Fuel polishing is the cleaning process used to remove or filter out microbial contamination in stored fuel. It involves the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination from diesel in large tanks. This tank contamination accumulates over time if stored fuels are not treated regularly.
SEIMI distributes Parker's Fuel Polisher P510MAN, a filter that cleans fuel by pumping it to the bottom of the tank, cleaning it and then putting it back in the tank. It is a closed circuit with this filter in the center. This very fine filter (98% at 10 microns) integrates a pump (273 l per hour) which ensures an independent circulation of the fuel intake to the engine. This pump operates on 12 or 24 V.
Thus the fuel that goes to the engine is always clean. It has already been filtered. This means that the conventional filtration solution in the engine fuel system (pre-filter and filter) is less stressed, which prevents the filters from becoming clogged (and needing to be changed) or the fuel entering the engine being of poor quality. Contaminants such as water, dirt and rust are removed from the fuel delivery system, increasing filter life, improving performance and reducing the risk of shutdowns due to prematurely plugged filters.
The installation of a fuel polishing system such as the one proposed by SEIMI eliminates this problem and solves the problem of contaminated fuel.
