I'm looking for some biocide to kill some algae in a tote of biodiesel I have. I know Diesel Kleen makes a biocide called Bio Kleen but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can get Bio Kleen or something similar?

Thanks,

 

I know of a distributor in Fort Worth that has it. The best thing to do is just send an email to the guys at Power Service. I did that and they responded in a day. They're a Texas company, so there should be someone around that has what you need.

 

move your mouse over texas and it will show the places

Just a thought, but do you have a plan to remove the water? I am fairly certain that algae growth only occurs in biodiesel containing water. Dry bio will not support the growth of algae. I would hate to see you destroy your injectors with wet bio.

WHEN TO USE A BIOCIDE: Make visual inspections of bulk-storage tanks. Dark, slimy growth may be detected at the interface area between the diesel fuel and the water-bottom or throughout the fuel. A “rotten egg” odor may also be detected. Look for slime on interior walls of tanks and in the sump area – check water drawn from the sump area for slimy debris. Microbial growth can multiply rapidly and may form into long strings and form mats or globules. These are the most common signs of contamination and require immediate treatment.

PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: Although Bio Kleen® is a dual-phase biocide and is effective in both diesel fuel and water, it is recommended that accumulated water be drained or pumped regularly from tank bottoms and that sump areas be drained. Filtering is also recommended to remove fungal debris. Inspect filters and screens regularly. A good maintenance program can reduce microbial growth and increase effectiveness of shock and maintenance treatments.

 

here are a couple of distributors in Tx that carry Racor Biocide

Check with your local John Deere dealer. They have a biocide that works for reg. diesel and bio.
