Fuel polishing for stored fuels
As water is heavier than oil, the majority of fuel contamination is found in the bottom 10% of fuel storage tanks.
Typically, this contamination consists of particulate matter, free-standing water and sludge.
Cleaning contaminated fuel
Fuel polishing is a comprehensive process that cleans stored fuel, ensuring its quality and performance. At RSM, we employ state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to remove impurities, contaminants, and water from your fuel supply.
Here’s how fuel polishing works:
Filtration
Our advanced filtration system is designed to capture even the smallest particles and impurities present in your fuel, effectively improving fuel cleanliness.
Eliminating water
Fuel polishing incorporates water separation methods to eliminate moisture and prevent the formation of harmful bacteria and fungi that thrive in water-contaminated fuel.
Quality Testing
After the fuel polishing process, we conduct rigorous quality testing to ensure that your fuel now meets the highest standards for performance and reliability.
Benefits of fuel polishing
Fuel polishing offers several key benefits for both commercial fuel storage systems, these include:
Improving fuel quality
Fuel polishing significantly improves fuel quality by removing contaminants, impurities, and water. This translates to cleaner, more efficient combustion, reducing the risk of engine problems and maintenance issues.
Increasing longevity
Cleaner fuel leads to reduced wear and tear on your fleet and fuel system. By preventing fuel-related damage, fuel polishing extends the lifespan of your fuel system and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements.
More reliable
Regular fuel polishing enhances the reliability of your fuel system and fleet. You can trust that your engines will start smoothly and run consistently, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
What is fuel polishing?
Fuel polishing is a mechanical cleaning process used to remove harmful chemicals or bacteria in the fuel.
Fuel is removed from the tank, passed through specialist equipment and then filtered back through resulting in clean fuel.
