Diesel Fuel Polishing
Diesel Fuel Polishing to remove water and micro bacterial contamination build-up in fuel tanks.
Diesel Fuel deteriorates over time due to the accumulation of contamination and condensation. The two most common forms of contamination in generators are water and microbes. When fuel oil tanks are kept warm, it creates an ideal environment for the rapid growth of microorganisms, especially during long hot summers. These bugs multiply quickly, leading to the formation of sludge and biomass pollutants in the fuel stored inside any diesel generator system.
If left untreated, these contaminants can leave acidic deposits on the generator injectors, causing further damage. Moreover, contaminated fuel hinders the operation of the generator when it is needed the most. To tackle this unseen contamination, it is crucial to conduct annual diesel generator fuel polishing (also called fuel filtering). Our on-site fuel scrubbing process effectively filters out harmful substances and enhances the quality of the diesel fuel, thereby extending its lifespan and maintaining optimal performance for your diesel generator. It's important to note that diesel fuel suppliers do not guarantee the quality of stored fuel oil. The problem intensifies during summers, as the storage tanks act as incubators, accelerating the growth of microorganisms. This uncontrolled bacterial growth can be likened to a silent cancer spreading through your fuel oil. Taking proactive measures to stop this contamination is vital in ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of your generator.
Diesel generator fuel polishing will stop contamination build up in fuel tanks?
Fuel polishing, also referred to as fuel conditioning, fuel scrubbing, fuel filtering or even fuel cleaning. PowerContinuity will remove the dirt and grime build-up to extend the working life of your diesel fuel by stopping the micro-bacterial growth build up in your fuel storage facility. Our engineers will filter and cleanse your fuel supply and return the fuel into your onsite fuel storage facility.
How clean will my fuel be after fuel polishing with Power Continuity? Your diesel fuel will be virtually the same quality as the day it was delivered to your site. Here’s an example:-
What are the benefits of diesel fuel polishing?
- Removes water/moisture present in diesel fuel.
- Removes bacterial residue.
- Helps prevent it from forming quickly again.
- Fuel filters last longer as they are not clogged with micro-bacterial build up.
- Cleaner fuel increases the fuel efficiency of the diesel engine.
- Running diesel engines on cleaner fuel eliminates generator fuel failure.
- Avoids the replacement of injectors (due to acidic bacterial damage).
- Your emergency generator doesn’t fail due to fuel contamination.
- Confidence your site generator will start- Priceless!
