Green Technology Certification

2010-09-14T12:56:00.000-04:00

JUST IN: Our fuel polishing systems have been certified green, see highlights.
Algae-X has now received the stamp for Green Clean products. This represents a huge hurdle in fuel maintenance as it allows a facility operator to apply for grants that support green equipment installations and upgrades.
"Algae-X Diesel Fuel Conditioning is one of our newest and most exciting certifications. Diesel fuel is one of the most used fuels in the world, and it is also often contanminated and may include sludge that clogs filters and fuel injectors. The AXI fuel filtration and condition is a remarkably Green process that we feel has great benefits to the commercial industry. How can a diesel services be Green? Millions of gallons of diesel are dumped each year becasue the fuel is bad. the AXI system will reciver bad diesel, maintain diesel for any storage system, and reduce soot (unburned fuel) in our air from these engines. This is certainly an unconventional, but very exciting concept to investigate if your company uses diesel in vehicles or emergency generator situations." www.cleanfuelmanagement.com

ASTM Revises Standard Spec For Diesel

2010-08-23T14:53:00.000-04:00

Today, August 23, 2010, the ASTM issued a revised Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils. This replaces the long time spec issued by the ASTM back to 2009. The new issue is number ASTM D975 -10a and replaces all others. It appears that this spec is issued to clarify the different grades of fuel based on Sulfur content.
For example: 1.1.3 Grade No. 1-D S5000—A special-purpose, light middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 5000 ppm sulfur (maximum) and higher volatility than that provided by Grade No. 2-D S5000 fuels.
The S5000 designation, as is evident, will show this fuel to be a fuel with heavy Sulfur concentration at 5000 PPM. A fuel designated with an S15 would indicate a fuel with Sulfur at 15PPM or Low Sulfur Diesel.

According to the ASTM Spec, "The Sxxx designation has been adopted to distinguish grades by sulfur rather than using words such as “Low Sulfur” as previously because the number of sulfur grades is growing and the word descriptions were thought to be not precise. S5000 grades correspond to the so-called “regular” sulfur grades, the previous No. 1-D and No. 2-D. S500 grades correspond to the previous “Low Sulfur” grades. S15 grades were not in the previous grade system and are commonly referred to as “Ultra-Low Sulfur” grades or ULSD."

With the introduction of various levels of Sulfur in diesel fuels it became apparent that the need for diesel fuel maintenance is ever more necessary. Plan accordingly. If you have stored diesel fuel, know the affects of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel as well as how other levels of Sulfur affect you fuel. Be prepared. By performing routine maintenance on your diesel fuel you can avoid costly repair bills and increase your uptime significantly.

Can diesel fuel plug your filters?

2010-04-29T21:58:00.000-04:00

Yes, it can. The stuff that clogs your filters is actually fuel in some way, shape or form. In excess of 90% of this organic debris are fuel bi-products. It is not sand, dust, stones, rust or inorganic matter that blocks your filter. In fact inorganic matter such as sand, dirt, or rust only account for less than 25% of the debris that cloggs your filters.
The inorganic material like sand, dust and other particles will not cause your filters to clog. In fact, a lot of sand in a fuel filter would act as extra filtration. The pores between the sand particles are much larger than the pores in a standard fuel filter element. Sand filters are commonly used to filter water. A hair is approximately 80 micron and fuel filter elements range all the way from 30 micron for a prefilter to 2 micron in a fine filter.
So the next time you see a dirty filter, remember the stuff you see is actually deteriorated, oxidized, and spoiled fuel that is begging for you to apply a conditioner to allow it to go back into the fuel solution.

Does dark fuel mean my fuel is bad?

2010-03-16T13:30:00.000-04:00

This question has been asked more than once. And what we really want to know is: “Will the dark fuel cause damage my engines?” Engines are expensive and damaging an engine can be costly so operating an engine on “bad fuel” is not wise.
We all know that most engine failures start in the fuel tank. When all mechanical parts are in good operating condition, the cooling and lube systems are working, the lube oil is clean and there is a sufficient supply of clean air getting to the combustion chamber, a diesel engine or turbine could run just about forever. The only limiting factor is Fuel Quality. Dark fuel is symptom of poor fuel quality and even though, in most cases, it can be used, fuel in this condition will provide poor combustion and filter life problems.
“Dark fuel” is in a sign of oxidation and that the process of fuel degradation is in an advanced stage. Hazy fuel is indicative of water emulsified in the fuel. In general, dark hazy fuel will not damage your engine. It does however indicate poor fuel quality, which will definitely not provide you with peak engine performance. And in turn cost you money by sending unburnt fuel out of the exhaust.
Using less than optimal fuel quality negatively impacts engine efficiency and accelerates the process that makes new engines old.
Diesel fuel can range from colorless, to amber or light brown color, depending on the crude oil and the refinery process used to produce it. In addition, dyes may be added to change the fuel color for tax identification purposes.
In time, stored fuel will darken due to oxidation, repolymerization and agglomeration of certain components. The darkening is accompanied by the formation of sediment that plugs filters and causes poor combustion. Fuel & Oil vendors suggest that if diesel fuel is stored for emergency use, it should be replaced with fresh fuel within a year, unless special precautions or remedial actions are taken such as fuel polishing.
The University of Idaho conducted tests on the life expectancy of fuels to determine the timeline on degradation of stored #2 diesel. The results indicated 26% degradation after 28 days of storage. Disposing of fuel and purchasing new fuel is a very expensive proposition. Many larger companies, government institutions, hospitals, etc. have the dumping of fuel and the purchasing of new fuel as standard and accepted practice.
The implementation of ALGAE-X® Technology eliminates these costly, wasteful, and environmentally unfriendly dumping practices. ALGAE-X® will preserve fuel integrity almost indefinitely and can help you put in place good housekeeping measures along with a quality fuel-monitoring program.

Your Diesel Engine Negatively Impacts Your Fuel

2010-03-11T18:52:00.000-05:00

A diesel engine uses only some of the fuel it pulls from the tank. All of that fuel goes to the high-pressure fuel pump, AKA injection pump, and then to the injectors operating under enormous pressure and high temperatures. Part of the purpose of this recirculating method of diesel engines is to provide a cooling affect from the cooler fuel moving through the injection circuit.

The surplus fuel the engine is not using goes back to the tank. This fuel is continuously re-circulated and exposed to extreme pressure and heat, which results in the agglomeration of asphaltenes, high carbon content, and heavy end fuel molecules. This then leads to the formation of larger and larger clusters of solids, which are very difficult to completely combust. These solids may grow so large that they will not pass through the filter element and become part of the polymer and sludge build up plugging the filter.

In addition, the hot fuel coming back to the tank will raise the fuel temperature in the tank, cause condensation and contribute to microbial contamination, fuel break down, bio fouling and the build up of sludge and acid.

Large fuel droplets and high asphaltene concentrations require more time, more energy and higher temperatures to combust than is available in engines during the combustion cycle and before the exhaust valve opens.

Any device in the fuel system exposing the fuel to stress (heat and pressure) such as pumps, heaters, or centrifuges will increase the formation of asphaltenes and negatively impact combustion.

So the next time you are running your engine think about how the stresses affect your fuel quality and how these stresses shorten the life cycle of the fuel. Then call us for a solution....you'll be glad you did.

System Reliability Requires Smart Testing and Maintenance

EPSS Reliability Requires Smart Maintenance

"Reliability and infrastructure health are not guaranteed simply by investing in and installing new equipment. Unexpected failures can compromise even the most robust facility infrastructure if appropriate testing, maintenance and due diligence teqhniques are not employed." Reprint from the BITS Guide To Critical Power, http://www.bitsinfo.org/.

Most emergency power supply system (EPSS) failures occurr because of the lack of smart maintenance and smart testing of equipment and fluids. Some facilities ignore the regular testing and maintenance and then simply replace major equipment when its condition deteriorates past the break even ROI or useable service life. NFPA 110 has addressed the need for testing and maintenance and has updated testing and maintenance requirements in the standard.

What is the "stuff" that clogs my filters?

2009-12-18T14:46:00.000-05:00

Filter plugging can have several causes. Low temperatures cause waxes that are part of the fuel solution to crystallize (AKA-cloud point), which can lead to filter plugging. An example would be using summer diesel in cold weather. Wax or paraffin is part of the diesel fuel. Cold temperatures cause the wax to turn into crystals. These crystals stop the flow of fuel through the filter. A use of an anti-gel or heated filter will help with this problem.

Chemical incompatibility may cause dramatic filter plugging. This may happen when fuels with incompatible additive packages are mixed.

Contaminant build up resulting from excessive microbial growth and bio-degradation of fuel can cause filter plugging. Micro-organisms, bacteria and
enzyme activity, fungus, yeast and mold cause fuel degradation and the formation of waste products. The process is similar to milk turning into cottage cheese, a different form of milk. Of all the microbial debris and waste products in the tank only a small portion are bugs. Even though microbes may cause and accelerate the process of fuel degradation, it should be clear that the waste products clogging your filter are not the microbes but fuel components which have formed solids.

Frequently, the application of a biocide aggravates the situation and turns bio-film into solids, creating a real fuel filter nightmare. Bio film develops through out the entire fuel system. It grows in the water fuel interface and on the walls, baffles, and bottoms of storage tanks. An unlucky end user may be filling up his tank and getting this debris delivered as a part of his fuel, for the same price as the fuel.

Poor thermal fuel stability can plug filters. Fuel will form particulates (solids) when exposed to pumps and the hot surfaces and pressure of the fuel injection system. This will result in an increase in asphaltene agglomerations, polymerization and a dramatic loss of combustion efficiency.

Fuel systems, in general, are designed to return a significant proportion of the fuel, not used for combustion, back to the tank. This return fuel is very hot and will promote polymerization and fuel breakdown. Eventually, more and more solids from the tank will reach the filter and over time, plug the filter. These problems continuously occur in commercially operated engines, such as trucks, heavy equipment, shipping, and power generation, but will also appear in recreational boats, RV's and all types of fuel storage tanks.

Truck engines are used continuously and, in most cases, the tanks "appear to be clean". However, a 2-micron filter element does not last very long, in general 15,000 miles or less. It should be 30,000 miles or more. In the marine industry 400 hours is in many instances normal while filters should easily last 1000 hours or more.

The size of the largest diesel fuel molecule still within specs is approx. 30 Angstrom (that equals approx 0,003 of a micron). Compared to a 10-micron opening in a filter element, one can have 3333 of these particular molecules passing through the opening side by side. E.g. comparing the size of a baseball to two and a half football fields.

Short filter life is quite remarkable realizing how "thin" diesel fuel actually is and knowing how clean the tanks on most trucks "appear" to be.

Short filter life is symptomatic of polymerization, increase in the size of the fuel droplet, agglomeration of asphaltenes and the formation solids in fuel systems. The consequences are carbon build up in engines and exhaust systems, higher fuel consumption and excessive smoke.

What are problems related to long-term fuel storage?

2009-12-15T09:23:00.001-05:00

Fuel stored in tanks for long periods (6 months and more) requires special attention. This fuel suffers from multiple problems that influence it's quality. One of the biggest concerns is water. Some water is delivered with your new fuel. This is emmulsified water and is suspended in the fuel. Some of this entrained water will fall free but not all. Free water is a different animal. This water is introduced from changes in temperature, a poorly designed vent, leaking fittings and more. The presence of free water provides the medium for microbiological growth that results in the formation of slime and acids causing
corrosion of metal surfaces such as storage tanks, pumps, injectors, etc. Left unattended this water layer will trap sludge and become the breeding ground for microbes, fungus, yeast and more. This toxic mix produces acids that fcompromise the integrity of your tank, lines, pumps, fittings and worse, diesel machinery.

Other key factors leading to fuel deterioration, polymerization, and stratification in storage tanks are chemical incompatibility and stress caused by heat and pressure of pumps, centrifuges, and heaters. Since most diesel engines return considerable amounts of fuel back to the tank, it is easy to see that the engine itself contributes to fuel deterioration.

Last but not least for today is natural degredation. Fuel is in fact inherantly unstable. Given enough time diesel fuel will revert back to crude. Asphaltines and paraphins fall out of solution and settle to the tank bottom only to mix with those other components like water and sludge. this cocktail is toxic and can cause serious problems for you, maintenance, and life of your equipment. Left unattended this concoction will certianly cost you money and downtime.

Maintenance on your fuel is as important as maintenance on your engine. Test your fuel to alert you to problems before they get out of hand. Have a reputable firm polish your fuel annually and treat with stabilizers to keep your fuel in spec. Install permanent automated systems to continually filter, condition, and remove water. In the long run you will benefit and save large sums of money.

Fuel Treatment

2009-12-01T08:39:00.000-05:00

With winter fast approaching it is important to speak with your fuel supplier about the additive package they use in your winter fuel. We have seen problems in the past with additive packages. The problem seems to be more pronounced when your engines are of the common rail type. These engines use extreme pressure on the supply fuel side prior to the injectors. In several cases (found in the mining community) there has been a thick brown residue on the injector tips and on the piston crown. In all of these known cases the engine suffered serious power loss and in some instances downtime. We do however know that on vehicles where we have installed the fuel conditioner the engine suffered no injector related problems or downtime.

Isn't my filter supposed to keep my fuel system clean?

2009-11-24T10:25:00.001-05:00

Well, filtration simply cannot and will not do that. At best, filters, separators and centrifuges remove debris suspended in the fuel before the fuel reaches the engine. Stopping, preventing or reversing the process of fuel breakdown is a completely different matter that can be addressed and resolved with ALGAE-X® Fuel Conditioners. It is not very likely that filtration, (either the filter on the engine, or an external filtration system) will remove the sludge coating from the walls and baffles of your storage tank and the use of biocides will almost always aggravate the situation. Filtration has no effect on
fuel break down processes whatsoever.

Filters are primarily designed to remove in-organic debris from the fluid stream and, as we have seen, they become clogged with organic debris, resulting from fuel degradation. The water separator is designed to remove free-water. However, a separator, filter combination or centrifuge cannot remove emulsified water. Free water in fuel can simply be removed from the fuel stream with the use of a water separator. Several well-known and very efficient combination Filter/Water separator devices are on the market. They are essential in any diesel engine application.

Simple in-organic debris, dust, sand, rust, etc. can easily be removed from the fuel stream with a filter. That is what the filter was made for. This in-organic material will be trapped in the filter without clogging it. Most of the debris we see on the filter elements (the stuff that plugs our filters) is the result of the fuel having begun to form solids.

How do we protect stored fuel?

2009-11-18T17:37:00.001-05:00

Good housekeeping and purchasing clean, dry fuel from a reputable supplier are definitely step one.
In applications, such as emergency power generation, we recommend installing a fuel re-circulation/filtration system like the fully automated ALGAE-X® STS Fuel Conditioning and Filtration System.

These commercial high capacity systems typically have the following basic components: a pump, an ALGAE-X® Fuel Conditioner, a filter/water separator, a water block or fine filter, a timer, and an
electronically controlled monitoring systems with alarms.

It is recommended to start out the program with implementing the ALGAE-X® Fuel Catalyst AFC-705 to stabilize the fuel in the tank. Additional components in AFC-705 Fuel Catalyst are corrosion inhibitors and lubricity enhancers to not only preserve fuel integrity, but also to protect your engine equipment.

Traditionally, biocides and filtration were the only treatment available. In many cases, we have seen that this regime caused more harm than good. The use of an adequate fuel quality management program and service, regular fuel testing to monitor fuel integrity are an absolute necessity and will save money. Periodically adding stabilizer is another common practice used for example with nuclear power plants, which all have back-up diesel powered generators.

Installing a dedicated ALGAE-X® Fuel Quality Management system that automatically operates and purifies the fuel is becoming a rapidly accepted standard maintenance for hospitals, computer and telecommunications companies.

We also need to remove from our storage tanks any water and monitor fuel quality for microbial contamination on regular intervals. Since most tanks do not have a water sump or a sloping bottom that can be drained at the lowest point, we may need to find other ways to remove water from the fuel supply. To remove water from fuel tanks we recommend the use of either the ALGAE-X® "Water Eliminator" or an ALGAE-X® Tank Cleaning / Fuel Conditioning and Filtration System.

The ALGAE-X® "Water Eliminator" is either a small nylon or a larger stainless steel cylinder, containing a special polymer. The polymer will absorb the water (not the fuel) for easy removal. The ALGAE-X® MTC is a compact mobile tank cleaning system used to remove water from the tank bottom and works as a fuel dialysis or fuel polishing system.

What is Diesel Fuel?

2009-10-23T17:55:00.004-04:00

Diesel fuel is a very complex mixture of thousands of individual compounds with carbon numbers between 9 and 23 (number of carbon atoms per hydrocarbon* molecule) Most of these compounds are members of the paraffinic, naphthenic or aromatic class of hydrocarbons (HC). These three classes have different chemical and physical properties.
The different relative proportions of the three classes is one of the factors that make one diesel fuel different from another. It influences fuel properties and affects its performance.

Up until about 15-20 years ago, refineries used only about 50% of a barrel of crude oil to make distillates such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. The remainder of the barrel of crude oil went to "residual oil". Today, as a result of different refining techniques, the refinery uses 90% or more of the same barrel of crude, which has consequences for fuel stability.

Differences In Product Results From Refining Technique Changes

More than 90% of the debris on filter elements and the sludge in our storage tanks is organic material, fuel and oil residue from it's breakdown. In most cases, this debris is acidic and not good for your engine. It causes corrosion in injectors, pumps and storage tanks.

Microscopic Pictures Of Organic Sludge

The solids that form as the result of the inherent instability of the fuel and the natural process of degradation will accumulate in the bottom of your tank. The sludge will form a coating or bio-film on the walls and baffles of the tank, plug your filters and impact combustion efficiency. Eventually it will clog fuel lines and ruin your equipment by wearing at the clearances in injectors and pumps as well as the metal used to build tanks.

*Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen divided in four major classes: paraffins, naphthenes, olefins, and aromatics. These classes share common structural features but differ in size, (number of carbon atoms per molecule) and/or geometry. While hydrogen and carbon are the predominant elements in crude oil, small amounts of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen are also present and referred to as hetero-atoms (other-atoms). Compounds containing hetero-atoms are non-hydrocarbons. Typical non-hydrocarbons found in diesel are dibenzothiophene and carbazole, which play a large role in determining certain fuel properties.

Diesel fuel is a living thing. It suffers from aging much like any organic compound. Left sitting diesel fuel will try very hard to revert back to crude. Rapid use of your fuel does not eliminate this problem, it only prolongs the results. By taking a proactive approach you can reverse the signs of aging and keep your diesel fuel in optimal quality at all times. Learn more at Cleanfuelmanagement.com or see additional white papers at

Why Is My Diesel Fuel Clogging My Filters

2009-10-22T08:35:00.011-04:00

Did you know, your diesel fuel is spoiling while you sleep?

Diesel fuel quality issues are creating a heightened level of concern for consumers worldwide. Fuel deterioration is a primary cause of clogged filters, loss of engine power, and worst of all, engine failure. By educating yourself, and preparing your equipment for this inevitable failure, you can avoid emergency problems and insure a continuous flow of clean, clear and optimal diesel fuel to your equipment.

Before we deal with the solution we must first understand the problem. Diesel fuel is an organic compound that is refined from crude oil. Through the refining process the resulting fuel molecules become polarized and unstable. We will deal with polarization and stability one by one.

The effect of the polarized molecules allows these to recombine or attach to one another ending up, over time, in a cluster of what we commonly refer to as sludge. Sludge is the extreme effect of these clusters. At the point that you can see the formations it is too late. Your engine pulls this sludge into the fuel system, the filter traps most of it in the filter media, and when the sludge covers enough of the filter media to prevent fuel flow, the engine shuts down.

The particles that get through the filter cause damage to the very fine passages in your injectors and pump. You can change the filter and wait for the next event or begin a proactive approach, through annual tank cleaning or permanent automated fuel polishing systems, that deal with the root cause of this polarization. Look for a future article on “How Magnetic Fuel Conditioning Works”.

Secondly is the issue of stability. During refinement an oxygen molecule is stripped from the chain of thehydrocarbon fuel molecule. Needing to fill that void is the desire of the fuel molecule. Since refining uses high pressure steam in most cases the simplest way to fill this void is to grab an oxygen molecule from the steam during the cracking process. Unfortunately there are also a couple of hydrogen molecules attached to the water molecule that fuel just grabbed. In fuel speak this is known as entrained or emulsified water and is carried with the fuel for the rest of it’s life. In most cases this is not seriously harmful on it’s own but when left to rest this water combined with other free water will create a recipe for disaster. Because, when your engine is running the fuel is drawn into the system and is separated at the filter. The level continues to elevate until the high water alarm sounds or until the filter flow is blocked and fuel ceases to flow. In extreme cases when using substandard filters the water continues through the system thereby damaging injection pumps and injectors.

Getting the water, particulate (dirt) and sludge out of your fuel prior to use by the engine is, and must be, your prime focus. There are systems that clean your fuel and keep your fuel in optimal condition at all times. These systems circulate fuel outside of the engine fuel system. Our fuel polishing systems provide primary filtration, magnetic fuel conditioning, and secondary filtration. They utilize a free water removal filter on the inlet side and in most cases a water block filter on the discharge side. Go to our Cleanfuelmanagement site to see and learn more.
