FEATURED CASE STUDY

Proven Result:
Improved Reliability of Emergency Vehicles

Customer
City of Houston

Location
TX, USA

Equipment
Municipal Fuel Depot

Application
Fuel Dispenser

Challenge
Remove sludge found in the city’s underground fuel depots to protect emergency vehicle engines (police cars, fire trucks, and maintenance equipment). The fuel depots are underground and made of a fiber glass composite with little to no ferrous metal.

Solution
Clean the fuel tank and install an OEI high flow magnetic filter scrubber inline, prior to the metering pump.

Results
Just 3 days (3,000 gal) after the magnetic filter element had been cleaned, a substantial amount of ferrous metal was extracted. If left in the fluid this sludge will prematurely wear the injector nozzles and the injector pump, decreasing the equipments performance and efficiency.

OEI magnetic filters are designed for 95+% efficiency: they are optimized for fluid viscosity, flow volume, flow rate, temperature, mobility, and mounting requirements.

Use of the OEI Data Form will provide the necessary specifications for OEI to
determine which product is right for you.
