Diesel Fuel Systems: Reduce Fouling with Biocide Treatments

Diesel system plays critical role for oil and gas production facilities. This system is used for emergency shutdown of production systems or emergency power generation. That is why it is crucial to have good quality diesel fuel.

Diesel in offshore and remote onshore shipped onsite and stored for the long time. Therefore, degradation of its quality occurs. One of the common degradation mechanisms is #microbiologicalcontamination leading to severe fouling in strainers, pH reduction and H2S generation causing storage tanks and pipework corrosion. Below you may see photos of diesel fuel system conditions one of offshore production platforms where diesel fuel quality was one of the tough operational issue.

The best way to prevent such problem is to develop and apply #biocidetreatment program. There are wide range of products supplied by #NalcoChampion and #BakerHughes which will support high quality of diesel fuel in your system.
