Specific properties of the Micro-Separator:

- No rotating or otherwise moving parts.
- Once mounted, the Micro Separator will last an (engine) life time.
- No insert filters which need to be renewed.
- Filters out particles to a size of 10μm.
- Tests show that up to 99,9997% of the water is separated from the fuel.
- Filters out even sand and corroded particles thus protecting the engine.
- The fuel tank will continuously get flushed with clean fuel, which improves the condition of all of the fuel in the tank.
The required maintenance is limited to periodical draining off the sludge and water from the bottom part of the Micro-Separator.
Experience from users in the field has shown that this only needs to be done with each service-interval.
The system in this shape has proven its reliability in the USA for well over a decade now. Among others the US Coast Guard
and military vehicles use the separator with remarkably good results.

How does the Micro-Separator work?

The Micro-Separator makes use of a cleaning process based on two well-known principles: centrifugal force and coalescence;
first the incoming fuel is forced into a rotary motion through conductor plates to the bottom compartment. In this first cleaning phase the speed of the fluid is brought back to a minimum and water drops and other parts which are heavier than the diesel fuel are separated from the fuel, without causing an emulsion. The separated pollution and the water are collected at the bottom of the separator until these are drained. In the secondary phase, the fuel runs through three ceramic elements, the “coalescor”. Eventual remainders of pollution and the water drops ‘unite’ in this phase and are fed back to the bottom of the Separator.
The fuel which is now clean and pure again will ignite better and improves the efficiency and reliability of the engine. The Micro-Separator must be mounted between the fuel tank and the fuel filter and is therefore the first line of defence for the fuel system.
Symptoms which will tell you, that mounting a Micro-Separator is a must to protect your installation:
Diesel fuel spreading a sulphuric smell (smell of rotten eggs), fuel is dark coloured, ‘muddy’ and slimy, the engine is not responding immediately, corrosion in fuel tank and other components and/or fuel filters and fuel system is clogged.
