We'll get things started.
To open up, I'm Aaron Keck, the Application Engineer for Fuel Filtration products here
at Schroeder Industries.
Today, we're going to be talking about the BDFP, or the Bulk Diesel Filter System, in
a plate mounted configuration.
To introduce the BDFP, we're going to be reviewing a few key points.
Why even condition stored fuel, how the BDFP is a product designed to address those questions.
Some applications that would be appropriate for the BDFP, the target customers, the target
applications, people to speak to and finally wrapping up with a value proposition on the
BDFP and how you can find out more.
So, starting off with Why Condition Stored Fuel?
In most cases, end users will see a fuel sample that most often looks like this.
Very clear, very bright.
Visually, an appealing sample.
My fuel looks clean.
Now, unfortunately, the situation is usually not visibly seen.
The eye can see from about 40 micron in the best situation, down to that point where we
are measuring contamination with particle counters in the realm of 4, 6 and 14 micron
channels.
Now that being said, the contamination that we're measuring has some of the greatest affect
on high pressure common rail fuel systems used in today's Diesel Engines.
And, this is well below what we can see as well as what is usually well below a common
place, 30 micron, nominal filtration used in the industry today.
So you have to be conscientious of what we can visibly evaluate upon what we also have
in the industry for filtration solutions.
So first, we simply need to qualify the fuel.
During our last fuels product release webcast, we spoke about the FCU 1315.
It is a dedicated, field-ready particle counter that can be used to evaluate and measure fuel
in the field, to provide you with kind of a baseline measurement for how clean and the
water content of that fuel.
So then we need to establish a fuel quality spec.
But how do we do that?
And furthermore, how do we evaluate that current quality of our fuel compared to that spec?
Well, a table shown here provides a good list of OEM recommendations for particulate and
water content in fuels.
So we took this data, this information that is commonly used in the industry and we really
didn't depart from it.
We really echoed what we're looking at for stored fuel condition and what would be needed
in the equipment, the vehicle, the mobile equipment, the stationary power generation
fuel used at the day tank, the belly tank.
That is really what we're looking at today with the BDFP product.
So we're looking at an 18/16/13 for most stored fuel conditions.
Then, as we move closer to the application, the storage on vehicle or the day tank or
belly tank storage for most power generation, we're looking at a target 15/13/10 ISO code.
Now for water content, we're really pushing for the Worldwide Fuel Charter Standard of
below 200 parts per million water content.
To give you an idea, you're going to see a safe value if that percent saturation on the
TWS or the FCU 1315's water content reading of below 100 percent.
Now mind you, that's generally well below 200 parts per million.
That will give you and idea of how you can evaluate that with our current product.
Second, once we've evaluated the fuel, compared our current evaluation of the fuel with where
we need to be, then we need to find a solution.
And so, it's a matter of really sizing a system appropriate to the volume you have.
Not only looking at the pump motor group, but we have to consider the filtration, the
quality of filtration, making sure that we're not using a micron rating that is an excess
of what we need to achieve to spec, 4, 6 and 14 micron.
And also, reviewing some of the available features of a fuel kidney looping system to
make sure that they satisfy the customer's requirements, the end user's requirements
and really fit the application well.
So this is where the BDFP comes in.
It's one product that we have to offer that is a high efficiency fuel filtration system.
It's simply that.
It uses our common BDF filtration, which uses that same high efficiency particulate and
coalescing filtration that you all are very familiar with.
But it provides a turn-key solution that is stationary mounted on a fixed plate that offers
several pump choices, whether it's electrical or air over double diaphragm pump.
So to take a closer look, you've got a robust mounting plate that has a bent plate design
so it allows all the fasteners that pass through which mount our equipment to the plate to
not interfere with the mounting surface, so you can flush mount this either into a box,
you can mount this into a panel or you can mount it exposed, depending upon where the
application requires to a simple uninstructed frame.
It used the KL3 in an 18" pre-filter.
That can be spec'd with a 3 or a 1 micron filter element to get down to where the particulate
spec needs to be.
Along with the ICF, which is downstream of that pre-filter.
It's an 18" coalescing filter that provides up to 16 gallon per minute filtration at extremely
high efficiencies for water removal.
We include the sump sight glass as a part of the ICF as kind of a base model, but we
have optional features like the upstream Y-Strainer to protect the pump assembly, as well as two
motor options that will be immediately available as an electric pump motor group at 14 gallons
per minute, very familiar with what you'd see on say the BDFC product.
So it's 120 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz solution on a 1 and 1/2 horsepower motor.
We also are introducing a 16 gallons per minute air-operated double diaphragm pump that really
provides a little more flexibility and option for what's most commonly used in the field
where electricity is not always available.
So for the distributor, some of the key benefits of this product and introducing this product
is to provide a turn-key solution.
What this provides our distribution network is really an easily integrated package.
So what that means is you can take this simple pump motor and filtration solution and incorporate
it into a larger package of products.
Whether it incorporate your own capabilities to provide a value add to the end-user, you
can incorporate more dedicated or specific controls, more complex systems and features,
depending on what you as a distributor and your customer are seeking as a finished product.
Also, it does offer a low cost, entry level package.
Many times, you see customers who are seeking a solution, but they're seeking a more basic,
low-cost solution just to simply offer an on/off switch that would allow kidney looping
filtration, on-demand, as they see fit.
Whereas, many of the solutions available on the market today are far more complex and
the pricing reflects that.
Beyond that, it does compliment our other filtration products and contamination sensing
products.
So you don't want to forget the fact that we need to evaluate the fuel's condition up
front, check the performance of the system and then further evaluate the fuel or maintain
regular intervals of fuel quality inspections.
And so, if we pair this with an FCU 1315, we can evaluate the fuel condition and system
performance and for more complex systems, contamination sensors like the TCM can be
integrated to incorporate switching capabilities to provide some more feedback to make a more
complex system.
A BDFP is really as simple as mounting the plate, installing the Inlet and Outlet connections,
and installing either the power supply for the electrical or supplying air, which would
meet the pump's requirements.
So really, it's a 3 step process in setting this unit up and installing it into an application.
Now, for the end-user benefits, we also want to highlight the fact that this isn't just
a simple pump motor group filter, it still uses the same high capacity, high efficiency
filtration that you're all familiar with using the Z3 or Z1 micron filtration media for pre-filter,
as well as that same high efficiency coalescing filtration downstream.
And, we can take this basic system and integrate it additional features like we would find
available for the BDF.
So, for more complex systems where automation is important or of interest to the end-user,
we can integrate an automatic water drain feature, water in fuel indicator lights or
more complex integration, like incorporating a HY-TRAX® to monitor, as well as control
the On and Off function of the pump motor group.
So, for BDFP applications, where we really see the bulk of the applications is in the
Power Generation market.
Either with Data Centers, Hospitals, or other Power Generation Applications that would require
maintained fuel quality at the storage level.
Beyond that, we can see applications in Mining, Oil & Gas, even Marine and Mobile Machinery
and if we move inside to stored fuels in the MRO applications, we see Fleet or Plant Maintenance
as well as Operation.
One of the successes where we've had the BDFP put in place and specified in an application
was in the Oil & Gas market for one of the large Oil & Gas Exploration Companies.
They had a problem with on-site fuel quality being uncertain.
They had a specific piece of equipment that was running into issues with the uncertainty
and often substandard fuel qualities.
The problem is that with such wide-spread operations, either nationally or globally,
there's no control of a fuel supply in the quality of the fuel that's being used on-site
or very limited control.
Also, there is issues with the operator possibly not following clean fuel transfer procedures,
bypassing filtration, just simply using unapproved containers.
So there was concern of operator error introducing some contamination as well.
And for this type of application, up time is extremely critical, so there is interest
in putting some investment in a solution that would solve their problem.
Ultimately, we came up with the BDFP.
So again, the plate-mounted Bulk Diesel Filter System.
It was able to cost-effectively provide them with a basic turn-key solution, which they
would then integrate and vow for use as a fuel transfer, as well as a kidney looping
filtration system.
So, what this did was any fuel that was transferred into the storage tank, on that piece of diesel
powered equipment, had to pass through this pump motor group and filtration, so it ensured
that any uploaded fuel into the equipment was clean and then through simple valving,
it can be switched then to a kidney looping system to maintain the fuel at a certain ISO
Code, cleanliness and water content.
So it eliminated that operator bypass concern, it ensured clean fuel during delivery and
operation and it's a very simple solution that was really a great interest to the customer
because it was easy to integrate and engineer into their complete system and package.
So who can ultimately use the BDFP?
The target contacts at these customers really fuel polishing system OEMs would be greatly
interested in something as a turn-key filtration package with a pump motor group that they
can then do their value-add and include control systems, panels, packaging, that ensure they
still maintain their brand, but they're getting high efficiency, high quality filtration that
they couldn't get with their current filtration solutions providers.
Tank Fabricators and Installers are starting to look towards more complex systems, they're
showing interest in moving towards integrating filtration systems into what would be considered
more field-use tanks.
And so, this is a potential outlet for these solutions.
Fleet Service, Maintenance Managers, Operations Managers, anyone who is really dealing with
the responsibility of maintaining clean fuel would have invested interest in investing
in a low-cost, basic filtration solution to help them maintain this while it's integrated
in onto their product or their system.
So how do we justify this product to the customer, to the end-user?
This is an example we used as well for the FCU 1315 particle counter, but it rings true
to even this solution.
In our publication article we wrote in the FluidPower Journal publication, there was
an example where we showed that one failure for a basic 5 liter engine could total $5,000
to repair.
Now, mind you, that excludes cost of downtime, loss of production, any penalties or fees
that would also be a result of that equipment downtime.
For larger engine platforms, this cost increases, either doubles, triples dramatically increases
with the size of the engine.
And so several filtration solutions can be justified in as few as 1 prevented failure.
Just based upon the cost of the parts and labor.
So, if we factor in the downtime cost, the lost production, the penalties, the lost revenue,
we can really stack up a good argument to show that putting in place a simple, basic
BDFP solution can easily be justified in as little as one prevented failure.
So how do we find out more about the BDFP?
Product information will be launched and available on our website.
This would include the update to the website itself, you're going to find this under the
Fuel Filtration product section, under Diesel Fuel Coalescing.
You'll find it under the Bulk Diesel Filtration section, right next to the BDFC and BDC products.
In the Fuel Filtration Catalog that you'll find a PDF version online, this will also
be updated to include a list of the model code, how to build it as well as the specifications
of the product to get specific details of what we have readily available from the catalog.
With this, please feel free to reach out to your inside support and either Rob or myself
for any further information.
With that, I appreciate your time and spending your afternoon here, your morning here tuning
in and listening about our new BDFP.
Thank you for your time and have a great weekend everyone.
