  • Page 5: Section 1: Batt Introduction

    This manual covers the assembly, installation, operation and maintenance of SEI's Bulk Aviation Transport Tank (BATT). The BATT is approved for use in Canada under SEI Industries Ltd.'s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Equivalency Certificate (SU 10638) from Transport Canada allowing the BATT to be used without special permits for the transportation of jet or diesel fuels (a separate gasoline model is also available).

  • Page 6: Tank Construction

    Overview Section 1: BATT Introduction Tank Construction The BATT is a pillow-shaped, collapsible, double-walled fabric container equipped with a number of internal liquid stabilizing elements (baffles), an external built-in harness as well as fill, drain and vent fittings and lifting handles. Structurally, the BATT consists of outer and inner bladders.

  • Page 7: Fittings

    It is the operator's responsibility to ensure the BATT is approved for use by the authority having jurisdiction. In Canada, the BATT is approved under the SEI Industries Ltd. Equivalency Certificate SU 10638. It is important that operators review this certificate and keep a paper or electronic copy. Equivalency Certificate SU 10638 and the BATT operations manual shall accompany all dangerous goods.

  • Page 8: Section 2: Batt Fittings

    Installation of Fittings Section 2: BATT Fittings Section 2: BATT Fittings Installation of Fittings Description of Fittings BATT fittings include: • Fill/discharge fitting, at least one per tank • Vent fitting, at least one per tank Each fitting consists of two main parts: a part attached to the tank using an NPT connection and a removable part attached to the first part using a quick connection.

  • Page 9: Fitting Installation Using Loctite 567 Or Loctite 565 Thread Sealant

    Installation of Fittings Section 2: BATT Fittings Fitting Installation Using Loctite 567 or Loctite 565 Thread Sealant Disengage fitting parts. Remove protective plug from the BATT flange and protective cap from the fitting threaded part. Clean thread surfaces (external and internal) with a cleaning solvent (e.g. Loctite) and allow to dry.
  • Page 10 Installation of Fittings Section 2: BATT Fittings Caution Do not over apply the pipe sealing cord. Excessive material tends to be pushed off as the thread connection is assembled and it also becomes mechanically more difficult to complete the engagement. The following is a guideline for how much Loctite 55 to use per thread size: Thread Size Number of Turns (wraps)

    Installation and Operations Section 4: BATT Operation Section 4: BATT Operation Installation and Operations Important Note Follows the conditions of the Equivalency Certificate (SU 10638) Tank Positioning Before the BATT’s first installation, make sure that the wet date is recorded on the BATT label and in the BATT Semi-Annual Inspection Log which is included in the BATT operations manual (BATT service life starts from the wet date or 12 months from the date of manufacture, whichever comes first).

  • Page 13: Chain Links

    Installation and Operations Section 4: BATT Operation Unroll and position the tank, making sure the fill end is in the correct location and the tank is properly positioned to maintain its center of gravity. Use BATT handles to adjust the tank’s position. Secure the tank to the tie down points and adjust the straps so they are loose.

  • Page 14: Fueling Procedure

    Installation and Operations Section 4: BATT Operation Fueling Procedure Warning All BATT models are rated to contain liquid with a specific gravity sg = 0.85. If the specific gravity of the liquid you are transporting is heavier, you must decrease the capacity of your tank. Caution Check the label on the tank for capacity.

  • Page 15: Defueling Procedure

    Installation and Operations Section 4: BATT Operation Defueling Procedure Attach hoses to the fill/drain fitting. Open all valves on the discharging fuel line. Start pumping into the tank accepting the fuel load from the BATT. Slow down the pumping as you near the end of defueling. Manually position the fill/drain fitting to minimize the amount of fuel left in the tank.

  • Page 16: Section 5: Maintenance And Repair

    Inspections Section 5: Maintenance and Repair Section 5: Maintenance and Repair Inspections The actual service life of a BATT will depend on the completeness and quality of meeting operational and maintenance requirements. Warning Never remove the flanges to extract the inner tank from the outer tank. This can only be done at an authorized SEI service centre.

  • Page 17: Semi-Annual Inspection

    Fill in the Semi-Annual Inspection Log which is provided in the back of this manual. Important Note If a leak is discovered, the BATT must be drained completely and sent to SEI Industries for possible repair and re-testing. 2019 BATT Diesel/Jet Fuel Operations Manual...

  • Page 18: Repairs

  • Page 19 Repairs Section 5: Maintenance and Repair Keeping hold of the string, slip one half of the repair clamp through the hole. Pull the bolt up through the hole. Turn it until the clamp lines up with the hole. Place the top of the clamp over the bolt. Tighten the nut by hand.

  • Page 20: Permanent Repair (Outer Bladder Only)

    Cotol-240 surface cleaner and cure accelerator for outer bladder permanent repair. Important Note If the size of the damaged area exceeds 1", please contact SEI Industries before making repairs. Warning Use of adhesive and accelerant can be dangerous and can have short term and long term consequences for human health.
  • Page 21 Repairs Section 5: Maintenance and Repair Clean damaged area and 2" beyond it, and the corresponding patch side with an abrasive pad and Cotol-240 (or isopropyl alcohol). The area should be clean and dry with a dull matte finish. Support the damaged area on a flat, solid platform. This platform should be strong enough to sup- port the fabric (flat) and allow the patch to be rolled once it is in place.
