DIAGNOSIS /TREATMENT OF MICROBES(DIESEL BUG ) FUEL polishing is the technical cleaning proces used to remove or filter contaminations from oils and hydrocarbons fuels in storage. It is essentially the removal of waters,sediments and microbial contaminations from such fuels as: diesels,red diesels and
bio diesels . The fuels contamination also known as" fuel bug" or diesels bug or so called algae build up over time in a stored fuels if they aren't diagnosed and treated on a regular basis. be taken before fuels polishing is commenced so that the exalt contamination problems can be rectified with a targeted solutions, a second fuel test should be performed afterwards. Diesel bug is contamination of diesel fuels by microorganisms such as;bacteria, fungi and algae, water can get into fuel as a result of condensation, rain water Pe*******on or absorption from the air, modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic, the present of water encourages microbial growths which either occur at the interface between the oil and the waters or on the tank walls depending on whether the microbes needs oxygen or not,species which may grow includes; bacteria, algae and bacteria,
fuel companies agreed that if left unchecked fuels will remain reliable for only 6 to12 months after which contamination ( diesel bug) begins to appears,
most industrial engines manufacturers now recommend a fuel conditioning programs to ensure the reliability of the fuel. HOW TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FUELS CONTAMINATION S OCCURRING;
1: ensure all tanks are well maintained ,in good conditions and leak free.
2;keep fuels cools( below20" c) by storing under shade to minimize waters absorptions.
3;keep fuel tank full to reduce water condensation from moistures and Laden's air
4; Use tank drain to periodically remove button waters, sludge and sediments.
5; INTRODUCE A FUEL CONDITIONING PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDES: regular test programs to check fuels for waters, particulates and microbial contamination's.
6 SUPPORT THE ON TANK POLISHING UNITS WITH:
1* fuels additives, conditioning and biocides to maintain fuel stability and to minimize microbial growths.
