Maintaining clean fuel at Canary Wharf

  • Sector: Power Generation
  • Location: London

WASP’s fuel team were called by a facilities management company at Canary Wharf to sample the diesel in their two 70,000 litre bulk tanks.

Challenges faced

Analysis showed that the fuel was heavily contaminated with water, colloid carbon, ashphaltine deposits and gums, resins and varnish crystals. Such was the level of particulate, it was not possible to assign an ISO cleanliness code because the samples were out of range.

Solutions delivered

WASP and Optimum Power Services (OPS) proposed replacing the legacy fuel polishing system with Diesel Defence DD90. The DD90 will reliably maintain the fuel, be autonomous in operation and could be effective on diesel that included up to 20% biodiesel.Alongside the DD90, WASP and OPS also installed vent TRAP filters to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the tank through open air vents.

International bank, Central London.

One of our regular customers, a national generator supplier, put forward a project on behalf of their client, a well known international bank located in Central London. The client, who already purchased generators from the supplier, knew their facility would fail without power. They stressed they could not afford poor quality fuel or a back-up generator failure, and especially wanted to reduce the cost of removing, disposing and replacing contaminated fuel. Therefore the client asked the generator supplier to install a system designed to maintain optimum fuel quality with each of their generators.
