What is Fuel Polishing?
Fuel polishing is an advanced, mechanical cleaning process that removes harmful sediment through filtration and circulation such as water, sludge and microbial contamination.
Fuel is removed from the tank and filtered back into the existing tank or a new tank in optimum state, without any downtime to equipment or machinery in use.
Is Fuel Polishing Necessary?
If you’ve ever experienced engine breakdown, fuel starvation, blocked filters, water or any other contaminant in your fuel, then you need a fuel polishing system. The consequence of complete power failure could be the loss of millions of dollars, loss of food overnight in a supermarket or catastrophically, loss of life in a hospital.
Whatever your application, (generators, storage tanks, marine vessels etc.) fuel polishing is the most simple and cost-effective way to protect from contamination.
When fuels are stored for long periods of time, and aren’t regularly tested and treated, water and contaminates build up and cause havoc in machinery, equipment and vehicles. Fuel polishing has the ultimate goal to keep the fuel usable without having to fork out money to replace it with a new batch.
How Does Fuel Polishing Work?
This is an advanced level filtration of fuel that is monitored and controlled using a central processing unit. Fuel is passed through different equipment to progressively remove finer contaminants at different stages.
Several stages using different filter technologies are key, as a single process is not adequate to remove the solid particulates, water and wet foreign matter found.
The first stage of Vital Fuel's fuel polishing involves fuel being filtered through increasingly finer filters until its ‘clean’ and reaches a filtration level of 1 micron absolute – an industry best.
