Clean diesel from the start of the supply chain

In the past, on-board filtration equipment protected engines from the catastrophic effects of contaminated diesel fuel. However, that is no longer sufficient

legislation means that mining haulers and equipment from the likes of Caterpillar,
Liebner, Komatsu and many others to be used in the USA and in Europe will be subject to higher emission standards for the type of particulates coming from their exhaust. To meet Tier 4 Final (USA) and
Stage IV (Europe) requirements, engine manufacturers have produced new engines but they will require cleaner fuel from the point of receiving it through to dispensing it. Te precision of today’s diesel engines turns development focus on filtration tecÚology further up the
distribution channel. Using clean and on-
specification diesel fuel ensures extended equipment uptime, reduces costly repairs and keeps warranty claims to a minimum. With the latest exhaust emission mandates, clean fuel has taken on a whole new importance. Visual inspection of fuel during filling is no longer adequate and reliable. Te smallest particle the eye can see is approximately 40 microns wide. Tat’s when Parker Velcon is called in to help design bulk fuel filtration systems that will ensure clean diesel throughout the fuel delivery stream. First, the company’s sensor tecÚologies can help customers determine
