Oilybits Fuel Purifiers, Remove 99.997% of Water

Product Information

Oilybits Fuel Purifiers

Oilybits Fuel Purifiers utilize the principle of Coalescence to split water from fuels, and separate them so that the water can be drained off without the use of filters

The Black Cylinder of the Coalescer is fitted with precision machined, perforated baffles into which hundreds, or thousands of Activated Alumina balls are trapped, Activated alumina is the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies (but without the impurities that give those gems their color), it has a high surface-area to weight ratio due to its high porisity, and this is the key feature which enables it to remove water from fuel. The fuel enters the column via one of the side ports, where it is piped to the bottom, to make its way through the Alumina balls, on its way back up to the other horizontal port opposing the inlet. As the fuel is spread over and through the balls, The differing surface tension and density between fuel and water molecules, cause water and dirt molecules to separate from fuel molecules, finally these agglomerate to form a droplet, which then sinks to the bottom of the cylinder from where it an be drained via a tap

It is essential that the coalescer is run at at the specified optimum flow rate, as if the flow rate is too great then the turbulence will mix up all the water and flush it straight through the coalescer, resulting in zero separation as if the coalescer were just a black pipe

In independent lab tests the Coalescers were tested with a single pass of diesel, rigorously shaken with water and dirt. The coalescer removed an astonishing 99.9997% of all water in the fuel, and 95% of the dirt, beyond even the original sample purity before the water was added.

Most interestingly the coalescers are available in ANY size, providing that stock tube can be found of the correct diameter, standard tube diameters are 3", 5", 8", and 16". These towers can therefore be used for large scale fuel purification and reprocessing of recovered or waste fuels, or fitted into bulk tank filling apparatus to ensure a high quality of fuel is delivered to the customer

An optional water sensor can be fitted to the coalescers to alert to the presence of water, an operator can then drain the water from the system via the tap in the bottom.

Remember, fuel is an expensive commodity... by protecting the quality of your fuel, and thereby reducing engine damage caused by bad fuel, you are protecting your fuel stock, your capital investments, and minimising the down time of your plant and servicing costs. Dependent on the scale of your operation, a Coalescer, or one of our Fuel Polishing Systems will pay for itself in a relatively short peroiod of time
