MTC-500
Mobile Fuel Polishing System
The MTC-500 Mobile Fuel Polishing System is designed to efficiently and safely clean and restore fuel to pristine condition. The
MTC-500 incorporates a multi-stage filtration process that reconditions, stabilizes and decontaminates diesel, biofuels, light oils
and hydraulic fluids. All MTC systems are specifically designed for tanks with contaminated fuel that require the removal of
water, sediment, and sludge accumulation.
MTC Systems are built with industrial quality components mounted on a heavy-duty aluminum cart. A clear suction hose shows
fuel flow and clarity. The large drip tray is designed to prevent spillage. By using the pre-filter bypass loop (discharge Port 1),
the system can efficiently and safely remove free water without the use of consumables.
