Filter/Separator
Filter/Separators are two-stage vessels designed to remove dirt and separate water from
aviation fuel at refineries, product terminals, fuel farms, and on refueling vehicles.
cles.

They continuously coalesce and separate water, which collects in the

vessel sump where it can be drained. Velcon Filter/Separators have passed
numerous tests qualifying them to the latest EI 1581 edition. Construction
is to ASME Code and EI1596 Specifications. Units qualified to military
specifications are also available.

Water Absorption
Velcon’s Water Absorbent Filters are single-stage filter vessel systems which remove water and dirt from Avgas g
and Jet Fuel and provide protection from water at the point of final fuel filtration. When a monitor

Fuel Condition Monitoring & Control
Parker Velcon line of fuel condition monitoring solutions range from fixed on-line systems such as the Velcon
Contaminant Analyzer (VCA®) to portable in-field systems such as the icountACM20, and icountBSplus. All are
designed to provide reliable accurate results in very short time.

The VCA is an on-line monitoring system with the capability of detecting solid and liquid contaminants and can
be configured to shut off flow when contaminant levels exceeds your defined threshold perimeters. In addition,
the telemetry option allows for remote monitoring on a global scale via cellular network.

The icount particle analyzers are designed for monitoring and testing of solid contaminants. Parker HFFD offers
four types of systems depending on your application needs. All products can be used as an on-line monitoring
system or be completely portable while providing real-time or immediate results with the capability of storing
of test results.

VCA® (Velcon Contaminant Analyzer)

MILITARY GRADE INLINE, FULLFLOW SENSOR SYSTEM THAT
SIMULTANEOUSLY DETECTS AND DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN
PARTICULATE AND WATER CONTAMINANTS IN REAL TIME.

The VCA can detect pipe scales, particulate and water from truck
pipelines, dirt and water from storage or refullers vehicles.

The VCA, in combination with a proper filtration system, can provide

assurance that the fueling system receives, maintains and dispenses fuel
that meets ASTM D975 and ISO 4406 cleanliness levels.

As a “full–flow” analyzer, the VCA

mounts within a fuel delivery system
thereby providing a true representation
of the pipeline contents. The VCA TM

analyzes fuel at flow rates higher than

1000 gallons per minute through a 3, 4,
or 6-inch diameter pipeline.

FDPM® (Flow Differential
Pressure Module)
AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF CORRECTED
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FOR VARYING FLOW RATES
The FDPM® MK II builds on its field tested predecessor.
Designed to comply with the requirements of industry
standards such as A4A 103 and JIG Guidelines, the FDPM®
MK II eliminates this normally complicated calculation by
automatically calculating the condition of the filters inside a
vessel based on the inputs from differential pressure and flow-
rate sensors. FDPM® MK II can be used with either mobile or
stationary equipment.

DPM™ (Differential Pressure

Module)
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE MONITORING AND
SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The DPM continuously monitors the differential pressure
between the inlet and outlet of a filter monitor or filter water
separator vessel in order to evaluate the condition of internal
filter elements.

In the event that the filter differential pressure reaches

maximum allowable pressure, the industrial strength relay
on board the DPM control unit breaks the deadman circuit,
immediately terminating the refueling operation. The system
can only be overridden/reset by inserting a supervisor key.
The DPM can also be placed in an override status in order to
conduct the required DP Gauge free movement test.

icountACM20
STATEOFTHEART FUEL CONTAMINATION
MONITORING. THE FIRST FULLY FUNCTIONAL
PARTICLE COUNTER APPROVED FOR USE ON AVIATION
FUELS.
The icountACM20 Portable Particle Counter has been
developed from existing technology for monitoring
contamination in AVTur and other hydrocarbon fuels, in
accordance with Energy Institute (EI) Method IP 564.

In addition, the ACM can also be used to monitor fuels from

existing sampling points in locations from refineries, pipelines,
distribution terminals, fuel supply storage.
