Case Study
A Southwest Henan Petrochemical Storage and Transport Enterprise is an important regional finished fuel distribution hub, with a relatively large daily dispatch volume, serving numerous logistics fleets and industrial and mining enterprises.
Stage 1 · Customer Problem
Ultra-High-Flow Storage & Transport Challenges
As a high-frequency turnover storage and transport center, the enterprise faces the dual challenges of "speed and quality." Multiple loading arms operate in parallel, demanding both extreme flow rates and consistent cleanliness.
📦
Large-Scale Turnover Efficiency Pressure
Traditional filtration equipment, due to relatively high resistance, often limits single-unit flow rate to 30-40m³/h. Facing large daily shipping demands, overly slow flow rates cause loading bay backlog, increasing logistics costs.
🛢️
Storage Tank Bottom Sediment
Large storage tanks generate sediment, oxide scale, and mechanical impurities at the bottom during long-term operation, which are easily drawn into the loading pipeline under high-intensity suction.
📋
Demanding Downstream Customer Indicators
With the comprehensive implementation of National VI vehicle diesel standards (GB 19147), downstream customers' requirements for diesel cleanliness indicators are becoming increasingly strict, and particulate contaminant content directly affects brand credibility.
⏱️
Maintenance Downtime Costs
During high-load operation periods, frequent cartridge replacement or equipment failures in filtration equipment will directly affect the continuous operation of the loading line.
Stage 2 · Fuel Analysis · NEW
Pre-Filtration Fuel Condition Assessment
Sampling at multiple parallel loading arms confirmed that high-intensity suction entrained tank-bottom oxide scale and sediment, pushing contamination well above National VI (GB 19147) cleanliness limits.
| Indicator | Before Filtration | After Filtration | GB 19147 Target |
|---|
| ISO 4406 Cleanliness | 22/20/17 | 14/12/9 | ≤18/16/13 |
| Free Water (ppm) | 220 | 28 | ≤50 |
| Visual Appearance | Cloudy with suspended solids | Clear & transparent | Clear & bright |
| TAN (mgKOH/g) | 0.20 | 0.10 | ≤0.10 |
| Particle Composition | Oxide scale & mechanical impurities | <4µm organic only | No hard metal particles |
Oxide scale and mechanical impurities confirmed tank-bottom entrainment as the primary contamination source under high-intensity parallel suction.

The 80m³/h application achieved the goal of "high flow, high precision, stable operation," with all sampled indicators of dispatched fuel meeting national standard requirements.
Stage 5 · Lessons Learned · NEW
Key Takeaways from 80m³/h Ultra-High-Flow Storage
✅
Custom Flow Channel Optimization Essential
Reaching 80m³/h requires a custom skid with optimized flow channels and increased effective filtration area. Standard off-the-shelf housings cannot sustain such extreme flow without prohibitive pressure drop, which is why the redundant parallel multi-cartridge design is critical.
⚠️
Parallel Loading Arms Amplify Contamination Risk
When multiple loading arms operate in parallel, high-intensity suction draws tank-bottom oxide scale and mechanical impurities into the pipeline. The polymer rigid composite membrane must synergistically intercept particulates and remove trace free water to protect brand credibility under strict GB 19147 limits.
🔄
Gas-Pulse Regeneration Prevents Loading Line Stoppages
For high-frequency turnover hubs, maintenance downtime directly impacts logistics costs. Gas-pulse group-switching regeneration extends cartridge life and sustains continuous loading line operation, eliminating the frequent replacement failures that previously disrupted dispatch.
