Pipelines move fuel and fuel moves the country. With over 80,000 miles of pipeline moving product throughout the country there are bound to be issues somewhere. Independent field tests in the United States and abroad have proven that pipelines can be one of the major causes of microbial contamination to downstream storage tanks and fuel systems.
Even if good housekeeping practices are strictly enforced; dirt, debris and water, can gather in the distribution system. Water is the number one contaminant and the primary cause for microbial problems and other issues. The number one weapon in your arsenal is
Kathon® FP 1.5 a fast acting broad spectrum biocide. It entrenches itself in your fuel system when it comes in contact with water by rapidly dissolving into the water phase, killing the microorganisms, and protecting your entire fuel system. Treat your system periodically with
Kathon® FP 1.5 biocide to terminate any microbial strong holds. To determine if you have microbial contamination you can use one of our field microbial test kits or an independent laboratory. These test kits are easy to use and require prior lab experience.
