CORROSION CONTROL™ SYSTEM
Even the smallest amount of water in a fuel system can lead to corrosion. More and
more marketers are reporting that accelerated corrosion inside tanks and on fuel system
equipment has become increasingly responsible for:
•
Longer and more frequent maintenance calls
•
Pervasive dispenser filter changes
•
Unserviceable or damaged equipment
•
Overall maintenance cost increases
WHAT’S CAUSING THIS CORROSION?
The introduction of cleaner-burning Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and the increased
use of biodiesel in diesel fuels has created an atmosphere for greater microbial activity
in tanks. When water enters that atmosphere through a fuel drop, from ground/surface
intrusion, or as increased moisture levels in containment sumps, you have an environment
that is ripe for accelerated corrosion. Numerous studies have indicated that even a small
amount of water at the bottom of a tank can ultimately lead to corrosion and debris
throughout the fuel system.

Recently, marketers have begun taking a proactive approach to mitigating corrosion by
eliminating its causes, like water and moisture, from their fuel systems with the Corrosion
Control™ System. The fully integrated system provides in-tank and in-sump corrosion
prevention by proactively removing water from tanks with the Corrosion Control™ Water
Separator. The Corrosion Control™ System is driven by the EVO™ 600/6000 Automatic
Tank Gauge (ATG) which automates the system, monitors for the presence of corrosive
environments, and helps to alleviate maintenance costs.
AUTOMATE OPERATIONS
KEEP SUMPS DRY
The Corrosion Control™ Water Separator is
paired with an EVO™ 600/6000 Automatic Tank
Gauge (ATG) to completely automate operation.
From controlling the Water Separator’s scheduled
run time and monitoring water level to monitoring
for a corrosive environment via the Corrosion
Detection Sensor, the ATG handles it all.
The Desiccant Pack acts to absorb
humidity within the containment sump before it turns
into corrosion-causing condensation. The Desiccant
Pack Sensor communicates via the EVO™ Series ATG
when the Desiccant Pack(s) need to be changed to
maintain optimal low-humidity.
PREVENT CORROSION
MONITOR FOR CORROSION
The Corrosion Control™ Water Separator provides
proactive in-tank corrosion control by removing diesel tank
bottom corrosion contributors including water and acid.
The Corrosion Detection Sensor detects and
alerts station owners to the presence of a corrosive
atmosphere in tank ullage spaces.
