Count on us for fuel quality, protection and reliability in all environments
Diesel fuel is often contaminated with microbes, like bacteria and fungi, which feed on hydrocarbons and water (from condensation, rainwater, or adsorption of water molecules from air). Biodiesel is especially good at attracting and absorbing water molecules.
Microbes will usually grow on fuel tank walls or at the interface where the diesel floats on the water. If left untreated, the microbes quickly multiply and create a type of ‘sludge’ which interferes with the efficient operation of the diesel engine, initially by blocking filters and injectors. Engine performance suffers, fuel consumption increases, and engine maintenance becomes more expensive. Blockage of the fuel system, causing engine failure, becomes a real possibility.
PFM Blue is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, world first technology fuel treatment system designed to destroy the ‘diesel bug’ microbes without the use of harmful chemicals.
PFM Blue fuel conditioning units use a combination of UV light, which interferes with the microbes’ ability to reproduce, and magnetic fields to completely destroy the organisms. The units also remove water from the diesel, preventing further contamination, and improving fuel efficiency.
PFM Blue fuel improvement products are available in two different types of units:
INDIVIDUAL INLINE UNITS
These units are installed between the tank and engine along the supply lines. They will improve fuel quality, as it flows, directly to your engine. There are several units (from the GP04B to the GP32B-BKC) which cater for engines that range in power up to 10,000hp.
RECIRCULATION UNITS FOR CONDITIONING OF BULK FUEL STORAGE TANKS
The recirculation units have been developed for two different purposes: The first range is designed for maintaining a variety of new or cleaned tanks of up to 28,000L capacity. The second range (commercial units) is designed for cleaning a variety of tanks of up to 57,000L capacity.
All recirculation units condition and clean the fuel, improving its quality, while maintaining the ISO 4406:2017 Standard for Diesel Fuel.
Options are available for remote operation and additional systems monitoring, BMS (battery management system) interconnection and SMS text monitoring.
