what types of contaminants are present. Second, appropriate Clean Diesel high- flow, high-capacity fuel filter/water separators and filters are recommended to pre-treat the fuel upstream at delivery, transfer and dispensing operations.
Pre-filtration steps
Tere is a real need to provide more pre- filtration steps. When the fuel leaves the refinery it is generally clean. Nevertheless, each time the fuel is moved it picks up tank residue. Even the air drawn into the tanks contains enough airborne dust and moisture to cause extensive damage. Every transfer point between the refinery and the actual point of use can add contaminants to the fuel. Tis is more frequent in remote applications such as in Australia and Africa because of the many transfer points required to deliver the fuel. Different climate conditions add to the challenge by creating water in the fuel tanks that promotes rust and algae contamination.
Fuel monitoring
Equipment operators can take matters into their own hands and many have. Te Diesel Filtration Skid from Parker Velcon combines particulate filtration with water coalescing tecÚology to handle flow rates up to 3955 gpm. Fuel monitoring options include the Velcon Contaminant Analyser (VCA), which is engineered to provide real-time, simultaneous detection of both water and particulate contaminants in diesel delivery systems at

full-flow conditions. Two separate sensor tecÚologies consistently differentiate between water and solid contaminants, analyses the contents of flowing fuel in a pipeline 600 times per second and produces an averaged result every two seconds in parts per million (ppm) and ISO 4406 codes. Te company also offers other analysers for lower flow rates
(IPM, icounACM20, etc.) and fuel farm laboratories.
