PureBlue RCS Mini Skid
Contamination with diesel in remote sites or stored for long periods is a serious challenge in Indonesia. This has been made much worse with the introduction of biodiesel, which absorbs significant amounts of water causing extremely fast microbial infestation (diesel bug) resulting in particulate contamination (sludge). To get this fuel back to where it can be safely used, you cannot just filter it for particulate only. FluidTek have custom designed the PureBlue range of Recirculation Conditioning Systems (RCS) for challenging Indonesian conditions, to get the absolute best performance from B30 biodiesel (or even higher % blends) with extraordinarily low operating costs
FUEL TREATMENT PROCESSES!
1. Fuel Purifiers (water separators)
RCI FP units remove over 90% free water & up to 80% particulate via mechanical coalescing & centrifugal processes. Drastically reducing water (less microbes) & filter use (less particulate) – no OPEX!
2. Stainless Steel Sludge Strainer
Critical sludge straining stage uses a re-usable stainless steel mesh strainer to remove heavy levels of particulate, ensuring that this is removed without reach the filter stage, saving significantly on OPEX.
3. PureBlue - Single/Dual Step Particulate
Custom designed heavy duty sock filter housings combining strength, simplicity & reliability. In-line or top/bottom ports, dual fastener hinged top, vacuum gauge (level of blockage) & bottom drain with valve.
4. Recirculation
Typical fuel treatment systems are only single pass. PureBlue RCS continually recirculate fuel in tanks to ensure they are clean, dry & microbial growth free & do not suffer from layering out of the biodiesel from the diesel.
PureBlue RCS Custom Systems
The same complete 4 Fuel Treatment Processes in the PureBlue RCS mini skids, but custom designed for larger high-flow in-line applications or larger tank sizes. These units have 3 phase electric pumps and are modular in design, allowing multiple combinations of flow or throughput. They can have the pump unit taken out of circuit to use the pump on a fuel delivery vessel & then have the pump brought back on line to recirculate continuously or via a programmable timer. Like the PureBlue RCS mini skids, one system can be used for multiple tanks though pipework switching systems.
Available with from flow rates from 12,000 to 72,000 litres/hour.
PureBlue Fuel Polishing Carts
FluidTek has designed & build PureBlue Fuel Polishing Cart in Indonesia to suit our challenging fuel quality issues. The PureBlue fuel polishing cart is strong, simple, with 2 high flow options & 1 or 2 filter housing options. They use a choice of custom PureBlue particulate filters that are effective, yet extremely low in cost, saving operational expenses. A wide range of different micron sizes & Filtasorb2 water removal filters (up to 6 litre water retention) to properly dry fuel, to stop fuel system damage & prevent microbial growth.
PureBlue EM-FCS
The PureBlue EM-FCM is a downsized version of our larger recirculating conditioning systems that can readily be installed directly on diesel powered plant & equipment, such as gensets, excavators, on or off highway haul trucks when the fuel being used has quality issues. This is for situations where storage tank treatment to supply equipment is not possible & keeping the fuel clean, dry & microbial growth free is essential. Whilst small in size, it still has the 3 stage fuel conditioning processes of our larger systems. Flow rates of 30 – 350 l/hour)
Fuel Storage Tank Breathers
Fuel storage tanks typically have breathers that open directly to the air. As the fuel level goes down, the tank breather is moist are. Moisture condenses on tank wall & drops into the fuel. This radically increase microbial growth contamination.
FluidTek provides & supports a range of tank breathers that filter out the moisture of air entering tanks. These filters also remove particulate.
PureBlue Marine RCS
PureBlue Marine High Speed Diesel RCS units are designed specifically for the demanding conditions with marine operations. They have the same 4 Fuel Treatment Processes of our other PureBlue recirculating & conditioning systems (RCS) to ensure that the fuel is clean, dry & microbial growth free to maximise propulsion & genset engine reliability. They are built in modular sections with this design suited for a very limited footprint in engine rooms & can be mounted on a wall/bulkhead/tank wall as well as each modular section can be separately mounted & joined by hose/pipe where space is very limited. The systems have been carefully designed recognising the marine HSD bunker fuel can be extremely wet & contaminated (high sludge levels) & this can be properly treated by PureBlue Marine RCS products.
PFM MFO Unit
This PFM unit has all the benefits of the high speed diesel units, but has been specially designed for use with 180 cSt Marine Fuel Oil (MFO). The system needs to be installed in the last & highest temperature heating stage of fuel directly before engine(s). Given this, the system has its own cooling fan to ensure is stays cool. The unit has a flow path that is oblong & significantly flatter than the standard PFM units to ensure that the LED’s light spread can penetrate the thicker grade fuel. The unit will save fuel, engine maintenance costs as well as reduce engine emissions.
