Micro-organisms in fuel storage tanks (II)

The microorganisms most commonly found in fuels are bacteria, moulds and yeasts. Pseudomonas are most frequently isolated from contaminated environments; they are known to grow on a wide range of petroleum hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene and toluene (gasoline, paraffin and diesel). Most hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are gram-negative; lipopolysaccharides in their membranes help form and stabilize hydrocarbon emulsions in aqueous systems and increase the surface area attacking the contaminant. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), both aerobic and facultative anaerobes, are also found.

FDR System is a machine that has the capacity to clean, refine and disinfect fuel contained in hydrocarbon tanks (ships, vehicles, petrol stations, fuel tanks of distributors, etc.).

The present invention covers the need for an easy, definitive, economical and efficient solution to this problem, as the solutions currently available on the market do not meet any of these characteristics.

This patent is now on sale.
