Containment design for ILDFA systems generally follows one of seven established approaches outlined in the white paper.
These approaches include underground containment tanks, oil-water separators, hybrid systems, and closed-loop recycling systems. Each approach has different requirements for footprint, maintenance, infrastructure, and long-term operation.
Aircraft size, site conditions, operational priorities, and applicable criteria including UFC 4-211-01, NFPA 409, and FM Data Sheet 7-93 influence the final containment design.
The white paper below includes flow rate tables and design guidance to help engineers and owners evaluate containment options for their facility.
