Being a hydrocarbon distillate, diesel fuel is an organic liquid and is therefore susceptible to biological growth and over time, even with chemical treatments, diesel fuel deteriorates. Degraded fuel left in storage results in clogged filters, floating tank debris sometimes referred to as "algae", and thick, gooey sludge accumulations in the bottom of tanks. When this combination of sludge and slime gets stirred up and enters the fuel pick up line, accumulations on the fuel filters results in clogged filters, reduced performance, and extreme exhaust smoke. Long-term contamination results in other byproducts, like acids, that corrode injectors and other fuel system components.
Maintenance professionals know that Total Fuel System Management is an important part of every maintenance program. ALGAE-X has numerous mobile fuel polishing systems available for every size maintenance program.
MTC-350 Mobile Tank Cleaning System -- Designed as a three stage Mobil Tank Cleaning System to recondition, stabilize and decontaminate fuels and oils. It efficiently removes water, sludge and sediments that naturally accumulate in tanks. It is rated at 3.5 gallons per minute utilizing 1/2" fuel lines. Designed for medium service conditions.
The MTC-500 Mobil Tank Cleaning System -- Designed as a three stage Industrial Quality Mobil Tank Cleaning System to recondition, stabilize and decontaminate fuels, oils and hydraulic fluids. It efficiently removes water, sludge and sediments that naturally accumulate in tanks. It is rated at 8 gallons per minute utilizing a centrifugal water separator/coalescer, spin-on water block or fine filter, and 3/4" suction and 1" discharge hose lines. Designed for industrial service conditions in the mid-volume production range.
The MTC-1000 Mobile Tank Cleaning System -- Designed for use in tank cleaning larger than 1,000 gallons by marinas, trucking companies, generator services or facility managers, the MTC-1000 provides volume fuel cleaning and polishing, returning fuel quality, prevents clogged filters, expensive tank cleaning, and contaminated fuel disposal. Quality fuel extends the life of engines and injectors. It is rated at 15 gallons per minute utilizing a centrifugal water separator/coalescer, spin-on water block or fine filter, and 1" suction and 1" discharge hose lines. Maintaining fuel quality eliminates costly toxic chemicals, saves money, and increases safety and reliability.
The MTC-3000 Mobile Tank Cleaning System -- Designed for use in storage tank cleaning larger than 10,000 gallons for emergency back-up generator facilities, fuel distribution outlets, and other fuel storage facilities. It is rated at 26 gallons per minute utilizing a centrifugal water separator/coalescer, spin-on water block or fine filter, and 1 1/2" suction and 1 1/4" discharge hose lines.
Other fuel tank cleaning alternatives:
TK-180 Portable Tank Cleaning System -- An economical, 12V or 24V tank cleaning and transfer pump system that flows at 3 gallons per minute. This unit is ideal for individuals or a group of friends that would share a fuel polishing system on a light duty basis.
