Project Description:
Kadena Air Base (KAB) Okinawa, Japan is planning the construction of two new tanker truck offloading facilities with downstream additive injection system within the Kadena Air Base. The two project sites are planned to be located within both KTF and Seido tank facilities. Work will include, but not be limited to, the construction of a total of (8) tanker truck offload equipment skids, transfer piping to bulk storage tank manifold, additive storage tanks, additive injector, truck containment and associated power and controls. The truck offload systems and additive injector systems shall be constructed in accordance with UFC 3-460-01, Design: Petroleum Fuel Facilities and UFGS standards. The additive injector system shall allow the conversion of Jet A-1 turbine fuel to JP-8 military spec aviation fuel.
Each truck offload position will have concrete containment drive slabs that drains to a remote spill containment pit. The spill containment pit plus the offload position containment will be sized to capture a spill equal to the largest tank truck that would be expected to be offloaded. The remote spill containment pit shall discharge to the existing storm system at the fuel storage facility of each KTF and Seido tank farm.
Canopies will be provided over each of the offload positions to protect equipment and operators from extreme weather conditions. The canopies will be constructed to meet UFC requirements and to prevent wind damage or collapse due to high-intensity storm events. The canopies will consist of reinforced concrete columns and roof system. Lights will be mounted to the canopies and will meet the requirements of UFC 3-460-01.
Each truck offload skid shall have three (3) offload connections to facilitate simultaneous offload of multi-compartment trucks which decreases the truck offload turnaround time. Each skid will be capable of offloading a commercial tanker truck at a flowrate of 1136 lpm (300 gpm) for a total of 4544 lpm (1200 gpm) receipt into bulk. Mechanical equipment to be provided on each skid will include a bulk air eliminator, vertical in-line API 610 pump, temperature compensated flow meter, flow control valves, manual isolation valves, pressure gauges and thermal relief valves and piping. Electrical controls at each offload station shall include self-monitoring ground verification units, flow switches, pump controls, emergency fuel shutoff (EFSO) stations, and instrumentation. An emergency eye-wash station shall be provided at the truck offload facility in accordance with governing design standards.
At the KTF facility, A 200-mm (8-inch) single wall, direct buried coated carbon steel transfer line will be routed from the truck offload positions to the existing KTF pipeline receipt filter station Facility 1235. The truck offload transfer line will tie-in to the existing 350-mm (14-inch) transfer line to the Baker hydrant loop or to the existing filtration pad upstream of filtration for receipt into KTF tanks. The majority of the transfer line piping will be direct buried with cathodic protection until it reaches the filter manifold area. The aboveground portion of transfer line will have pipe supports designed and provided which meet pipe loads, wind, and seismic forces.
For the KTF facility, two (2) 56,780L (15,000 gal) storage tanks shall be provided for Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII), a single 3785L (1,000 gal) tank for Corrosion Inhibitor/ Lubricity Improver (CI/LI), and a single 2080L (550 gal) tank for Static Dissipater Additive (SDA) will be provided as additive storage. Each of the additive storage tanks shall be single-walled steel, horizontal tanks with all appurtenances as required by UFC 3-460-01 including an automatic tank gauging (ATG) system. The additive storage tanks shall be provided with sized secondary containment as required by UFC 3-460-01. Concrete containment slabs and dike walls will be provided around the tanks. Aluminum crossover stairs will be provided as necessary to facilitate safe access into the containment areas.
The additive injector will be sized to meet both pipeline receipt and truck offload receipt maximum and minimum flowrates. Additives will be injected at the recommended concentration as provided in TO 42B-1-1, Technical Manual Quality Control of Fuels and Lubricants. Placement of the new hydraulic powered additive injector at the KTF filter/manifold Facility 1235 will allow treatment of fuel received at the primary and secondary receipt modes upstream of storage. A bypass line will be provided around the injector for receipt of JP-8 fuel not requiring additives. Aboveground stainless steel additive supply piping shall be installed between the additive tanks and the injector with pipe support structures which meet MSS SP-58 design standards. Additive offload pumps will be provided for filling of the additive tanks from additive delivery containers such as iso-tanks, totes or barrels. A general spill containment system shall be provided for the additive offload area. An emergency eye-wash station shall be provided at the additive storage tank facility in accordance with governing design standards.
The truck offload, additive injector system, and modifications to the existing fueling system shall be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and the Base standards. The facility design shall meet wind loading and seismic effects as prescribed in applicable codes and design guides. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Criteria. Tank spacing and setbacks shall be in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 30.
Existing Building 1230 shall be demolished for the construction of the truck offload facility and the fire protection line feeding the fuel storage facility fire protection system shall then be relocated. Existing electrical duct banks at the truck offload project site shall require relocation to avoid new canopy foundations.
New Portland cement concrete pavement shall be provided for access to and from the truck offload, additive storage tank facility, and the electrical building and emergency generator.
A new 25-square-meter (m2) Electrical Building will be provided to house the new electrical equipment. The building will consist of reinforced concrete load-bearing walls and roof slab system to withstand the high seismic activity and wind.
Medium voltage electric service will be provided to a new transformer, which will feed a new electrical building housing a transfer switch, motor control center, power distribution equipment and relay panel to support the offload facility. A new standby diesel generator will be provided to back up the entire offload facility. Low voltage power to additive injection pumps will be provided from a nearby existing electrical building (pending additional site investigation). The new generator and transformer will be located behind concrete/masonry screen walls for protection from wind damage.
Existing underground low voltage power and controls may be required to be relocated to avoid conflict with new offload canopy foundations pending a survey. Additive tanks automatic tank gauging will be communicated to existing operator buildings via radio frequency antennas.
At the Seido Tank Farm offload station, A 200-mm (8-inch) single wall, direct buried coated carbon steel transfer line will be routed from the truck offload positions to the existing Seido receipt filter manifold Facility 73106. The majority of the transfer line piping will be direct buried with cathodic protection until it reaches the filter manifold area. The aboveground portion of the transfer line will have pipe supports designed and provided which meet pipe loads, wind, and seismic forces.
If the trucks deliver JP-8 fuel, which does not require injection of additives, a tie-in will be made at the receipt filter manifold to send the product through the receipt filters and directly into bulk storage. However, if the fuel received is Jet A-1, which requires injection of additives to meet JP-8 specifications, then the fuel will be directed through the Seido issue line to the Intra-Base Manifold (IBM) where it will pass through one of two injectors and then return back through the Seido receipt line to go to bulk storage tanks. The tie-in to the Seido issue line will require a new valve vault adjacent to the receipt filter pad 73106.
The additive injector system will be located at the IBM for the conversion of Jet A-1 turbine fuel to military spec JP-8. Two (2) hydraulic powered injectors will be located downstream of the receipt filters on DLA Line A and DLA Line B at the IBM manifold. Each additive injector will be sized to meet both pipeline receipt and truck offload receipt maximum and minimum flowrates with additives injected at the recommended concentration as provided in TO 42B-1-1, Technical Manual Quality Control of Fuels and Lubricants. The injector system shall have a bypass option for all JP-8 fuel.
To meet the throughput requirements of both pipeline receipt and Seido truck receipt, two (2) 113,560 L (30,000-gal) storage tanks for storage of Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII), one (1) 7,570 L (2,000 gal) storage tank for storage of Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI), and one (1) 3,780 L (1,000 gal) storage tank for storage of Static Dissipater Additive (SDA) shall be provided. All tanks shall be horizontal, single-wall aboveground storage tanks. All aboveground storage tanks shall be provided with appurtenances as required by UFC 3-460-01. Aboveground stainless steel additive supply piping shall be installed between the tanks and the injectors with pipe support structures which meet MSS SP-58 design standards. Additive offload pumps will be provided for filling of the additive tanks from additive delivery containers such as iso-tanks, totes or barrels. A general spill containment system shall be provided for the additive offload area. An emergency eye-wash station shall be provided at the additive storage tank facility in accordance with governing design standards. The additive storage tanks shall be provided with sized secondary containment as required by UFC 3-460-01. Concrete containment slabs and dike walls will be provided around the tanks. Aluminum crossover stairs will be provided as necessary to facilitate safe access into the containment areas. The truck offload, additive injector system, and modifications to the existing fueling system shall be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base standards. The facility design shall meet wind loading and seismic effects as prescribed in applicable codes and design guides.
