The AXS raw material has gone through over 40 years of research and
development to ensure the effectiveness of our special and tailor
made applications. The AXS raw material is made of a special
Aluminum Alloy that includes copper, silicon, and various other
materials and plastics with foil thickness varying from 0.05 to 0.2 mm.
4. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS Rolls
AXS Rolls are obtained by cutting and expanding the AXS raw
material. The AXS machine AXSR produces a three-dimensional
mesh with a honeycomb structure. AXS Rolls can be produced with
various shapes, widths and dimensions depending on the
applications.
AXS Rolls are used for the protection of large storage tanks and
protecting from oil spills.
5. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS Cylinders
AXS Cylinders are manufactured by continuously processing the AXS
ROLLS through a second machine AXSC, short strips are cut, wound up
cylindrically and twisted at both ends obtaining a sturdy cylindrical
body with homogeneous distribution.
AXS Cylinders are used in Gas Stations Venting Pipes, Gas
Stations Pump Chambers, propane bottles, and most other
common applications.
6. CONFIDENTIAL
AXSR
The AXSR forms a three-dimensional mesh, by cutting, stretching and
twisting. The foil is fed to a cutting unit controlled by a self-regulating
brake system for a precise tension. A sensor compensates and
regulates the foil speed between the cutting unit and the Stretcher
for an optimum stretching result.
Each AXSR can produce 7.2 million AXS liters per year based on
20 hours per day and 6 days per week.
7. CONFIDENTIAL
AXSC
The AXS Cylinders are produced by feeding the AXS Rolls into a
separate machine AXSC. The main part of the AXSC is the rotating
inner drum, fitted with two blades, which cuts the AXS mesh into
strips. The strips are converted into cylinders between the rotating
inner drum and the fixed outer drum.
TWO AXSCs can produce 7.2 million AXS
Liters per year based on 20 hours per day
and 6 days per week.

AXS helps to extinguish fires in large refinery tanks in less than a minute.
AXS stops explosions in gasoline and propane containers and tanks.
AXS reduces fire and explosion risks in gas stations and gasoline trucks.
AXS increases the crash resistance of tanks and containers by 35%.
AXS reduces sloshing movement of liquids by 80%.
AXS reduces electrostatic charges by 99%.
AXS Cylinders weigh only (30g/Liter).
12. CONFIDENTIAL
Storage tank fires and explosions claim hundreds of deaths and cost
billions of dollars every year. It is almost impossible to control an
explosion or a fire inside a tank farm.
When a tank explodes or burns, the fire rages at a dramatic temperature
of over 750 degrees. Almost all automatic fire extinguishing systems
would melt and be deemed ineffective.
As a result the fires would be allowed to burn through causing
numerous catastrophic deaths and destruction.
13. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS Rolls are injected with a special polyurethane foam allowing
them to float on the fuel surface; While regular AXS Rolls are placed
in a safety ring surrounding the tank.
14. CONFIDENTIAL
The AXS Rolls act as a blanket covering the fuel and depriving the
fire from oxygen. Fire temperature was reduced from 750 degrees to
350 degrees allowing the automatic passive fire extinguishing
system to work properly.
This solution WILL save the tank and the fuel
15. CONFIDENTIAL
This is a 12 meter diameter tank filled with 40,000 liters of diesel, it was
built specifically to demonstrate the effectiveness of our AXS system to
extinguish fires in refineries and tank farms. The floating AXS Rolls were
placed on the surface of the diesel.
The fire was allowed to burn freely for 2 and 遜 minutes before applying
the foam.
The temperature of the fire was measured at 350 degrees only and
the biodegradable foam extinguished the fire in 17 seconds.
16. CONFIDENTIAL
According to the NFPA, there are over 5000 fires in the 168,000 US gas
stations every year causing many injuries and deaths and costing over
20 million dollars in damages.
One cause of these fires is the buildup of gasoline vapor inside the
Pump Chambers and increased levels of electrostatic ratios. These
chambers are in need of constant maintenance due to water and rust
damage.
The absence of passive safety systems permits any wrong move to
cause fires or explosions.
Every underground tank must have
a pump chamber.
17. CONFIDENTIAL
The NFPA in the US and the ATEX directive in Europe have placed many
rules and specified many standards to unify the safety codes in pump
chambers at gas stations.
One easy and economical solution is filling the AXS cylinders in
small easy to handle aluminum wire bags and placing them
inside these chambers. As a result, the vapor is condensed
eliminating the risk of fires or explosions.
These bags could be removed when maintenance
is needed and placed back in the chambers when done.
18. CONFIDENTIAL
Every year thousands of gasoline cans explode around the world
causing deaths, injuries and destruction.
Placing AXS Cylinders inside these metal gas cans eliminates the
pressure and stops the propagation of heat inside these cans.
We compared AXS gasoline cans with regular gasoline cans.
The AXS gasoline cans are totally safe and WILL NOT EXPLODE.
19. CONFIDENTIAL
Every year thousands of Propane bottles explode inside homes and
apartments and businesses around the world causing deaths, injuries,
destruction and financial loss.
Placing AXS Cylinders inside these propane bottles eliminates the
pressure and stops the propagation of heat inside these cylinders.
We compared AXS gasoline cans with regular gasoline cans.
The AXS propane cylinders are totally safe and WILL NOT EXPLODE.
20. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS Fire Walls are 4 meter wide and 3 meter high with 10 cm to 30 cm
thick, they have rigid screens filled with AXS Cylinders or AXS Rolls and
mounted on a 20 cm high track to keep the wall in place.
Using these tracks; these AXS Fire Walls could be stacked horizontally or
vertically to accommodate the fire fighters in containing the fires inside
open areas like stadiums or outside areas like forest fires.
21. CONFIDENTIAL
Sloshing occurs when the fuel tank is partially filled, it is noisy and
dangerous. It can throw the vehicle or plane off balance and result
in dangerous accidents.
We conducted lab and field experiments by dividing a glass tank into
two exact chambers, one empty and the other filled with AXS cylinders.
We placed the tank on a moving table. After a short-term acceleration,
The AXS chamber that was completely filled with AXS Cylinders
showed that AXS can reduce sloshing movement by 80%.
22. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS Reduces Hydrocarbon Emissions by 30 to 60%.
AXS does not alter the physiochemical properties of any fuel
AXS reduces Carbon Footprint
AXS has no Life Limit
AXS is re-useable
AXS is recyclable
23. CONFIDENTIAL
Most recent American and Canadian studies have concluded that each
gasoline station can lose around 5,000 liters every year through the
emission of gasoline vapor through the venting pipes into the
atmosphere.
Imagine 900,000,000 liters are evaporated over 180,000 gasoline
stations in the US and Canada.
According to a HARC study, the oil and condensate storage tanks lose
480,000 tons of vapor per year in EAST TEXAS
ALONE causing billions of dollars in economical
Loss AND huge impact on the OZONE level and
the environment.
24. CONFIDENTIAL
AXS PIPES reduce the loss of vapor by approximately 60% and saves the
gas station industry millions of dollars per year by simply replacing the
customary venting pipes with AXS Pipes.
AXS PIPES are filled with AXS Cylinders. The AXS Cylinders
Remain cooler than the surrounding environment and they
capture the escaping vapor by condensing it and
returning it to the storage tank
in liquid form while keeping safe
the pressurized tanks.
