The Tech Inc. Filter Water Separator for Aviation Refuellers removes dirt and free water from jet fuel on refueller trucks and hydrant dispensers before it reaches the aircraft. It is the modern replacement for the filter monitor, which blocks fuel flow when it senses water and is being phased out. The vessels take EI 1581 qualified elements: the TI-FWSM300 retrofits 16 and 27 KL refuellers, and the TI-FWSM1000 serves 40 KL refuellers and dispensers, giving fleets a straightforward upgrade path.

Main components

Pressure vessel housing the coalescer and separator elements, for use with EI 1581 qualified elements
First stage for EI 1581 qualified coalescer elements, which remove dirt and merge fine water droplets
Second stage for EI 1581 qualified separator elements, which repel coalesced water and let it fall to the sump
Water sump with drain valve and sampling point
Differential-pressure gauge, air eliminator and pressure relief valve
Mounting frame, piping and connections engineered to the vehicle

Applications: aviation refueller trucks, hydrant dispensers, monitor-to-separator retrofits on existing refuellers, and into-plane fuelling fleets.

Filter Water Separator for Aviation Refuellers

TI-FWSM300 – monitor-to-separator retrofit kit for 16/27 KL refuellers.

TI-FWSM1000 – filter water separator for 40 KL refuellers and hydrant dispensers.
Vehicle size: 16/27 KL refuellers (TI-FWSM300), or 40 KL refuellers and dispensers (TI-FWSM1000)

Elements: for use with EI 1581 qualified coalescer and separator elements

Flow rate: matched to the vehicle's fuelling rate, or to client specification

Pressure design: to the applicable pressure vessel code or client specification

Materials: compatible with aviation turbine fuel, to client specification

Instruments: differential-pressure gauge, sump drain and sampling point, with further instruments to client specification

Retrofit scope: mounting, piping changes and connections to the existing refueller, to client specification
Which vehicles does it suit?
The TI-FWSM300 suits 16 and 27 KL refuellers; the TI-FWSM1000 suits 40 KL refuellers and hydrant dispensers.

Which elements does it use?
EI 1581 qualified coalescer and separator elements.

Why replace a filter monitor?
Filter monitors are being phased out of aviation fuelling. A filter water separator removes dirt and free water without the monitor's flow-blocking element.

What does the retrofit include?
Mounting, piping changes and connections to the existing refueller, with a differential-pressure gauge, sump drain and sampling point.
Monitor-to-separator conversion – retrofits the existing refueller and keeps the vehicle in service.

Continuous water removal – coalescer and separator stages remove free water and dirt instead of shutting off flow.

Qualified element compatibility – vessels for use with EI 1581 qualified elements.

Matched to the vehicle – mounting, piping and connections engineered to each refueller type.

Simple maintenance – element change, sump drain and differential-pressure check from the vehicle side.
