Generators & Critical Fuel Facilities 

Data Centres require highly reliable and complex fuel systems to assure uninterrupted power supply. Most of these facilities are characterised by multiple generator/multiple storage tank fuel systems. Large fuel volumes are stored to allow for long run times, creating a challenge in maintaining fuel quality. The facilities require extensive integration with building management systems (BMS) to allow long term economical facility operations. Fuelling Technology can provide turn-key and bespoke design solutions for all fuelling needs.

Hospitals need fuel systems that include a significant emergency generator service for uninterrupted operation. Dual feed boilers (diesel secondary) are also typically required, and these can have significantly different fuel pressure and flow requirements, necessitating the need for parallel systems. 

Facilities often have large power loads and requirements for extended run times, typically 72 hours, requiring large fuel storage volumes and a need for fuel quality management.

Healthcare facilities also include urban medical centres with high-rise building construction. Typically fuel storage tanks, fill stations, generator rooms, and boiler rooms are on multiple levels within these facilities.

Financial Services Facilities typically include significant computing operations, which increase their power loads and requirements for uninterrupted service. Trading operations, with smaller power loads, have the same requirements for the highest levels of risk management.

The challenge of many financial and trading operations is that they are often in high-rise urban areas, with control over only a portion of a large multi-tenant facility. This means that fuel supplies and generators are often located in less than optimal parts of the building, often split on various levels. For example: fuel fill stations at ground level, storage tanks in basements, and generators on the roof.
