Fuel Oil Conditioning System

This automated Algae-X Fuel Oil Conditioning System treats all fuel going from the storage tanks to the GE turbine in a Power Plant in Qatar. It continuously provides optimal quality fuel with less than 2.6 ppm of contaminant at less than 5 micron in size and less than 200 ppm of water.

The skid is equipped with two filter/water separator vessels with coalescing and filtration elements. The water separated from the supplied fuel oil is collected and automatically drained. Its control panel with all the safety and alarm functions is directly wired into the plant’s business management center to be monitored and managed from the plant’s control room.

The system’s capacity is 30,000 liters/hour and operates at a continuous duty cycle flow rate of 325 liters per minute (86 Gallons per minute)
