overview

Amid concerns about a major earthquake in the Tonankai region, the continuation of fuel supply immediately after an earthquake is considered crucial. From a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) perspective, refineries and other facilities are required to be able to resume fuel supply as quickly as possible. While seismic reinforcement and the preparation of prefabricated piping are believed to have already been completed, if fuel piping is damaged by an earthquake, even using these prepared steel pipes, emergency measures are expected to take several weeks. However, using the hose-based fuel transfer system proposed by our company, fuel supply can be resumed in as little as one day.

Features

hose

A tough hose that can withstand use at sea.

Because offshore hoses float on the water, they are easy to operate when transferring fuel from or to a ship.

Antistatic wire

Low-resistance metal wires woven into the hose body electrically connect the coupling fittings. This hose, suitable for oil transport, ensures safe fluid transfer.

system

Excellent operability

Generally, hoses used for transporting oil domestically are rigid and have wire wrapped around their outer circumference to maintain their shape. When using one long hose of this shape-retaining type, the hose reel itself becomes enormous. Also, when using short hoses, connecting them requires considerable effort and time. Chemicil hoses and offshore hoses become flat when not pressurized and are easy to unfold, and large quantities of fuel oil can be easily transported over long distances with a single hose up to 200m in length.

Excellent extension, retrieval, and storage capabilities with a hose reel.

When not pressurized, the hose lies flat, making it easy to extend, retrieve, and store using a hose reel.

Hose reel

Compatible with various couplings (connecting fittings)

Connection is possible using various couplings (connecting fittings). Connection via flanges is also possible.
To prevent the hose from twisting during connection, you can also connect it using a universal joint.

Coupling

Pig system for fuel transfer hoses

The pigging system, commonly used in fuel tank yard piping, can also be applied to hoses. This fuel transfer hose pigging system allows for the continuous transfer of various fuels, such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, and heavy oil, through a single hose without interruption.

Application Examples

Case 01 Fuel switching

If you were initially transferring fuel B, but then switched to transferring fuel A...

Case 02 Discharge with seawater

When fuel transfer is complete and all the oil accumulated in the hose is drained and the hose is cleaned with seawater or similar:

Case 03 Discharge using N2 gas

When fuel transfer is complete and the remaining oil in the hose is to be completely flushed out with N2 gas.

Overseas achievements

The large-diameter 200A and 300A types have obtained Japanese fire safety certification and hold the top market share in Japan as water supply hoses for "large-capacity foam discharge systems."

Case study at the port of Monrovia, Liberia

Using a 6-inch diameter offshore hose, a total of 25,000 tons of fuel are transported twice a month at a flow rate of 8,000 liters per minute to a location 800 meters away from the vessel.

Offshore hoseDelivery record

Other systems using offshore hoses and pigging systems have been delivered to the Polish Navy (20 units), as well as to Saint Helena, Narau, and the British Antarctic base.

Chemicoil hoseDelivery record

We have a proven track record of supplying numerous military forces in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Germany, Canada, and Egypt.
