CTS Recirculation Units

Replacement filters for the advanced fuel conditioner - CTS1080

This kit consists of 1 x CTH1851 - 2 Micron Filter Element & 1 x R14862000 - 10 Micron Filter Element

This Fuel Conditioner is suitable for tanks storing up to 40,000 litres of Diesel / HVO. A microbial growth called diesel bug forms when Diesel fuel isn't used, or is stored for long periods of time. This is caused by water in the fuel. The advanced fuel conditioner prevents this from happening by keeping the diesel free of contaminants which would otherwise cause damage to machinery and vehicles.

The fuel conditioner is engineered to obtain a target multi-pass ISO 14/13/11 level, with laboratory tests showing water content removal to under 60ppm. The unit comes with a Piusi Panther pump, two Cim-Tek Ultimate Defence particle and water filters, and a magnetic fuel conditioner to break up diesel bug sludge that forms when water enters and contaminates the diesel fuel.

The biggest benefit of this fuel conditioner over alternatives is it's operational intelligence to help prevent any downtime in fuel conditioning. There is a custom micro controller with a touch screen display for clear visual warnings of fuel filter degradation and blocks, the time until the next run cycle, an event and alarm log, and flow trends for filter life expectancy, allowing pre-emptive replacements of filters. The fuel conditioner has an input for a fuel tank alarm or gauge and leak detection probe to detect a low fuel level and leak, where if activated, the fuel pump will turn off until the issue is resolved, as well as two passive BMS outputs for remote warning of fuel filter block and low level/leak to alert the user that they need to take action.

The system run times are automatically set based upon the fuel tank size and run between 9am-5pm, Mon to Fri to ensure conditioning of 1.5 x the tank capacity per month. However this is customisable depending upon customer requirements.

Replacement filters for the CTS Recirculation Pump - CTS1033 & CTS1048

This kit consists of 1 x F00611030A - 5 Micron Fuel Filter Element & 1 x F00611040A - 30 Micron Water/Particle Filter.

The Fuel Recirculation Unit was developed to prevent diesel fuel inside a storage tank from getting stagnant - particularly those with low usage such as generator back up tanks, that whilst not regularly used are of vital importance. When fuel sits stagnant for long periods of time, microbial growth known as diesel bugs begin to form, join together and create a nasty biofilm. By keeping the fuel moving and free of the contaminants that can get sucked into pumps, equipment and vehicles, costly damage and downtime can be avoided.

The fuel storage tank circulation system draws the fuel up from the front of the tank through the magnetic conditioner, which stuns the bugs, breaking them down into a size that will pass through a two stage water and particle filtration process to remove any impurities. The cleaner fuel is then circulated back into the tank, before the bugs have been able to group and create the nasty sludge.

The storage tank recirc unit has an input for connecting to an alarm/gauge to detect a low fuel level and a leak probe for a drip tray (if installed). Benefiting from a control panel with large, coloured lights, any issues that need to be dealt with i.e. filter blocked, low fuel level, a leak or a system fault can be easily diagnosed. If the system identifies any of the above issues, the pump will turn off until necessary action has been taken as a safeguard. Complete with two BMS outputs, the control panel can also send a signal of this to warn users remotely.

There are two versions of Fuel Tank Circulation System; one for circulating (50lpm) a maximum of 3000 litres per day for tanks up to 40,000 litres, and another for circulating (70lpm) a maximum of 4000 litres per day for tanks up to 70,000 litres. Tank contents should be recirculated every 28 days to prevent bacteria colonies from forming. Our systems are set to turn over 1.5 times the tank contents every 28 days to include a safety margin.
