FUEL TEST
If there are problems with filters, injectors, pumps or diesel quality in general, it is advisable to take a bottom sample from the tank(s) and have it analysed. Sometime the diesel is so filthy that the conclusion is obvious: the diesel must be cleaned.
We offer a sampling and analysis service as well as sampling sets to take your own samples. These can also be sent to us for analysis, or can be tested for microorganisms with Liqui-Cult.
REMOVING CONTAMINATION
If contamination of the diesel with water, sediment and/or microorganisms is discovered, it is important to remove the contamination from the tank(s) and to bring the fuel back into optimal condition.
To this end we offer a tank and fuel cleaning service as well as the equipment to recondition the fuel yourself. If we clean the tank and fuel, before and after samples are taken to demonstrate the effect of service provided.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
After the contamination has been removed, it is usually best to ensure that it cannot reoccur. With modern diesel, however, the chance of this is relatively high. There are a number of preventative measures, products and systems available for this. The choice for one of these is different for each situation, client and available budget.
We offer sampling services, complete fuel maintenance contracts and installation of preventative products and systems according to the KIWA BRL-K903-08 norm.
There are a number of options for the tanks as well as the engines/burners:
IN-LINE QUALITY MEASUREMENT
If so desired, the quality of the fuel with regard to water and sediment levels can be measured in-line in order to control the quality or to adjust the filtration system.
Njord provides:
As every tank creates its own biosphere, where fuel deterioration will occur if the correct measures are not taken, the installation of a new tank creates the opportunity to select a self-cleaning tank right away. Njord offers such tanks equipped with an Absolute Filtration System.Such tanks can be equipped with a control system also managing fuel supply and tank sensors as contents measurement, vacuum leak detection systems, as well as additive dosing systems are available upon request.
Key features:
- high quality fuel tank on 1% angle
- integrated automated filtration system
- water, sediment and micro-organism removed automatically
- keeps water below 50-70 ppm
- keeps fuel partivle count as required for common rail engines (better than 18-16-13)
- remote monitoring ready
- optional leak detection on return pipe and/or tank, tank contents management, additive dosing system
Njord mobile Tank Cleaning Systems are recommended for cleaning (bio)diesel fuel tanks as well as the fuel in various applications WITHOUT tank entry. Both above ground and underground tanks can be cleaned using our systems. Depending on the tank size a different flow rate is recommended. When cleaning the tank and fuel we recommend to use our Fuel Additive Diesel UltraClean to clean the tank walls, dissolve tank sludge and stabilize the fuel.Key Features:
- Heavy Duty prefilter or coalescer to separate water and heavy sediments
- Compact design and low weight
- Absolute filtration in final filter
- Two step water separation
- Fuel Conditioner to stop micro-organism growth and stabilize fuel
- Fuel Quality required for Common Rail engines
- Including suction and return hoses
- Prefilter optional
- Filtration Controller optional
- Flow meter optional
Each fuel tank is its own biosphere. Diesel fuel is naturally unstable and forms sediments over time. As water enters the tank with the consumption of fuel, micro-organism contamination is always a threat. The drastic reduction of sulfur and addition of bio-components to diesel fuel in recent years have further reduced shelf life and increased fuel related headaches. To make sure your engines or burners run reliably and efficiently on (bio)diesel, it is strongly recommended to recirculate each fuel tank a few times per year.
To bring and keep the fuel in spec and meet the engine manufacturers’ fuel cleanliness requirements, it is essential to keep water below 70 ppm and reach at least an 18-16-13 ISO 4406:1999 particle size distribution. Multi-pass filtration with a water absorber and absolute filter elements with a high Beta ratio for filtration below 5 micron are required. This is realized using the Njord Mobile Tank Cleaning Systems running in a parallel recirculation loop to the fuel tank.
Njord automatic Fuel Filtration Systems are recommended for use in Continuous Power, Emergency Power and Home Based Tank setups at for instance mining sites, transportation and other industrial companies.

To be able to provide a solution for smaller yachts and other diesel users that do require clean fuel, but are on a tighter budget, Njord designed so called Convertible Polishing Systems that can first be used to clean the fuel tank, and then be installed as a fixed Fuel Polishing System with manual control. It comes with just an on-off switch, but with the connections for sensors and controller to be installed later.
Automation can be added by the customer right away, or after some time. These systems are available in DC and AC versions, and consist of a leak tray, pump, Fuel Conditioner and single filter. The option exists to get a primary filter to aid in tank cleaning for rather dirty tanks.
