Fuel Polishing / Fuel Cleaning

 

Lehane Environmental can provide for diesel fuel filtration or polishing which is necessary for the removal of contaminants such as water, fungus and microbes which often develop into thick sludge.

Stored diesel fuel will deteriorate over time and in several different ways. The most common is through water contamination (condensation). This is where water molecules can infiltrate the fuel molecules. Water then displaces the diesel fuel inside the diesel engine, increasing wear because of the lubrication's absence.

The infiltration of water encourages bacterial growth within the diesel fuel causing fine sediments and bacterial residues to form, these may eventually sink to the bottom of the tank resulting in filter blockage, fuel pump wear, diesel engine damage or engine shut down.

Lehane Environmental provide Total Environmental Solutions for your Fuel Polishing project - from testing through to permitted collection, transportation and disposal of fuel contaminants.
