ADPCS

 A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO DIESEL

CONTAMINATION CONTROL.
 Why ADPCS so
important nowadays?
 Uncontrolled contamination from operating
Environment, Physical constraints of conventional
filters, deficiency in storage and handling of fuel

CONTAMINATION IS
UNAVOIDABLE

TYPICAL FUEL STORAGE AT MANY REMOTE SITES

Contamination in Storage Tanks

+
High pressure Common Rail
Injection Systems
 Engine Repair =
High costs and downtime
 Why does it happen?
 Inadequate filtration and conditioning of diesel.
 Water and microbial by products adversely
affecting diesel‘s characterisitcs including
lubricity.
 Extreme sensitivity of high pressure fuel systems
to fuel quality.
 Traditional filters are not able to cope up with
increasing contamination. Filters get choked
fast and causes fuel pump to work under stress-
Water and fine contaminants finding its way to
high pressure system causing premature
failures-
 ADCPS can help solve this
problem effectively
 Ecotech Diesel Purification and Conditioning
System will first stop and protect diesel from bio
degradation causing microbial activity, then
removes entire free water and some amount of
dissolved water –to less than 100ppm
 Active components : Ecotech Fuelmag diesel
conditioner and SEPAR 2000 diesel water separator
prefilter.

 SEPAR 2000 Highlights
1. Smallest footprint compared to flow rate

2. Lowest pressure drop over the industry

3. High degree of water and particulate separation

4. Simple and quick installation. Inlet and outlet

ports are provided on either sides
in- and outlets

5. Back flushing capability which extends service

time of the filter element

6. Longer lifetime and efficiency for the secondary

filter

7. Easy maintenance
Efficiency > 99.9%
 STAGE 1

From the inlet port,

fuel flows through the
internal vane system
which forces the fuel
in a circular motion
STAGE 2

Due to this intense spin

water drops and heavier
particles are forced to the
wall of the bowl, caused
by artificial gravity. They
sink to the bottom of the
bowl by natural gravity.
 STAGE 3

The fuel which still is in circular motion has to pass

the outside vanes. Due to the different length of
those vanes (vaccuum effect )and the twofold rapid
change of the flow direction (gravity) smallest drop-
lets and particles settle on the vanes. By forming
agglomerates and due to vibration the droplets and
particulates will sink to the bottom of the bowl once
and a while due to gravity.
 STAGE 4

Around the vane system the flow area

is confined which result in a high flow
velocity. If the fuel reaches the area
beneath the filter element the flow
space will open up and reduce the
flow velocity considerably. Now finest
suspended droplets and particles can
settle down on the cone of the vane
system dropping to the bowl if they
have grown heavy due agglomeration.
STAGE 5

The remaining impurities are

trapped by the filter element, which
is available with different pore
ratings.
Fuel is passing the filtermedia,
which is cellulose based and
specially formulated resin treated, to
achieve long term hydrophobic
effects.
The clean fuel is leaving the SEPAR
filter system by one of the two
outlet ports.
Backflushing process BLEED SCREW

1. Switch off the engine.

2. Open the bleed valve.
3. Open the drain valve.
4. Clean fuel above the
filterelement will flush
back through the
filtermedia and will clean
the filtermedia from
trapped impurities.
5. Close the drain valve.
6. Close the bleed valve.
7. Prime the fuel system
DRAIN VALVE
from air.
8. Restart the engine.
 Installation of the filter

The Separ 2000 should be installed on the suction side between tank
and fuel lift pump.
The ideal position for the filter is at the same height as the fuel lift
pump.A Shut-off valve should be installed if the tank is in a lower or
higher position than the SEPAR 2000.
 Sizing of the SEPAR Filters
 The filter flow rate has always to exceed the maximum
lifting capacity of the fuel delivery pump.
 Example: Flow rate of the pump 7.8 l/min
corresponding filter will be 2000/10
 Available filter flow rates:

SWK 2000/5/50 = 5 l/min SWK 2000/10 = 10 l/min

EVO/10 = 10l/min SWK 2000/18 = 18 l/min
SWK 2000/40 = 40 l/min SWK 2000/130 = 130 l/min
