These compact fuel maintenance systems are specifically designed for permanent installations indoors or with limited space, such as inside genset enclosures or engine room applications. The efficiency and compact design of the FPS line is second to none in the industry, setting the standard for fuel maintenance system design and operation. FPS systems have flow rates that range from 80 to 600 gallons per hour - making them the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications. FPS systems reverse fuel deterioration while decontaminating, cleaning, and optimizing the fuel. FPS systems are ideal for the marine, mission critical, mining, power generation, government, and military industries. Copyright 2017 AXI International - All Rights Reserved 29
FPS SERIES Automated Fuel Maintenance Systems The FPS Series SMART Fuel Polishing Systems are programmable, fully automated fuel optimization systems that remove water, sludge, and contaminants. FPS systems condition and stabilize fuel, keeping it dry and free from microbial contamination. Key features of the FPS systems include: performance monitoring and alarm functions when filter elements require service, high pump vacuum or pressure exists, and when water is detected in the separator. FPS systems are mounted on a powder coated aluminum backplate.

MULTI-POINT FLOWPATH Intelligent Actuated Valve Fuel Flow Control System The Multi-Point Flow Path Package provides a means of ensuring optimal fuel quality for restrictive tanks containing multiple internal obstructions. Structural baffles and internal configurations can present issues for fuel path travel, leaving areas susceptible to water, sediment, and bioaccumulation. The addition of multiple suction and discharge points within the tank creates new flow paths that can push out sludge, particulate, and other forms of contamination from hard to reach sections of the tank. This process, unique to AXI International, is the most effective way to ensure optimal fuel quality for fuel tanks constructed with baffles. The Multi-point Flow Path package works through random valve actuation on both the supply and return plumbing. Depending on the tank configuration, the Multi-point solenoid valves can be installed throughout the tank, providing multiple, varying flow paths. Multipoint systems can control up to seven sets of solenoid valves per tank (14 total). The number of valves will determine the number of possible flow paths. 5 4 3 2 6 1 1. Suction Header 2.

FPS Series System Integration Configuration FPS systems are installed in a fuel dialysis configuration, parallel to the fuel tank. These systems combine programmable, fully automated fuel polishing with compact Plug & Play design within a small footprint. The FPS series can connect to a wide variety of storage and day tanks. In marine applications, FPS systems optimize and condition all fuel taken on board, transfer fuel between tanks, and can fill the day tanks in certain applications. When ships are dry docked or winterized for long-term or off-season storage, the FPS systems will automatically preserve the quality of the fuel on board. FPS systems are compact, lightweight and easy to install. FPS systems should be permanently mounted on a hard, level surface, and should be located as close to the tank as possible. Mounting holes are provided for proper fastening. FPS systems are designed for well-ventilated indoor use within specified temperature range. Sufficient space above the unit is needed to change the filter element comfortably. The SMART Filtration Controller is modular, and can be mounted away from the system to accommodate the available space within an engine room. The compact design of the FPS system simplifies installation inside standard emergency/standby generator enclosures. AXI works with and supports architects, engineers, and facility managers with custom engineering for fuel system design and layout. Below is an example of how a Fuel Maintenance System should be integrated into your facility or equipment. FPS Series Installation Inside Genset Enclosure 34 AUTOMATED FUEL FILTRATION SYSTEMS
SECURING FUEL QUALITY Emergency and standby power are the unsung heroes of Mission Critical facilities. At a moments notice, these systems need to engage, and stay running, for an unspecified amount of time. If overlooked or unmaintained, a backup power system can easily become the achilles heel of a facility. Although weekly scheduled burns (an industry term that means running the engine for a short duration) are common, backup generators run for a short amount of time, typically under light load. In an emergency situation, the generator is subject to a heavier load. As the engine demands much more fuel than the weekly burns, the stored fuel is stirred up, causing the settled debris, and other forms of contamination, to quickly become suspended within the fuel. This can clog fuel filters - rendering the generator useless. The integration of an Intelligent Fuel Management Solution ensures the fuel delivered to equipment at mission critical facilities does not fail the system. By regularly maintaining fuel quality, the potential for failure during a power outage is drastically reduced. Copyright 2017 AXI International - All Rights Reserved 35
