BULK FUEL
Protection and value enhancement for bulk fuel storage
Additive Injection for BULK FUEL
Bulk fuel storage is vulnerable to microbial growth, degradation, and additive inconsistency. Hammonds Additive Injection Systems protect stored fuel by injecting additives directly into the supply as fuel is transferred or dispensed.
This approach preserves fuel quality, extends storage life, and increases the overall market value of bulk fuel inventories.

Protecting Fuel Quality in Bulk Storage
Bulk fuel storage presents unique challenges related to long dwell times, environmental exposure, and inconsistent turnover. Fuel degradation, microbial growth, and additive depletion can all occur when stored fuel is not properly treated, reducing both performance and market value.
Hammonds Additive Injection Systems protect bulk stored fuel by injecting additives directly into the fuel stream during transfer or dispensing. This ensures that fuel is treated precisely when it moves, maintaining quality without relying on pre-treated or blended inventories.
The Role of Additive Injection in Bulk Fuel Management
Fuel additives are commonly used in bulk storage environments to control microbial contamination, improve fuel stability, enhance lubricity, and protect against corrosion. Improper dosing or inconsistent blending can leave portions of stored fuel untreated or over-treated.
Additive injection ensures uniform treatment across the fuel supply by delivering on-spec additive ratios as fuel flows through the system. This approach improves consistency while reducing additive waste and handling complexity.
Flow-Powered Injection for Storage and Transfer Operations
Hammonds bulk fuel injectors are fully mechanical and flow-powered, allowing them to operate without electricity or external power sources. This design is especially valuable at terminals, depots, and remote storage locations where power infrastructure may be limited.
By using fuel flow to drive injection, Hammonds systems maintain accurate additive ratios across a wide range of transfer rates, from slow tank transfers to high-volume dispensing operations.
Reducing Fuel Degradation and Microbial Growth
Microbial contamination is a leading cause of fuel degradation in bulk storage environments. Unchecked growth can result in filter plugging, corrosion, fuel instability, and costly cleanup efforts.
Consistent additive injection helps control microbial growth while preserving fuel stability, extending storage life and protecting downstream equipment that relies on clean fuel.
Increasing the Value and Reliability of Stored Fuel
Properly treated bulk fuel maintains higher quality standards and greater market value over time. Additive injection allows operators to treat fuel as needed, adapting to storage duration, fuel turnover, and operational requirements.
Hammonds Additive Injection Systems help bulk fuel operators reduce losses, protect assets, and ensure that stored fuel remains clean, stable, and ready for use whenever it is needed.
