Mining
 Mining
presents one of the biggest challenges to fuel quality
that is known. Short term storage, long term
storage, unknown or undeclared additives used by the
fuel vendors, and unnecessary filter changes are all
problems that require assessment prior to any solution.
The typical industrialized mining
operation requires large amounts of fuel stored on
site to avert environmental factors and eliminate
downtime due to delivery problems. Due to the
fact that the fuel has no time to settle we see large
amounts of emulsified water and particulates. The
particulates can generally be handled by filter vessels.
Deteriorated fuel transferred from the fuel supplier
will eventually get pumped into your equipment.
This sludge will clog filters and reduce engine
performance, thereby slowing the production of any major
piece of equipment.
Our
LGX Series Fuel Conditioners will prevent and or
solve this problem. Using an LGX Fuel Conditioner
will extend filter life and help ensure that the
equipment will meet filter PM or perhaps longer.
Clean fuel also ensures that the engine does not suffer
reduced power or efficiency.
Stored fuel is generally kept in an
environment that is less than ideal. Dust, dirt,
water, snow and ice are just a few of the contaminants
that are lurking for the chance to cause damage to your
equipment. Most mining operations do not see
serious problems in the warmer months. However,
when things get cooler the fuel's
pour point changes and begins to gel. In some
cases the emulsified water in fuel will actually freeze
in the filters on the machinery. When this happens
the machine goes down and production either slows or
stops. This costs any mining operation money.
And every mine maintenance manager serious headaches.
What is your
cost due to poor fuel quality?
- Unscheduled
Filter Changes?
- Equipment
Downtime?
- Injection
Equipment Repairs?
- Loss of
Production?
- Poor Engine
Performance?
Our solutions are studied on a case by
case basis to determine the proper solution. These
solutions range from special filtration to
stationary tank fuel maintenance to
mobile tank polishing and cleaning. These products will keep
your fuel maintained
and meet the ASTM standard.
We have these case studies to offer as
proof.
