The contamination of distillate fuels, lubricating and hydraulic oils is now a common hazard. It is a serious threat to Marine Safety and responsible for extensive damage to marine, industrial and land transport machinery. Bacteria of a variety of types, both aerobic and anaerobic, produce organic acids, including sulphurous and sulphuric.
The effect of the microbiological contaminants on fuel injection equipment is to quickly impair performance and dramatically increase wear rates. This brings about poor combustion conditions, loss of engine power and reduced service life of components. The presence of microbiological bacteria causes fuel filter blockage through the growth of bacteria farms in the fuel filter medium. ecotech fuelmag is not a filter; it does not impede or reduce the passage of the fluid media. Its effect on the microbiological growth in the system is to break down the colonies into their individual size, enabling them to pass individually through the conventional filtration system to be consumed
in the engine combustion cycle, inhibiting on going colonisation, allowing the contamination to migrate through the conventional filters, thus depleting the level of contamination in the storage tank.
Scientific experimentation conducted on our behalf by The School of Ocean Sciences at The University of Wales at Bangor is available on cd. We can help solve your problem with one of our standard production units ranging from1/4" ports to 2.0" ports for gravity or low pressure systems and specialized units capable of handling up to 3600 tonnes per hour.
