The Fuel Polishing Process
- A return/intake hose is inserted into the tank down to the bottom where most contaminants like water and bacteria accumulate.
- The intake hose then draws in the contaminated fuel – water and bacteria included.
- The contaminated fuel passes through separate filters, depending on the type of contaminants.
- Contaminants can be monitored through a clear section of the intake hose.
- The intake hose is re-positioned in the tank to make sure all areas are clean.
- At high velocity, the clean fuel is then returned to the tank through a return hose. This also flushes any leftover contaminants into the intake hose to continue the process.
Real Proven Results
NFPA 110 “Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems” is the standard for people who own and operate buildings with emergency generators. It’s the starting point of what a building owner should consider as good practice and may go further toward a legal requirement since it is referenced in building codes. ASTM gets drawn into this through NFPA 110 Part 8.3.7: A fuel quality test shall be performed at least annually using appropriate ASTM standards.
