Algae-X filtration system provides optimum fuel quality

19 July 2010

The STS automated fuel filtration system removes sludge and water from tanks, dries the fuel and prevents microbial contamination through fully-automated programming and remote monitoring.

The controller monitors of the STS 6000-30 GPM from Algae-X can easily be integrated into any building management system (BMS). Alarm functions and pump shut down are triggered when the filters need service, a leak is detected, high vacuum or pressure occurs, or when there is water in the separator.

STS 6000 systems can be connected to the tank’s ‘High Fuel Level Alarm’ to prevent overfilling and potential spills. All components and control devices are contained within a fully enclosed, lockable, NEMA certified cabinet.

Features of the STS automated fuel filtration system from Algae-X include: Nexus y-Strainer to protect the pump; Continuous duty motor with coupled gear pump and Viton seals; Primary filter to remove water and debris; Secondary coalescing filter to dry the fuel; and Algae-X Fuel Conditioner to optimise fuel quality, increase filterability and eliminate microbial contamination.
