ALGAE-X introduces portable fuel tank cleaning system
Technology news Filtration+Separation September/October 2012
ALGAE-X introduces portable fuel Chinese desalination capacity tank cleaning system continues to rise boats and other diesel-powered engines.
The TK 240-XT Portable Fuel Tank Cleaning and Fuel Transfer System.
ALGAE-X International (AXI) has released the TK 240-XT Portable Fuel Tank Cleaning and Fuel Transfer System. The company says that the TK 240-XT is the ideal solution to remove sludge and water from smaller diesel tanks while optimising fuel quality at the same time. With a compact footprint, the TK 240 is lightweight, easy to handle, and convenient for owners of trucks, RVs, generators, farm equipment,
“The TK 240-XT uses AXI’s ALGAE-X 500 Fuel Conditioner to optimise fuel quality for peak engine performance, greater reliability and less pollution. The pump on this new system has a flow rate that is 33% faster than its predecessor, the TK 180-XT. Tanks can be cleaned and fuel optimised more quickly than ever before,” said Wout Lisseveld, AXI’s chief executive officer. AXI designed the TK 240-XT System around a self-priming 240 GPH nickel-plated brass gear pump using quality filtration components connected by corrosion-resistant stainless steel plumbing. To ensure optimal filter service life, a pressure gauge is installed on the filter housing. Available filter elements include stainless steel screens, particulate and water block elements. www.algae-x.net
Research and Markets Ltd has released the China Seawater Desalination Industry Report (2012 Edition). As of the end of 2011, China’s seawater desalination capacity reached 660 kilotons per day, and will hit 2.2-2.6 million tons per day in 2015. In recent years, global collaboration in the water treatment engineering field has expanded the Chinese seawater desalination market. This has included Veolia Water, which entered the Chinese water treatment market early in 1997 and now has over 15 projects in China, mainly in Tianjin, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong and Shaanxi. ProMinent started in the Chinese seawater desalination market in 2001, and has now six completed seawater desalination projects. Israel Desalination Enterprises (IDE) Technologies entered the Chinese market in 2007 and
has constructed one plant in Tianjin. Hyflux arrived in 2009 and has now set up the Tianjin Dagang Seawater Desalination Plant. Aqualyng began the construction of a plant in 2010 and now has the desalination project in Tangshan, Hebei. The report adds that Chinese seawater desalination engineering companies have had less impact, although China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, ZhongHe Seawater Desalination Engineering Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Kaidi Water Service Co., Ltd are making some progress. In terms of seawater desalination equipment, China relies mainly on international suppliers. Reverse osmosis membrane technology has seen its market share rise from 3% in 2005 to around 15% in 2010. www.researchandmarkets.com
