Exolum inaugurates Zaragoza Airport expansion

Spanish bulk liquids logistics company Exolum has inaugurated the €5 million expansion of its aviation fuel storage and distribution facility at Zaragoza Airport in Spain.

The facility includes three supply tanks to store 1,200 m³ of aviation kerosene (JET A-1), , a new road tanker unloading area for the receipt of external products, four automated road tanker loading racks (three for JET A-1 and one for AVGAS), a new parking area with capacity for ten into-plane fuelling vehicles and new roads. It is connected to Exolum’s La Muela-Zaragoza pipeline by a 400 m, 6” (15 cm) diameter connecting branch, reinforcing the security of supply, reducing CO₂ emissions and eliminating the need to transport fuels by road.

As part of the development, first announced in June 2020, Exolum has also added a multipurpose building with dedicated rooms for fire protection systems, electrical equipment, a control room and changing rooms. The facility has state-of-the-art safety and environmental protection systems, including a fire protection system with a water tank and pumps, pipe systems and motorised valves for maximum automation, a new hydrocarbon water treatment unit and new flushing systems for product certification and quality control.
