How can the ALGAESEPs small processing rate treat a larger fuel storgage tank with 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 gallons?
Most problems occur in the bottom five to 10 percent of the tank capacity when storing fuel. Thats where water and algae can be found. The ALGAESEP focuses on processing the problem areas of the fuel, so even with a 5,000 gallon tank, the system will remove the water, contaminants, etc. by processing 500 gallons from the very bottom. 500 gallons can be treated in only 10-12 hours of operation. In the case of a tank in motion, like a boat, the system will still process, although it may take longer if the tank is agitated.
