Busan® DFP Case History

  • Problem: Microbiological fouling caused a blocked fuel filter, resulting in system shutdown.
  • Solutions: No fuel treatments were in use. Buckman recommended Busan DFP to control the fungal and bacterial outbreak, and DMAD to improve the cleanliness of the storage tank environment. Busan DFP is a solvent-based microbicide with a proven history of controlling fungi and bacteria in fuels. DMAD is a solvent-based fuel additive with a proven history of improving storage tank clean liness.
    The customer fed Busan DFP at a rate of 2.5 fluid ounces per 100 gallons (approx. 200 ppm) to their B20 storage tank. The customer repeated this shock dose when refilling the tank; subsequent doses were at the maintenance dose of 1.25 fluid ounces per 100 gallons (approx. 100 ppm). The customer added DMAD at a maintenance dose of 100 ppm.
  • Results: Since initiating the treatment program, the customer has not experienced any shutdowns or reduction in flow through the filters. Regular use of Busan DFP and DMAD continues.
