Fuel and Water Storage
Critical to the success of international military and humanitarian operations is the mobilisation of large quantities of fuel and water. Rubena provides a range of easily transported and rapidly deployable liquid storage solutions for use in the most extreme environments. Rubena flexible tanks are a standard, internationally recognised product used by both military and humanitarian organisations for the temporary storage and distribution of fuel and water. They are available from 1,000 litres to 1,000,000 litres and supplied in a variety of material to suit the application.
The collapsible tanks are quick to deploy and can be stored using a minimum of space, ideal for environments where it can be difficult to establish more permanent solution such as steel tanks. One of the most challenging problems for fuel and water storage is the harsh environments where conflicts or relief operations may be conducted. Rubena flexible tanks have been successfully deployed from Arctic/Antarctic to tropical and desert conditions. These flexible tanks are manufactured from specially developed rubber-coated textiles, PU and TPU which are specifically designed to offer high abrasion and tear resistance.
