This patent is aimed at any sector with hydrocarbon deposits, as they suffer from degradation and contamination, which can cause serious problems when used in ships, trains, trucks, stand-by generators, etc.

Fuels stored for long periods of time can suffer from polymerisation, oxidation, emulsions, bacterial and fungal contamination. These problems can form residues and gums. The ageing of these fuel residues and gums can cause serious problems in engines and fuel systems.

Sectors:
- Marine industry: Yachts, ferries and cargo ships. Ship tanks have medium-sized problems with water accumulation on the surface of ships.

- Service Stations (SDS). The tanks are buried in the ground and moisture can easily accumulate there.

- Fuel storage, transportation and distribution companies. Microbes are present in fuel and crude oil storage tanks causing severe and costly bio-deterioration damage to inventories and infrastructure.
