Improve Fuel Quality With Clay Treater Vessels
Clay Treaters are used in multiproduct pipeline installations, and wherever surfactant laden or discolored fuel is a problem. They can be configured to accept bags or canisters.
Clay treaters will continuously adsorb surfactants, color and additives from jet fuel when used with Facet replaceable clay elements. Housings are designed for easy servicing and low maintenance. All are built to ASME Code, Section VIII. Standard and optional accessories and connections are available to facilitate piping and installation requirements.
PFPUSA has one of the largest Clay Treater Rental Fleets in the country. We can utilize a single Clay Treater or manifold multiple Clay Treaters together to achieve your desired flow rate and maximize the residence time required to properly clean your fuel from a variety of problems.
On average, we are able to treat your fuel for around $0.05 a gallon. What does it cost to down grade it?

Common Applications for Clay Treater Vessel Rentals
Clay treater vessel rentals are used when standard particulate filtration and coalescing systems are not enough to fully restore fuel quality. These rental clay treater vessels provide a cost-effective alternative to purchasing equipment while ensuring reliable fuel quality restoration.
FUEL POLISHING & LONG-TERM STORAGE STABILITY
- Removes oxidation byproducts and color bodies that develop during storage
- Stabilizes fuel for long-term use
- Ideal for tanks with aging fuel or inconsistent turnover
Surfactants Removal & Water Separation
- Eliminates surfactants that prevent proper fuel/water separation
- Restores effectiveness of coalescer/separator vessels
- Common in jet fuel and critical fuel handling systems
Severe Fuel Contamination
- Addresses fuel impacted by microbial activity, water ingress, or chemical contamination
- Restores off-spec fuel to usable condition without full disposal
Frequently Asked Questions
When is a clay treater used in fuel systems?
Clay treaters remove surfactants, color bodies, and polar compounds – typically after coalescing or before final fuel polishing – to restore fuel quality.
Do you provide on-site personnel for setup and operation?
Yes. Our ceritified field technicians can handle delivery, installation, media replacement, and breakdown, ensuring your system meets fuel-spec requirements.
Can clay treaters be used in aviation or diesel fuel systems?
Absolutely. These vessels meet ASTM and EI standards for aviation and diesel fuel treatment.
How often should the clay media be changed?
Media changeout frequency is determined by the contaminant load. PFP provides replacement clay and disposal service.
