ALGAE-X launches fuel polishing system


System is said to stabilize and optimize fuel, keeping it in pristine, 'clear & bright' condition.



ALGAE-X International (AXI), a Florida-based manufacturer of diesel fuel quality optimization technology, has today announced the release of the SMART FPS Compact Fuel Polishing System.

Used in applications where engine reliability is important, like emergency generators and recreational or commercial marine, the SMART FPS Compact is said to stabilize fuel, keeping it in pristine, 'clear & bright' condition.

"The SMART FPS Compact uses AXI’s ALGAE-X Fuel Conditioner to optimize fuel for peak engine performance, greater reliability and less pollution. Its small footprint of only 10-by-7 inches makes the SMART FPS Compact Fuel Polishing System the ideal solution when space is a commodity," said Wout Lisseveld, AXI’s CEO.

AXI designed the SMART FPS Compact Fuel Polishing System for use in remote locations where fuel quality is often questionable. Even fresh fuel may contain water, sediment and microbes upon delivery. The SMART FPS Compact polishes and optimizes fuel at 80 gallons per hour, with particulate filtration as fine as 10-microns.

AXI’s patented Green Clean Certified Technology and Equipment is said to restore, optimize, and maintain fuel quality, guaranteeing peak engine performance and reliable power while lowering operating costs.
