Fuel: Summary
Conditioning fuel for immediate use or in long term storage
Preventing fuel breakdown catalysed by ferrous particles stops tank sludge & biofilms
Protecting filters, injectors, pumps & tanks
Notes
The breakdown of fuel and subsequent build up of microbes and sludge can damage injectors and pumps. Traditional filters can block and engine performance can suffer. Chemical incompatibility, water and microbes all contribute to the process of polymerization and stratification. This results in poor Fuel Quality, tank sludge, bio film and acids. These by-products of the process of fuel breakdown cause clogged filters, corroded injectors, pumps and tanks, incomplete combustion, carbon build-up, smoke, and loss of power, which ultimately leads to complete engine failure.
The Magnom™ has been successfully employed to condition fuels in applications ranging from performance automotive to large scale marine fuel storage systems.
In fuel applications the Magnom™ has increased the life of the conventional filter, the injectors and pumps and reduced the need for tank cleaning. Importantly it has therefore reduced maintenance requirements and down-time.
The Magnom delivers this by:
Removing contamination (particularly ferrous) down to less than 1 micron (reducing the rate at which the fuel degrades by removing many of the catalysts to oxidation). Contamination is present in new fuel, often introduced in the storage process by rusty containers.
Breaking up harmful bacteria, particularly from light diesel fuels. The bacteria is disrupted by the strong magnetic field, this breaks them into smaller particles which are then free to pass through the conventional filter and the injector without blocking.
Magnoms™ have been sold into fuel systems in the following sectors:
- Agriculture
- Marine
- Performance Automotive
- Construction
- Standby Power and Industrial
