Additives, in particular those rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, enhance microbial growth and accelerate the process of biodegradation. Biosurfactants, enable water to emulsify into the fuel, spreading and increasing the damaging effects of microbial contamination. It clogs your filters and can cause complete engine shut down. Traditional Filtration removes water and sludge, the by-products of bacterial and enzyme activity. The use of biocides often aggravates these filtration problems.
Microbes are very small one cell organisms - a membrane filled with cellular fluid and electrolytes.
Their metabolism and reproduction depend on an electric balance over the cell membrane. Any disturbance of this delicate balance is detrimental to the cell's life sustaining functions. The process of transferring kinetic energy into electric energy by means of a magnetic field is known as induction. This disrupts the electric balance over the cell membrane, killing the microbes and decontaminating the fuel. See the Technical pages for more details.
