Contaminated diesel fuel is a persistent problem that can happen at various stages along the supply chain. From the moment fuel leaves the refinery until it reaches your machinery, there are numerous chances for it to pick up impurities. These may include water ingress during storage, microbial growth in tanks, and solid particles that can degrade fuel quality. If left unaddressed, these contaminants can result in fuel degradation, clogged filters, and even engine breakdowns.

Contaminated diesel doesn’t just lead to inefficient engine performance; it also increases wear and tear, requiring more frequent maintenance. Moreover, downtime caused by engine failure can disrupt operations, resulting in significant financial losses for businesses.

 

Where Does Diesel Fuel Get Contaminated?

Solid Contamination

Solid particles can severely damage engines by blocking injection nozzles, affecting combustion, and increasing wear on engine components.

Effective continuous diesel filtration removes these particles, allowing engines to run more smoothly and preventing costly downtime.

Water

Water accumulation in diesel fuel can cause significant issues in engine performance, such as power loss and increased wear. High water levels also speed up corrosion of metal parts and encourage microbial growth.

Ongoing and effective water separation minimizes these risks, ensuring the durability and reliable operation of diesel engines in vehicles and machinery.

Diesel Bug

The diesel bug, or microbial contamination, leads to inefficient systems. Filters need replacing more often, causing increased maintenance needs and unnecessary resource consumption.

This problem is especially significant for fluid conditioning using filters like fuel filters. Microbial growth typically occurs due to water ingress, forming a biofilm that creates a slimy layer at the boundary between water and fuel.

To prevent this and avoid costly downtime, HYDAC provides innovative solutions that remove water and filter fuel throughout every stage of the process.

1 - Prevent Microbiological Growth

 

HYDAC Dieselmicron: Two-Stage Filtration for Clean Diesel

HYDAC Biomicron: The Antimicrobial Solution Against Diesel Bug

Free water in tanks promotes the rapid growth of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms. HYDAC's filter element technology with triple protection effectively prevents this issue. Built upon the two-stage Dieselmicron® technology, the Biomicron® provides three benefits in one: particle filtration, water separation, and protection against microbial growth. The Biomicron® interrupts cellular metabolism, preventing microbiological growth. Its two-stage element structure enables coalescence and establishes a hydrophobic barrier for water separation.

 

2 - Pre-Filters and Water Separators with Biomicron and Dieselmicron Element Technology

HYDAC HDP High Tech

HYDAC HDP Best Cost with Manual Dewatering

The HYDAC Diesel PreCare cup filter system is also offered as a cost-effective version with a manual water drain, alongside the fully automatic option. A hand pump can be integrated into the manual solution, conveniently placed directly on the pre-filter in the bypass. This design prevents any pressure loss and eliminates the need for extra fittings to install the hand pump separately in the suction line.

 

HYDAC HDP Best Cost with an Electric Pump

In addition to water and solid contaminants, air is another unwanted factor that can disrupt systems. Unlike traditional methods, where a manual suction pump is positioned in the suction line, resulting in high differential pressure, HYDAC offers a more refined solution: by integrating the pump into the filter, it removes the need for labor-intensive manual pumping and enhances the engine's start-up performance.

 

HYDAC HDM Diesel Maincare

The HDM cup filter system meets key market demands with its high contamination retention capacity, compact design, and environmentally friendly disposal. It effectively filters diesel and biofuel in the main flow, achieving cleanliness levels of 12/9/6 even under engine vibrations and load fluctuations. Beyond the standard offering, we also develop custom main filter modules upon request.

Custom Thermoforming

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process used to shape plastic sheets into various custom design products. It involves heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then using a mold or a vacuum to form it into the desired custom shape.

Thermoforming and vacuum forming are both processes used to shape plastic sheets into specific forms. However, there are some differences between the two techniques:

1. Process: In thermoforming, a plastic sheet is heated until it becomes pliable, and then it is pressed against a mold using pressure or a vacuum. Vacuum forming, on the other hand, relies solely on the use of a vacuum to draw the heated plastic sheet onto the mold.

2. Mold complexity: Thermoforming is typically used for more complex shapes and intricate molds, as it allows for greater detail and precision. Vacuum forming, on the other hand, is better suited for simpler shapes and molds that do not require as much detail.

3. Material thickness: Thermoforming is often used for thicker plastic sheets, typically ranging from 0.030 to 0.250 inches in thickness. Vacuum forming is more commonly used for thinner plastic sheets, typically ranging from 0.005 to 0.060 inches in thickness.

4. Production volume: Thermoforming is generally more suitable for high-volume production due to its faster cycle times and ability to handle larger sheets of plastic. Vacuum forming is better suited for low to medium volume production, as it has slower cycle times and is limited by the size of the vacuum forming machine.

5. Cost: Thermoforming typically requires more expensive equipment and molds, making it a more costly process compared to vacuum forming. Vacuum forming, on the other hand, is a more cost-effective option for smaller production runs or prototypes.

Overall, thermoforming is a more advanced and versatile process that offers greater precision and complexity, while vacuum forming is a simpler and more cost-effective option for less complex shapes and smaller production volumes.

Thermoforming is a versatile process that is widely used in industries such as packaging, automotive, aerospace, and medical. It offers advantages such as cost-effectiveness, quick turnaround times, and the ability to produce complex shapes with high precision.
