Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS)
Abstract
The Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS) is a new system that enhances the Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS) pipeline and rapidly establishes new or extends existing pipeline traces. It is a high throughput flexible conduit system for the transport of bulk petroleum or water across the battlefield. It is rapidly-emplaced and capable of a throughput of 850,000 gallons of fuel or 650,000 gallons of raw non-potable water, per a 20 hour operational day through a trace up to 50 miles long. The E2FDS requires little to no engineer support to emplace the conduit or pump stations. Pump stations are fully automated and centrally controlled.
