icountACM20

State-of-the-art Fuel Contamination Monitoring

The icountACM20 Portable Particle Counter has been developed from existing technology for monitoring contamination in AVTur and other hydrocarbon fuels, in accordance with Energy Institute (EI) Method IP 564.

In addition, the ACM can also be used to monitor fuels from existing sampling points in locations from refineries, pipelines, distribution terminals, fuel supply storage.

APPLICATIONS

- Fuel Testing Laboratories - DEFSTAN 91-91 Issue 6
- Distribution Terminals/Hubs: use on receipt and outbound supply. Also provide checks for filtration performance, tank cleanliness and product quality
- Storage: reduce settling time by monitoring to determine if dispersed contamination are below acceptable levels
- Airport Fuel Farm: monitoring of fuels into storage, through fuel farm, hydrant system and during uplift into wing
- Oil and Gas Platforms: monitor filtration performance, system cleanliness and quality of delivered product
