Bulk Fuel Plants
Bulk Fuel Plants
Bulk fuel plants are where storage turns into distribution. Tanks, loading racks, meters, pumps, and piping must work together to help fuel move safely and efficiently through the facility.
Eaton Sales & Service designs and builds bulk fuel plants with that system in mind. We start by considering how the facility handles fuel, then plan the project around the operation rather than piecing equipment together one component at a time.
Built Around Your Fuel Operation
Our team can help coordinate the components needed for a bulk fuel storage system, including:
- Fuel storage tanks
- Bulk loading racks
- Manifolds
- Fuel meters
- Pumps and fluid-transfer equipment
- Tank monitoring and fuel management equipment
- Piping and related petroleum equipment
For customers who need new storage as part of the project, we also manufacture aboveground and underground fuel storage tanks in a range of configurations and sizes. We currently manufacture tanks up to 75,000 gallons to support a variety of storage needs.
Keep Fuel Moving
Once fuel is in storage, the next challenge is moving it where it needs to go.
Loading racks, pumps, manifolds, meters, and transfer equipment all play a role in getting product from the tank to the point of distribution. The system also needs to support accurate measurement, efficient loading, and reliable day-to-day use.
Our team works with the equipment that connects storage, loading, and distribution throughout the facility. We can also support the petroleum equipment used throughout commercial and bulk fueling operations.
Bringing the Fueling Facility Together
The tanks are only the first part. Pumps, meters, monitoring systems, loading equipment, and other petroleum equipment also need to function together within the same facility.
When new storage is required, our tank installation team can support aboveground and underground fuel storage systems. We can then connect that work with tank manufacturing, petroleum equipment, loading systems, and construction capabilities to address more of the facility as a single team.
Bulk Fuel Expertise Built Over Generations
Since 1919, we’ve supported the petroleum industry through fuel storage, equipment, construction, and service. Today, our engineers and construction teams bring that experience to bulk plant projects tailored to each facility’s storage and distribution needs. Our engineers have worked at the forefront of bulk-plant innovation for decades.
That experience matters whether you’re building a new bulk fuel facility, increasing storage capacity, or upgrading equipment within an existing operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bulk fuel plant?
A bulk fuel plant stores and distributes larger volumes of petroleum products. The specific tanks, loading equipment, piping, metering, and other components depend on how the facility stores and moves fuel.
Can you build a new bulk fuel plant?
Yes. Our team designs and builds bulk plants around customers’ petroleum fuel storage and distribution needs.
Can you upgrade an existing bulk fuel facility?
Our capabilities include fuel storage, petroleum equipment, loading systems, and construction work that can support upgrades to existing fueling operations.
Do you manufacture the tanks used in bulk fuel plants?
We manufacture a variety of aboveground and underground fuel storage tanks and can connect tank selection with the requirements of the larger facility.
Can you service bulk plant petroleum equipment after construction?
Yes. Our petroleum equipment service team provides ongoing maintenance, repair, and 24/7 emergency service for petroleum equipment.
