Fuel is transported from the refinery to bulk storage tanks by truck/train. From there it is loaded into another truck and delivered to your site. Once in storage at your site it can either be transferred to smaller tanks or dispensed directly into equipment, each time the fluids are transferred more contamination can be introduced.

You can protect your fluids by installing a quality Donaldson TRAP breather on the storage tank and remove airbourne contaminants and ambient humidity. You can also polish fluids on the outlet of your tank before dispensing into equipment with Donaldson filtration units. Donaldson filter manifolds are available for the inlet and outlet to allow easy fitting of the filter heads and bowls. Manifolds are available that take 4, 8 and 10 filter units.

Sterling Filtration can offer the entire range of Donaldson bulk fuel storage filtration systems whatever your application. Give us a call on 01902 491118 and we’ll make sure we service your filtration needs.

Sterling Filtration is original equipment makers for the rail industry. We have supplied various types of metal air filter elements for passenger trains used through out the UK. We manufacture and supply various metal panels that filter the air that’s used to cool the transformer radiators via the vehicles bypass shutters. These metal panel filters have other applications too. They can be used on the power pack air intakes collecting dirt and grease and in the ceiling intakes which are used to control the intake of larger debris such as snow and leaves.

The panel filters reduce impressively the amount of maintenance down time, keeping the inside of the train carriage much cleaner reducing scheduled cleaning times.
