How does the RCI Technologies Purifier work?


John Tucker
Salesman, Willocks Construction Corporation - ConVault & RCI

The RCI Technologies purifier is a unique product utilizing a three-stage purification process using two well-known fuel separation principles, centrifugal and coalescence. By using these two principles, water and other contaminates are separated from the fuel. This eliminates fuel filter clogging, related breakdowns, down time, and frequent filter replacements.

As the fuel enters the purifier, it flows downward in a circular movement through an internal baffle system entering the lower chamber of the purifier.

1st Stage:
In the first stage of purification, the velocity of the fuel slows down considerably, allowing any free water droplets and other contaminates to maintain their mass and not emulsify with the fuel. These impurities accumulate and remain at the bottom of the purifier until purged.

2nd Stage:
In the second stage of purification, the fuel migrates through three perforated baffle plates to stop any particulates and attract, by way of coalescence, any water droplets still remaining.

Final Stage:
In the final stage of purification, the fuel passes through our patented coalescence medium to assure that any small water droplets or particulates will be coalesced out of the fuel stream. Only the clean fuel rises to the top, providing a cleaner burning fuel for quicker ignition and better combustion. Consistent clean fuel helps to increase the engine’s dependability, power, and efficiency.

A small heating element (optional) to preheat the fuel, which helps to liquefy the paraffin providing better lubrication for the entire fuel system including the pump and injectors. This heating element eliminates any wax or gelling problems.

The RCI Technologies purifier is simple to install, and provides The Permanent Solution to fuel system management and control.

Advantages Of The RCI Technologies Fuel Purifier

There are many advantages and benefits for the owner and operator when an RCI Technologies fuel purifier is installed on your equipment. These advantages include the following:

• Engine Benefits
• Economic Benefits
• Ecological Benefits

Additional Features & Benefits

RCI Technologies products save dollars by eliminating the need for frequent primary and secondary replaceable fuel filter element or spin-on filter canister replacement.

RCI Technologies products work on a simple centrifugal principle with NO troublesome internal moving or wearing parts (infinite product service life.)

RCI removes 100% of ALL free water in the fuel (non-emulsified water).

RCI fuel purifiers remove solid contaminants in fuel down to approximately 5 to 8 microns in size.

RCI meets or exceeds SAE Secondary fuel filtration requirements (10 microns).

Each model traps or retains an excessive amount of water and particulate contamination.

RCI fuel purifiers help assure maximum engine long-term durability (reliability).

When RCI fuel purifiers are purged every 30 days, they can extend the recommended change interval of the engine 2-micron final-stage fuel filter.

RCI fuel purifiers promote and provide maximum engine uptime availability.

The U.S. EPA and California CARB say, "Clean air starts with burning clean fuel."

Optional water sensor available.

12-volt DC or 24-volt DC fuel heater feature optionally available.

Finished with a baked-on, chip resistant protective powder coat with 3 mils film thickness that meets a 1,000 hour ASTM B 117 salt spray standard.

Exclusive RCI Technologies 5 year, unlimited mileage, unlimited hour, written product Warranty (subject to fewer conditions, limitations, and terms).

Any water, even the smallest droplets can cause serious problems with the fuel sensors in new electronic engines.

New low sulfur and low aromatic fuel leads to faster water separations and more rapid buildup of algae.

Engine Benefits

Eliminates all water from the fuel system, thus avoiding time-consuming breakdowns while preventing the formation of damaging sulfuric acid.

Removes all solid particles from the fuel system, including oxides, dirt, rubbish, and all other impurities with a density greater than that of the fuel itself.

Preheats the paraffin contained in all fuel, providing superior lubrication of the entire fuel system including the injector pump, injectors, and cylinder walls. (Heater-optional part)

Economic Benefits

Cleaner fuel will increase fuel economy.

Reduces down time.

Extends the life of the primary filter.

Protects and extends the life of the engine.

No internal or external parts requiring service or replacement.

Ecological Benefits

Increases the operating life of fuel filters.

The major component of fuel filters is paper. Use of an RCI Technologies fuel purifier results in fewer trees being cut each year.

Reduction in landfill due to fewer fuel filter replacements.

Providing fuel that is free of water and suspended particulates is the first step in exhaust emissions control.

Significant improvements in exhaust emissions. Tests on the RCI Technologies fuel purifier show that smoke emissions were reduced by 17.3%, carbon monoxide emissions by 10.4% and nitrogen oxides by 5.9%.
