Diesel engines in nuclear power plants are part of the auxiliary systems and must be able to respond quickly in the event of an accident. The accumulation of free water in diesel fuel storage tanks, caused by temperature fluctuations, leads to corrosion of components and the growth of microorganisms that can block filters, nozzles and pipes.
Filtration Group’s FTS system, typically used in the marine sector, is increasingly being implemented in power plants. It features two stages in series that filter particles and dirt and separate through coalescing membranes. The water content is kept low, allowing the fuel to be used at any time.
vantaggi
- Extended fuel storage is safe
- Free water in the fuel is consistently kept below the critical limit
- Cost reduction thanks to lower maintenance requirements and reduced wear
- Replacement of unused fuels is no longer necessary
- Fuel quality inspections can be significantly reduced
