ISO 4406 Diesel Monitoring Case Studies

Q: How clean can single-pass filtration make stored diesel?

Trendfuel's strategic partner DieselPure routinely takes stored mining diesel from an ISO 4406 of 22/20/14 before the filter to 9/6/0 after a single pass, using SAE J1488:2010 filtration at flow rates from 40 to over 2000 L/min, with Trendfuel monitoring cleanliness throughout.

Real fuel, real sites, real numbers. These case studies are illustrative of how Trendfuel's live ISO 4406 monitoring — paired with single-pass SAE J1488:2010 filtration from our strategic partner DieselPure — protects stored diesel across mining and emergency-power operations worldwide.

Trendfuel has been monitoring over 1 million litres of fuel every week since 2020 in mining, and has delivered HMI/PLC control systems to 120+ emergency-power sites. In the Pilbara, Australia, roughly 1.2 million litres are analysed every week with live ISO 4406 IoT. Across 120+ global emergency-power sites — including hyperscale data centers — Trendfuel HMI/PLC control systems are in place, with ISO 4406 monitoring where deployed.

The proof

Two demanding environments. One ISO 4406 program.

From remote haul-truck fueling in the Australian outback to standby generators that must start on demand, Trendfuel measures how clean stored diesel really is — while our strategic partner DieselPure cleans it in a single pass. Explore both case studies below, then see how the technology works on our ISO 4406 monitoring page.

Mining · Pilbara, Australia

1.2 million litres cleaned weekly

Remote haul-truck fueling site with live ISO 4406 IoT from Trendfuel and DieselPure single-pass filtration taking fuel from 22/20/14 to 9/6/0 — part of over 1 million litres of fuel monitored every week since 2020.

Why it matters

Tank gauges measure how much. Trendfuel measures how clean.

Water, dust and degradation push stored fuel past ISO 4406 limits long before anyone notices. Across every site in these case studies, Trendfuel's continuous particle counting and DieselPure's single-pass filtration catch contamination before it reaches an injector or generator.

Common questions

Case studies, answered.

How much diesel has Trendfuel monitored?

Trendfuel has been monitoring over 1 million litres of fuel distribution every week since 2020, including roughly 1.2 million litres a week in the Pilbara, Australia, and Trendfuel HMI/PLC control systems across 120+ global emergency-power sites.

What kinds of operations do these case studies cover?

The case studies are illustrative of Trendfuel's program across two demanding environments: remote mining haul-truck fueling in the Pilbara, and standby-power HMI/PLC control systems at 120+ emergency-power sites including hyperscale data centers.

How clean can single-pass filtration make stored diesel?

Our strategic partner DieselPure routinely takes stored mining diesel from ISO 4406 22/20/14 before the filter to 9/6/0 after a single pass, using SAE J1488:2010 filtration at flow rates from 40 to over 2000 L/min, with Trendfuel monitoring cleanliness throughout.

Can the same approach work at a remote site with no fixed internet?

Yes. Trendfuel supports 5G/LTE/3G, IoT SIM cards, LoRaWAN and satellite (including Starlink) connectivity, so live ISO 4406 data streams from even the most remote worksites — as demonstrated in the Pilbara case study.
