Velcon offers CLEANDiesel™ off-board bulk diesel filtration solutions for mining. From reception to remote fuel storage, Velcon products have been developed to ensure clean dry fuel. As higher efficiency Tier 4 engines are mandated by regulatory bodies to reduce carbon emissions, Velcon products are designed and tested to help you meet specified fuel cleanliness levels, ensure compliance with equipment warranty, and reduce equipment lifecycle cost.
Velcon products include:
In addition, our state-of-the-art diesel fuel laboratory and analytical laboratory are capable of understanding your contaminant problems and can offer scientific solutions based on real world conditions.
Velcon’s DFO filters transform contaminated fuels to meet stringent downstream ISO 4406 cleanliness standards. The DFO design balances high surface area and depth filtration to maximize filter life while reducing filtration costs.
Benefits include:
The combination of Velcon’s DI and DSO filters transforms contaminated fuels to meet stringent downstream ISO 4406 and ASTM D975 water and particulate cleanliness standards for petroleum-based diesel fuels. The multi-stage design ensures the fuel is conditioned to a clean and dry state, ready for use.
Benefits include:
Velcon’s Aquacon® for diesel (AD) filters can remove both particulate and water contaminants in fuels to meet stringent downstream ISO 4406 and ASTM D975 cleanliness standards for both diesel and bio-diesel fuels. The AD design incorporates multiple layers of both high-efficiency long-life particulate capturing and water-absorbing media.
AD filters are ideal for use in biodiesel and blended fuels where high levels of surfactants (glycerin) could disrupt water coalescing.
Benefits include:
The Velcon contaminant analyzer (VCA®) is designed to simultaneously detect water and solid particles in diesel fuel at ‘full-flow’ by utilizing a laser sensing technology similar to those used in the US Navy for monitoring fuel on aircraft carriers.
Benefits include:
Velcon’s diesel filtration skid (DFS) uses filter (VF) and coalescing (V) housings that have been proven to withstand years of service in the most challenging environments. We have combined the housings with Velcon’s outstanding DFO filtration products and world-class DI and DSO coalescing and separation products. The combined components work to condition contaminated fuels to meet the most stringent ISO 4406 and ASTM D975 standards for emulsified and free water as well as abrasive particulate.
Benefits include:
Many companies commonly under-size filtration systems while increasing filtration flow rates in order to minimize up-front costs. Sizing a filtration system solely on flow, while failing to account for incoming fluid contamination levels, results in reduced filter life and high operating costs.
Velcon’s extensive bulk fuel handling experience and our state-of-the-art fuel testing laboratory have quantitatively proven that increased system/housing will allow for lower flow rates per filter while dramatically extending the service life of the elements. Systems ‘sized for life’ commonly see a full repayment of the additional system cost through operating savings.
Using Velcon’s proprietary software, SizeRight™, for system sizing, we can help you select the right housing and elements for your application based on your ISO 4406 cleanliness requirements and specified change-out interval while also providing you with an estimated yearly operating cost.

Diesel and biodiesel fuels may leave a refinery clean, but fuel quality can vary at the time it is dispensed due to contamination accumulated during transport and storage. Operators and engine manufacturers report that the majority of engine issues are due to dirt and/or water in the fuel.
Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced that it has successfully completed its previously announced transaction to acquire Velcon Filters, LLC, from The Sterling Group LP, a private equity firm.
