Fuel Storage Services
Key Facts

Government legislation will increase Bio Ethanol content multiplying contamination risk
- EU plan to increase

Bio-fuel composition encourages rapid growth of microbes and fuel separation

Fuel must exist in a single phase to avoid engine problems

Bio Ethanol instantly attracts H2O and increases contamination risk

Un-maintained storage tanks are ideal breeding environments for microbes

Increased risk of infrastructure failure leading to reactive cost and lost revenue

More now then ever fuel integrity resides with the retailer

Ever increasing risk of legal action from end user

Critical to ensure fuel and tank integrity and cleanliness
The Breeding Ground of Life
Bacteria
Bio Diesel - Risk
O2
 Conventional Diesels hold typically 60ppm suspended H2O
 Bio Diesels can hold 1,500ppm suspended H2O
 Colony Forming Units (CFU’s) exist on the phase between H2O and the fuel
 Jelly fish like bacteria growths eventually drop to form a bio film and sludge
 Bacteria breakdown the carbon chains reducing the combustible properties
 Breakdown by-product sulphuric acid leads to infrastructure corrosive attack
 Resultant poor performing pumps and infrastructure damage
 Increased infrastructure repairs and pump outages

The Breeding Ground of Life
Bio Petrol - Risk
 To avoid engine issues fuel must exist as a single phase
 Ethanol is hydroscopic and will instantly attract H2O causing phase separation
 Separation layer of water and ethanol will lay in the tank bottom just above sludge layer
 Separation layer will increase over time
 Without removal contamination will be delivered through the pumps
 Serious end-user issues etc.
97% of all tanks tested held water

Fuel Polishing with Unique 6 Month Guarantee
 A custom built mobile tank cleaning and fuel bio contamination
filtration polishing system
 System developed to remove H2O and Bio contamination with the
patented 4 micron absolute filters ensuring the fuel is cleaned and
conditioned for prolonged life. ISO cleanliness levels of 14/13/11 or
better
 A 6 month guarantee with a fuel quality certificate awarded after
fuel polishing is confirmed successful – no other supplier offers a
guarantee
Bio Bug Buster
Onsite Analysis
 Onsite analysis for H2O content and contamination levels
 Tank and dispenser samples to ensure accurate analysis
 Fuel samples before and after the polishing process to prove
results and certified levels of fuel cleanliness
 Measures particulate and H2O contamination levels
 CCTV inspection of tank
Bio Bug Buster
A Preventative or Reactive Service
 Tailored Maintenance Contracts available for:
 Water and fuel contamination analysis
 Both analysis options and fuel polishing
 Preferential response and down times
 A 24 hour reactive and emergency response service:
 Fuel contamination analysis
 Fuel polishing
Bio Bug Buster
Summary
 Storage issues and risks with bio fuels will only increase
 Preventative maintenance is the safest and most cost effective solution
 Reactive maintenance is costly and results in lost revenue and un-budgeted costs
 Protection against end-user claims certify your storage infrastructure
The cost of prevention is less than the cost of rectification
