ermany-based WEW, which is now part
of Thielmann Group, has long
specialised in tank container for military
sector.
Most recently it was awarded a contract by the
Belgian Ministry of Defence to deliver 36
deployable fuel distribution capacity (DFDC) tank
containers to the Belgian Army.
The double-shell DFDC was developed by WEW
to meet the Belgian Army’s requirements in
response to an open competition. The 8,000 litre
fuel container system is designed to provide an
autonomous, mobile, deployable system able to
dispense diesel or kerosene directly into vehicles
or other containers via twin dispensing hose reels
each with a 12m hose and a 3ins NATO standard
dry-break coupling.
The system is integrated into a 20ft standard
ISO container frame, and will be transported on
existing Belgian Army trucks and trailers. It is
compatible with the hook lift system employed by
the Belgian Army.
Each tank container is equipped with overfi ll
protection and level sensors, an electric power
generator Genset (6kVA, 400/230V, 50Hz), and
pump able to dispense fuel at 280–300 l/min at
maximum fl ow rate. Other technical features
include transfer pumping and tank self-load/
unloading capability.
Björn Stolz, WEW’s managing director said this
was the fi rst time the company has worked with
the Belgian Army. “We are very pleased to have
fulfi lled the order in line with the schedule. We
are the only company able to deliver these high-
specifi cation fuel tank container systems and we
look forward to seeing them enter into service
with the Belgian Army in the very near future,”
he commented.
