WEW Westerwälder Eisenwerk

WEW is a world leader in containerised fuel and water systems for the military and civil defence industries.

Ranging in size from 200L to 50,000L, WEW pressure vessels are approved to transport and store fuel and water across air, land and sea military logistics chains worldwide.

WEW’s ISO-based solutions such as the ISO Tankcontainer are compatible with US and European palletised load-handling systems and can be transported on 6×6, 8×8, and 10×10 logistics vehicles. Low-profile solutions for 4×4 vehicles are also available.

The WEW advantage lies in the company’s engineering excellence. All our fuel and water container systems are built to meet specific customer requirements and can be 100% tailored to meet operational envelopes. In addition to building tanks to the highest standards, WEW specialises in complex pumping and preservation for fuel and water supply of land and rotary / fixed-wing assets.

WEW supports these systems through their entire lifecycle (25 years or more), supporting, repairing and maintaining equipment as needed.

Modular fuel systems for the defence sector

WEW’s fuel storage and dispensing systems for defence are available in payloads ranging from 2,000L to 45,000L for transport on low-profile 4×4 vehicles up to large 10×10 logistics trucks.

These self-contained fuel systems are fitted with integrated pumping systems, providing all equipment needed to store and dispense fuel as part of a vehicle-mounted transportable solution, including ILHS / DROPS / PLS or as a ‘drop and go’ camp, vehicle, and aircraft fuelling solution. The double-shelled self-bunded stainless tanks require no site preparation, fulfil all environmental requirements, and are designed to dispense fuel within minutes of their arrival on site.

Since 2000, WEW’s fuel solutions have been delivered to German, UK, Belgian, Saudi, Austrian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Slovenian and Irish Armed Forces.

Modular and deployable water container systems

WEW’s water container solutions are designed to provide potable water for deployed operations, ranging from 2,000L to 40,000L. Tanks can be equipped with onboard filtration / reverse-osmosis, heating, cooling, automatic chlorination, UV radiation and pressure-regulating accumulators to provide for the transport, storage, and purification of potable water.

Compatible with on-board vehicle cranes, ILHS/PLS/DROPS or forklift handling systems, WEW’s water container systems provide a complete and deployable logistics solution for 4×4 vehicle/trailers, right up through medium and heavy vehicle-mounted to a complete potable water ‘drop and go’ camp installation.

WEW’s water container solutions have been delivered to the US Army, German, Swedish, Belgian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Irish and UAE Armed Forces.

Hazardous cargo solutions for the military

WEW’s container systems are certified to store and transport more than 1,800 hazardous liquids, toxic gases and dry-powder bulk across logistics chains for the military worldwide. We offer payload ranges between 1,000L and 45,000L and specialise in the supply of bespoke products usually within, but not limited to, an ISO footprint. Our expertise extends to the welding and manipulating high-value alloys, including Hastelloy and Duplex. Options include heating/cooling, integral pumping, lining and WEW’s patented ‘flask in a tank’ system.

Solutions meet or exceed all regulatory requirements, and WEW carries ASME VIII R, U, T, and many national-specific certificates such as US DOT, SELO and WHG.
