Fuel Polishing Filters
Industrial Filtration provides advanced fuel polishing filtration solutions designed to maintain the quality and stability of diesel and biodiesel fuels. As diesel fuel ages, it can develop fine sediments and gums due to reactions with oxygen. These contaminants can clog fuel filters, leading to fuel starvation, engine stoppage, and increased maintenance costs. Biodiesel, being more hygroscopic, is particularly prone to these issues, compounded by the presence of water, which promotes the growth of fungi and bacteria that produce organic acids, further destabilising the fuel.
Fuel Polishing Filters
The Importance of Fuel Polishing
​
Over time, diesel and biodiesel fuels are prone to contamination, which can severely affect engine performance and reliability. The accumulation of fine sediment and gum in the fuel can block filters, leading to frequent filter changes and potential engine failure. Additionally, water contamination promotes microbial growth, resulting in further degradation of the fuel and the formation of organic acids that compromise fuel stability.
Implementing a fuel polishing system that continuously recirculates and filters the contents of the main storage tank is essential for preventing these issues. By regularly removing sediment, gums, and water, a fuel polishing system can significantly extend the life of your fuel and reduce the risk of engine problems.
Our Fuel Polishing Filtration Solutions
​
Industrial Filtration offers a range of bag filter housings designed for the effective filtration of diesel and biodiesel fuels. Our systems are built to handle the unique challenges posed by these fuels, ensuring that your engines and equipment run smoothly and efficiently.
​
-
Single Bag Filter Housings: Ideal for straight-forward filtration needs, providing reliable performance in a compact design.
-
Duplex Bag Filter Housings (Duty/Standby Arrangement): Designed for uninterrupted flow, these systems allow for continuous operation by switching between filters as needed, ensuring that fuel filtration is never compromised.
-
Multi-Stage Filtration Systems: For enhanced filtration, we offer systems with three bag filter housings in series. This staged filtration process allows for progressively finer filtration, such as 100 microns followed by 50 microns, and finally 5 or 1 micron, to thoroughly clean the fuel.
-
Mobile Filter Skids: Our mobile filter skids are equipped with castors or fork-lift channels for easy installation and mobility, making them perfect for flexible and adaptable filtration solutions.
