Fuel Filtration and Maintenance
- For Generator Base and Sub-base Tanks, Above Ground & Underground Fuel Storage Tanks.
- Touch Screen/PLC Based Controller for One To Four Indoor or Outdoor Fuel Storage Tanks.
- Filtration and Water Removal to Engine Manufacturers Recommended Cleanliness Levels.
- Low Cost Replacement Filters.
The primary sludge filter first removes heavy particulates, rust, bacteria, and fungi with low cost disposable filter bags.
Polishing Systems without a primary sludge filter risk prematurely clogging water separators and damaging fuel pumps.
This System maintains a condition to engine manufacturer’s recommended cleanliness levels of ISO particle code of 18/16/13 in up to four diesel fuel tanks with a capacity of up to 100,000 gallons.
Fueltec’s Systems have a low operating cost.
The Fuel Polishing System is fully self-contained with plumbing and electrical installed; simply connect supply and return piping to your fuel storage tank or tanks and your system is operational.
PLC/HMI Touch Screen Controller:
- Underwriters Laboratory 508A Listed
- Automatically stops the fuel pump for high separator water, filter change required or system fluid leak.
- Controller will operate the system on one to five fuel tanks on a programmable schedule.
Primary Filter:
- The primary filter housing is built from stainless steel to resist harsh chemicals and highly acidic contaminates.
- Filter Media available in one (1), five (5), and ten (10) Micron rated bags.
- Filter does not require back flushing.
Fuel Pump:
- Industrial bronze positive displacement gear pump resists corrosion and is rated at eight gallons per minute, 100% duty cycle.
- Self-priming pump lifts 16 feet and features a 115/230 Volt 50/60Hz 1PH TEFC Motor.
Water Separator:
- Second phase 10 micron pleated filter media
- Third phase Micro-Glass (jet fuel type) Coalescer removes tiny water droplets of free and emulsified water from fuels by causing the droplets to grow larger until contained in a water trap.
- The fourth phase utilizes a water repellant Teflon screen to keep the water from flowing with the fuel.
- The water is removed to less than 100 parts per million as recommended by engine manufacturers.
- This process does not require the use of costly water absorbing (water blocking) filters.
System Enclosure:
- System components are housed in an aluminum rain tight enclosure with a lockable door.
- Enclosure sump is equipped with fluid leak alarm that shuts down the system if a leak should occur.
System Options:
- Installation kits for above ground and underground tanks with stainless fluid pickup tubes and tank entry flanges and fittings.
- Heated enclosures and accessories for installation in freezing locations.
- Multi-tank systems are plumbed and pre-wired for easy installation.
Sizing Your Fuel Polishing System:
Water and most fuel contaminants are heavier than fuel and will settle in a lower phase on the tank bottom.
Contrary to some beliefs; Testing has proven that this lower phase may only be 10-25% of the tanks content.
The upper phase of 75-90%; if left undisturbed will remain clean and relatively dry.
Therefore a properly designed system will remove this bottom phase of water and contaminates without mixing with the clean upper phase fuel.
The 1052SS-UL is a 480 GPH (Gallon Per Hour) System.
Example “A”: Four (4) 20,000 gal. tanks containing a total of 72,000 gal. of product.
To polish 25% of 72,000 gal. = 18,000 gal.
Operating six hours (on one hr. then off three hours) per day will circulate and remove contaminates in 20,160 gal. in seven days.
Example “B”: Two (2) 12,000 gal. tanks containing a total of 24,000 gal. of product. To polish 25% of 24,000 gal. = 6,000 gal.
Operating three hours (on one hr. then off seven hours) per day will circulate and remove contaminates in 7,200 gal. in five days.
Example “C”: One (1) 15,000 gal. tank containing a total of 12,000 gal. of product. To polish 25% of 12,000 gal. = 3,000 gal.
Operating three hours (on one hr. then off seven hours) per day will circulate and remove contaminates in 4,320 gal. in three days.
