The ALGAE-X ® STS 5000 keeps fuels and oil in a stable and “pristine condition”. This unit has been designed and developed to be utilized on Diesel Fuel tank cleaning applications when maintaining the fuel quality is imperative, and the operation of a fuel maintenance system must be automatic and safe operation is critical. It is ideal for emergency generators that provide backup power to critical operations centers, such as hospitals, emergency call centers, and computer data centers. Effective with stored fuel, oil and hydraulic fluids, as well as marine vessels of all sizes. It's sensors, alerts systems, and automatic safety shut down features provide worry-free service.
The STS 5000 is a Four Stage Fuel Conditioning and Filtration System:
Stage 1: The centrifugal water separation system removes free water.
Stage 2: The primary filter removes large particulate and protects the pump.
Stage 3: The ALGAE-X® Fuel Conditioner reverses the process of fuel/oil deterioration, extends its shelf life and improves system reliability.
Stage 4: The secondary filter removes emulsified water and inorganic debris down to 3 Micron.
The STS 5000 is a totally enclosed, stand-alone, wall or pad mounted Fuel Conditioning and Filtration System providing Optimal Fuel Quality for Peak Engine Performance. Since fuel is inherently unstable, solids begin to form and the accumulating tank sludge will eventually clog your filters and damage your injectors. It will cause engines to be un-reliable, smoke, lose power and ultimately break down. The system assures that when power is required due to power outage, the generator system will start and run for as long as is needed. This is not the time for clogged, slimy filters to cause a failure to your backup power.

The STS-5000 conditions and stabilizes the fuel, eliminates microbial contamination, removes water, tank sludge and contaminants from the tanks. The principal mechanical components of the system are an ALGAE-X Fuel Conditioner, a continuous duty motor with coupled gear pump, a primary filter water separator/coalescer with a vacuum gauge and a secondary filter with a pressure gauge. All safety and control devices for remote operation are implemented in an isolated compartment inside the fully enclosed, weatherproof system cabinet.
The LG-X Fuel Conditioner decreases the size and mass of fuel droplets which leads to better filtration and water separation, clear and bright fuel, optimal combustion and clean tanks. The ALGAE-X® unit is self-cleaning, has no moving parts, no electrical hookup, and requires zero maintenance. The primary filter/water separator unit removes water and particulate from the fuel. It can be easily drained, by opening the valve on the bottom. The filter element can be back-flushed several times before replacing. The secondary filter is an easy to change spin-on filter designed to remove emulsified water and inorganic debris down to 3 Micron.
For safe remote operation the STS 5000 is equipped with a leak proof cabinet that has a sufficient retention area along with a leak detector. Other safety elements are alarms followed by a pump shut-off, if the filter elements have to be serviced or the water separator needs to be drained.
