Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS)
Abstract
The Early Entry Fluid Distribution System (E2FDS) is a rapidly emplaced, high-throughput petroleum distribution conduit system. The E2FDS consists of 5-mile systems that can be connected to each other to form a pipeline trace up to 50 miles long. It can throughput 850,000 gallons of petroleum or 650,000 gallons of raw/non-potable water per day. E2FDS is emplacement at a rate of 25 miles per day and retrieved at a rate of 10 miles per day. The components are configured in stackable International Standards Organization (ISO) 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) for deployment and is Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck-Load Handling System (HEMTT-LHS), Palletized Load System (PLS) and PLS Trailer transportable. It includes a Command and Control Module (C2M) that allows for central control of the pipeline trace from a single location. The E2FDS complements the Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS) by adding an early entry capability as well as a means for rapidly extending existing pipeline.
