How
De Bug Kills Diesel Bugs
In a nutshell, fuel from the fuel tank
passes through De-Bug before it reaches the primary fuel filter is subjected to
magnetic fields of calculated intensity and orientation. Magnetic fields or
fluxes explode, break up and
destroy all microbes present in the fuel and reducing them into finer debris.
The bugs are broken up from 1
micron in diameter to now much smaller than 1 micron in sizes. The residual neutralized microbial debris
continues in the fuel stream and is burned along with the fuel in the combustion
chamber. The result is the clean fuel before it reaches the
primary fuel filter.
Cleaner fuel means better combustion and better "oomph." This translates to better fuel
efficiency. That's how fuel savings come about.
De Bug is a cost effective one time investment as well as permanent
installation and permanent solution to combat microbial diesel fuel
contamination. It has no moving
parts; no electrical current supply required and is maintenance free. It's
designed to "install it and forget it." It may require occasional cleaning by
draining out the fuel inside.
Unlike using chemicals such as biocins or biocides, there is no "dead
bug sludge" accumulated at the bottom of the diesel fuel tank. Instead, the soft microbes are now
broken up into sub-micron debris. The fast moving diesel fuel easily pass
through the ceramic magnets 
and carrying along with it the debris of
broken up cells into the fuel filter which then burnt in the combustion chamber,
leaving no build-up inside the tanks or the De-Bug unit.
Hence, once with De Bugs installed, the diesel fuel will be continuously treated and protected from microbial contamination from diesel bugs. De Bugs give you a "peace of mind" against microbial contamination of the diesel fuel.

De
Bug - the "Real McCoy" and "One & Only Kind" in the
World
De
Bug was developed more than 30 years ago in Wellington, New Zealand. It is the
"real McCoy" and is one and only kind that works effectively in treating,
eliminating and preventing microbial diesel fuel contamination. There are some "single" magnet
competitive products that clamped between the fuel lines and claims to eliminate
microbial fuel contamination. Watch
out for imitation!
Compare
the single magnets with De Bug's "tri-magnets" or multiple-magnets stacks, the
single magnet devices do not perform effectively. De Bug's inventors in its
early developmental stage has already tried and tested the single magnet
configuration. But they found the single magnet configurations are not as
effective as tri-magnets or multiple magnets stacks.
The
effectiveness and performance of De Bugs can be verified by the profile of its
significant clients. For instance,
they include US Coastguards, Royal British Navy, Royal British Customs,
Singapore Navy, Singapore PSA, New York Hospital, Google, NZ Parliament
Building, NATO etc¡
De
Bug also has Certificate of Type Approval from Bureau Veritas (BV) and ABS
(American Bureau of Shipping) and has NATO Parts Number. It also supplies the De
Bugs under an OEM agreement with a large Scandinavian diesel engine and
industrial equipment manufacturer. This itself is a living proof that De Bug
performs what the manufacturer claims it will perform.
Benefits
of De Bug
?
"Peace of Mind," Continuously treats, eliminates and prevents
microbial contaminations of diesel fuel
?
No development of dead bug sludge at bottom of diesel fuel
tank
?
Cleaner and longer primary filter life - savings in filter
replacements
?
More efficient fuel combustion - fuel saving between 5.0%-20%
?
Reduces emission of black soot by 25% to 50%
?
Reduces engine wear and tear
?
Cleaner combustion chamber through reduced carbon deposits
?
Reduces corrosion of fuel pumps, fuel injectors, engine metal
components, brittle rubber and plastic components etc.
?
Enhances engine performance
?
Minimizes loss of productivity due to downtime
?
Easy to install and requires minimal maintenance "install it and
forget it." No moving parts to service
?
Savings from using expensive poisonous chemicals such as biocins and
biocides to eliminate diesel bugs
Peace of Mind
De Bugs eliminate 97.5% of diesel bugs going through the ceramic
magnets in a single pass. It gives you the "peace of mind" assuring that your
fuel is always free of microbial contamination.
Value for Money
A one time installation investment will give you long term benefits
of 8-10 years.
Better Engine Performance
The engine burns better, cleaner combustion chamber and less wear and
tear
Fuel Efficiency
Cleaner fuel means better combustions, giving more "oomph" or power,
resulting in fuel savings. Fuel savings ranging from 10%-20% has been reported
by end users.
Cleaner Diesel Fuel
Cleaner fuel means less clogging of fuel filters, hence, savings in
regular fuel filter replacement
Reduce in Maintenance Costs
There is less likelihood of engine breakdowns caused by contaminated
diesel fuel related problems. Thus,
there is saving in loss of productivity due to downtime and repair related
costs.
Environment Friendly
De Bug is environmentally friendly in eliminating microbial diesel
contamination. Unlike chemical additives, they are not only expensive and
require repeating dozing to be effective, they are very poisonous and pose health hazards to both human
and the marine lives.
