Earlier this year, Algae-X International developed a new line of
Fuel Polishing and Transfer Systems. The design is modular so that the proper system can be chosen for each marine application.
Fuel stability in general has not improved in recent years, while engines have become
much more fuel-sensitive. The introduction of ultra low sulfur fuel and the
increasing use of bio-fuels have negatively impacted fuel stability and caused
a dramatic increase in filter plugging and injection system failures.
The new and innovative SMART FPS systems eliminate and prevent these
problems. Traditional fuel treatment focuses on keeping the day tanks clean,
but leaves fuel in the bulk tank untreated. Avoiding fuel-related engine performance headaches is critical in situations such as
storms, close maneuvering, potentially lower fuel quality at supply points, or
just being out at sea.
The Smart FPS (Fuel Polishing System) is available in a number of different
configurations, from 300 (DX), 600 (SX), 1.000 (MX), 2.000 (LX) up to 6.000
(XL) liters per hour. The smallest system, Smart FPS-DX, runs on 12-24 VDC. The rest run on 110-230 VAC. These systems come with either a Racor or a Separ
filter/separator, a gear pump, and a magnetic fuel conditioner.
From the Smart FPS/MX on up, an optional water block fine filter is
available. These systems use cast iron, heavy-duty, positive displacement gear
pumps, with thermal overload protection on the electric motors for a long
system life. The plumbing on the systems is mainly all stainless steel with 37-degree
JIC fit tings, to make for a leak-free operation. The system is mounted on a
strong powder coated back plate with drip tray.
