’
s Fuel Polishing = water and particulate removal
Fuel is relatively clean when it leaves the refinery, as it
’
s transported downstream it can
easily become contaminated with water, rust, silica, and bacteria. As a result the fuel
falls below the engine manufacturers recommended cleanliness levels. Fuel in storage
becomes even more contaminated with bacterial and fungi growth.

’
s fuel polishing systems first stage primary bag filters remove particulates down
to one micron; the second stage filter/coalescer removes more particulates with an
inside to outside flow then coalesces tiny water droplets into larger drops which stream
to the systems water trap. The third stage water separator prevents the water from
flowing with the fuel with a Teflon barrier. This is the same process and technology that
is used extensively on the purification of military and domestic jet fuel.
