Algae-X — Optimal Fuel and Oil Quality

Created with the premise of reversing the process of fuel breakdown, Algae-

X's fuel conditioning process optimizes fuel droplet size, which is designed to result in combustion efficiency, improved filterability, as well as lower operating costs.

Based in Fort Meyers, Fla., Algae-X provides upgrades to the combustion process of engines and turbines.

According to the company, improved combustion saves fuel and reduces car- bon deposits, smoke, harmful emissions and maintenance. In addition, the com- pany also works to preserve fuel once it is stored and can also improve its filter- and inorganic debris from the fuel, the system also eliminates microbial con- tamination.

Principal components include:

Algae-X works to remove the sludge and water that can accumulate at the bot- tom of fuel and oil storage tanks via its

MTC 1000 system.

Developed to naturally remove these deposits, the system is a three-stage fuel conditioning and tank cleaning system that can remove free water and particu- late down to five micron. Subsequently, the fuel is treated with A1 g a e - X' s

Magnetic Fuel Conditioner — reversing the process of fuel breakdown. The last stage following the filter bypass involves an industrial type water block fine filter that removes the smallest of particles and in-trained water.

Options on the MTC 1000 include: water sensor alarm, automatic drain valve and remote monitoring.

Algae-X in mid-April introduced its latest model Fuel Polishing &

Recirculating System - the FPS-500.
