Addressing Fuel Contamination in Horizontal Above Ground Storage Tanks: The Unseen Threat to Your Business.  In the energy sector, operational efficiency and productivity ultimately define your bottom line. However, an unseen menace lurks inside your fuel storage tanks - contamination caused by slime, sludge, and algae.

The attached photo provides an illustration of a typical horizontal above ground storage tank. Within, unnoticed by the naked eye, microbial growth can exponentially proliferate. Slimy biofilms form, algae burgeon, and sludge deposits accumulate. This unholy trio forms a severe fuel contamination in horizontal above ground storage tanks that can critically impact your operations.

Fuel Contamination

The Breakdown: How Slime, Sludge, and Algae Hurts You
Slime and Algae: Microbial growths such as slime and algae need water to survive. They cause tank corrosion, clog filters and injectors, and deteriorate the fuel quality. This, in turn, can lead to machinery breakdown, increased downtime, and potentially expensive system overhauls.

Sludge: As a by-product of microbial activity or fuel degradation, sludge piles up at the tank's bottom. Its accumulation reduces tank capacity and, when stirred up, can damage the equipment it flows through, leading to unwanted repair or replacement costs.

In essence, these contaminants decrease the efficiency of your fuel and equipment, necessitating frequent, costly maintenance, and even risk ruining your reputation with unscheduled service interruptions.
