Abstract: A method for filtering algae, comprising receiving a generator shut-off signal indicating that a generator associated with a fuel tank having fuel has shut off; and upon receiving the generator shut-off signal, automatically filtering algae from the fuel. The method further comprises receiving a generator active signal indicating that the generator has been activated; and, upon receiving the generator active signal, ceasing filtering algae from the fuel. Algae is filtered from the fuel by way of an algae treatment unit and a filter assembly. A control module controls the filtering process and comprises an alarm operable for alerting someone in the event of a filtering problem. The system comprises a self-contained mobile system capable of on-site fuel reconditioning.

Abstract translation: 一种用于过滤藻类的方法，包括：接收发生器切断信号，指示与具有燃料的燃料箱相关联的发电机已被切断; 并且在接收到发电机切断信号时，自动从燃料中过滤藻类。 所述方法还包括接收指示所述发生器已被激活的发生器有效信号; 并且在接收到发生器有源信号时停止从燃料中过滤藻类。 藻类通过藻类处理单元和过滤器组件从燃料中过滤。 控制模块控制过滤过程，并且包括用于在发生过滤问题的情况下警告某人的报警器。 该系统包括能够进行现场燃料修复的独立移动系统。
