Circle 191 on Reader Service Card ALGAE-X Upgrade Gets Positive Lab Results After receiving a sample of fuel from the Naval Surface Warfare Center filled with black agglomerations, and bacteri- al and fungal growth, ALGAE-X was assigned the task of testing its upgraded and reengineered system. Before run- ning the sample through their fuel con- ditioning system, a part of the initial sample was sent to Analyst Inc. for a fuel analysis. The remaining fuel was then pumped through the companies MMI 1245-4 Diesel Fuel Polishing Sys- tem and the upgraded ALGAE-X Unit. The first sample contained heavy fungal and slight bacterial growth, and a combina- tion of contaminants. The second sample underwent two hours of circulation in the ALGAE's total filtration solution and showed negative bacterial and fungal growth, with no sign of microiganisms and restoration in the fuel's color.
