavy duty nitrile rubber and vulcanized in autoclave, the DDRT is rapidly installed and allows a quick defuelling of the aircraft. Airport often do not have the necessary resources to defuel and store a large amount of contaminated fuel.

The idea is to defuel the aircraft in a rubber tank. Then, during the recovery operation, the truck tanker can pump directly the kerozene in the rubber tank and start its rotations up to the depot, inorder to save time.

For safety reasons the rubber tanks are equipped with a bund liner.
