OUR SERVICES

As a turnkey fuel service provider, Relevant Fuel Solutions offers a complete program of testing, maintenance, and documentation required to keep your systems up and running. Our pennies-per-gallon services can make the difference between success and failure for your organization. Our program involves a five-step process that has been proven to maximize the returns on your fuel system investment.

• For every customer, the first step in our process involves sampling and testing your fuel supply. This allows us to tailor a custom solution that addresses whatever specific challenges you may face. Further, sampling and testing allows us to establish a benchmark against which we, and you, can measure our success.  Our testing service includes fuel sampling and field analysis. Unlike our competition, we can test your fuel on-site and provide you with the information you need on the spot. Once we’ve completed this first step, we can move forward with a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
• Our fuel cleaning services begin with your tank. Filling a dirty tank with clean fuel may make sense to our competitors, but it doesn’t make sense to us. At Relevant Fuel Solutions, we make sure your entire fuel supply chain – including your storage tank – is contributing to your success.  We begin the cleaning process by removing accumulated waste byproducts that have collected at the bottom of your storage tank, ensuring that once the fuel is cleaned it stays that way as long as possible.
• Once the storage tank is free of accumulated waste, we will begin running the diesel through a purification system matched to your needs. Our process of advanced filtration removes additional particulate contamination and moisture accumulation that naturally occur over time. Upon completion, the diesel in your tank will be polished and ready to meet Tier 4 emissions standards.  Note that this part of our turnkey service is available to you on an ongoing basis, should your needs require it. Our component filters and engineered filter systems are available for purchase or lease. We even offer fuel system instrumentation and monitoring components for dirt particle and moisture control.
• Moving forward with a clean tank and polished fuel, we treat the diesel in your tank with proprietary additive blends designed to maximize the amount of time you can expect your diesel stores to comply with industry standards. Relevant Fuel Solutions’ Blue42® additive is our flagship product, and we take great pride in every application. Ongoing engineered systems are also available for aboveground, underground, and sub-base tank installations. See our full line of DDS cleaning systems for more information about keeping your diesel fit for purpose.
• For customers who have committed significant capital toward owning and operating the latest generation of power equipment, it makes sense to read the fine print on warranty protections and follow up with documented validation of fuel quality. Relevant Fuel Solutions meets this need through routine follow-up testing and the provision of forensic data that documents your organization’s compliance with warranty requirements for Tier 4 diesel equipment.  The ongoing monitoring and maintenance of your fuel stores is where Relevant Fuel Solutions stands alone. Our service defines proactivity for organizations that cannot afford down time, and stands in stark contrast to the offerings of our competitors who merely react to problems after the fact. Relevant Fuel Solutions doesn’t just fix your fuel problems…we help you avoid them altogether.

RFS DIESEL DIALYSIS SYSTEMS

• Fully automated tank and fuel quality management system with real time fuel condition monitoring and treatment metering. Addresses both organic and inorganic contamination to ensure fuel meets ASTM D975 and ISO 4406 cleanliness standards.
• When one is sizing the right Tank and Fuel Quality Management Solution for their application it is necessary to base the sizing on facts and not a guessing game. Otherwise you compromise the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of your investment to accomplish clean tanks and fuel that are safe and stabile for today’s sophisticated engines powering our transportation and innovative equipment.

RFS Diesel Dialysis Systems, (RFS DDS) are designed to monitor and maintain a pristine state of middle distillate fuel in conventional bulk fuel storage tanks. RFS DDS systems ensure a fuel quality to provide reliable start and operation of critical service power equipment in businesses such as data centers, food processing, food freezers, mass transportation, university research centers, and hospitals. RFS DDS systems can be designed for local and remote real time monitoring of equipment.

RFS DDS Systems are fully automated with PLC Technology and programmed with RFS logic for ease of use and maintenance on an easy to use graphic touch screen display, which is packaged into a NEMA 4X and UL 508 rated enclosure control box. Explosion proof enclosure designs are available for controlled areas.

The system monitors fuel contamination levels at specific points of corrective action to ensure fuel cleanliness and quality. The contamination level is monitored and when reaching a saturation point will alert the user of its maintenance needs on the easy to read touch screen graphic display. The alarms can be interfaced with central plant monitoring for customer convenience. Maintenance can be scheduled with a service provider or in-house maintenance personnel allowing the system to be brought back on line.

RFS DDS Systems are stand-alone, closed-loop systems with built-in real time fuel quality diagnostics and telemetry providing undisturbed flow of fuel to the equipment. The fuel quality diagnostics are based and bench marked on ASTM and ISO Standards and Specifications. This meets with operational and environmental issues for a safe operation.
