SCOTTISH FISHERIES PROTECTION
VESSELS The vessel experienced microbial fuel contamination during bad
weather, a built-up of a sludge type biomass in the fuel feed line to the
purifier halving its capacity from 1 tonne per hour to 0.5 tonnes per
hour. Fuel strainers on the feed lines to the 2 x 3,000 HP engines had to
be cleaned every ten days to prevent fuel starvation. After
installing De Bug Model L4000, fuel restrictions eliminated and the cleaning cycle for engine
strainers increased to ten weeks; a 700% increase in
life |

DEEP SUBMERGENCE RESCUE VEHICLE SUPPORT SHIP (DSESS) KELLIE
CHOUEST, This vessel was leased to the US Navy for research, rescue and
retrieval, suffered severe algae contamination. The fuel filters required
replacement every few hours. After installing the De-Bug in the fuel
supply lines, IT solved the
microbial contamination problem and allowed fuel filters to be
replaced at normal servicing
intervals. |
CHANNEL
ISLANDS 每 INCONNU 每 60 FT FISHING VESSEL
Inconnu,
a 60ft crab and lobster fishing vessel off the Channel Islands experienced
fuel starvation due to filter blockage. The problem became so severe that
the filters were replaced every day. Treating the fuel with Biocide only
increased filter life to two days! After
installing De Bugs, the contamination problem was eradicated. The filter
life increased to 40 days. The owner also stopped using expensive
chemicals. |

SEMO
MARINE CO LTD:
Average fuel
consumption reduced by 8%, Average Exhaust
Temp reduced by 6%, Filter change reduced by 66%. Prior to fitting De-Bug Units injector nozzles had to be
