Industrial filtration systems
Protect your operation by protecting your fuel
Water, dirt, and sediment can enter your fuel during transportation, receiving, storage, transfer, and dispensing, and eventually make their way into your equipment.
Control IMS designs filtration solutions to control contamination where it matters most, helping protect fuel quality and the equipment that depends on it.
Contaminated fuel can cost you far more than a filter
Fuel can pick up water, dirt, and sediment at multiple points before it ever reaches your equipment.
Once those contaminants make it downstream, the problem is no longer just fuel quality. It can lead to accelerated wear, costly repairs, unplanned maintenance, equipment downtime, and lost productivity.
The damage starts at the equipment
- Premature filter plugging: Contaminated fuel can shorten filter service life, leading to more frequent filter changes and maintenance.
- Fuel injectors and fuel systems: Contaminants can contribute to plugging, wear, and failures in sensitive fuel system components.
- Pumps and components: Water and particulates can accelerate wear and compromise critical fuel system components.
- Engines and high-value equipment: Fuel system problems can affect equipment performance and, in severe cases, contribute to more extensive damage and costly repairs.
Then the problem becomes a cost
- Unplanned repairs: Unexpected repairs mean additional labor, replacement parts, and technician time.
- Increased parts consumption: Filters and other components may require more frequent replacement.
- Unscheduled maintenance: Instead of servicing equipment when you planned to, you’re forced to respond when the equipment demands it.
- Higher maintenance costs: Repairs, replacement parts, labor, and downtime can add up to a significant operating expense.
And eventually, it impacts your operation
- Equipment downtime: When a truck, machine, or critical piece of equipment is down, it is no longer doing the job you depend on it to do.
- Lower equipment availability: Unexpected failures can leave fewer vehicles and machines available when your operation needs them.
- Lost productivity: Trucks that aren’t moving, machines that aren’t producing, and equipment that isn’t working directly affect your ability to get the job done.
- Business impact: The true cost of a failure doesn’t end with the repair. It also includes the work that didn’t get done while the equipment was down.

The cost of contamination isn't just in the fuel. It's what happens when that contamination reaches your equipment.
It's about more than installing a filter The right solution depends on your operation
Not every application needs the same filtration system.
The fluid, type of contamination, flow rate, installation point, and actual operating conditions all determine the right filtration technology and system configuration.
Control IMS evaluates these factors to determine where filtration is needed, and which solution best fits the application.
Fluid
What are we filtering?
Contamination
What needs to be removed?
Flow rate
How much fluid does the system need to handle?
Application
Where should filtration be installed?
Filtration throughout your operation
Filtration can be installed at one or multiple points throughout your operation, depending on the source of contamination, required flow rate, and level of protection needed.
Receiving
Storage
Transfer
Dispensing
Equipment
Built for bulk transfer applications
Solutions for operations that handle high volumes of fuel or industrial fluids.
- Fuel receiving
- Loading and unloading
- Tank to tank transfer
- Recirculation and fuel conditioning
High-flow filtration
Protect your equipment before the fuel reaches it
Point-of-dispensing filtration helps control particulates and water before fuel is delivered to a vehicle, machine, or piece of equipment.
- Fueling stations
- Pumps and dispensers
- Tank trucks
- Mobile fueling units
Systems can be configured for particulate filtration and water separation based on the requirements of each application.
Fuel dispensing filtration
Equipment filtration
Protection at the point of use
When contamination needs to be controlled directly at the machine or process, we design filtration systems around the equipment, fluid, and operating requirements.
- Mobile equipment and machinery
- Hydraulic systems
- Lubrication systems
- Industrial oils and fluids
Filtration isn't just about cleaner fuel. It's about protecting your operation.
A properly selected filtration strategy helps control contaminants before they reach the components and equipment you depend on.
The goal goes beyond cleaner fluid. It’s about supporting a more reliable operation, protecting critical assets, and keeping equipment ready to work.
Component protection
Help reduce the exposure of filters, injectors, pumps, and other sensitive components to damaging particulates and water.
Improved equipment reliability
Better contamination control helps address one of the factors that can contribute to unexpected failures and unplanned maintenance.
Asset protection
Your trucks, machinery, and equipment represent significant investments. Controlling the quality of the fuel and fluids they rely on helps protect those assets.
Operational uptime
The goal isn't simply cleaner fuel. It's helping keep your equipment available and ready to do the job it was purchased to do.
More than filters. A complete solution.
Assessment
We evaluate your operation, the fluids you handle, potential contamination points, operating conditions, and the equipment you need to protect.
Design
We select the filtration technology, capacity, and system configuration that best fit the application.
Installation
We integrate the filtration solution at the appropriate points within your operation.
Maintenance
We help keep the system performing with replacement elements and ongoing filtration-system support.
Results
A filtration strategy designed to improve contamination control, protect fluid quality, and help safeguard your equipment.
Tell us how your operation works.
Our team can help evaluate:
- What fluid you handle
- Where you receive it
- How you store it
- How you transfer it
- How you dispense it
- What equipment you need to protect
From there, we can identify the points that should be evaluated and recommend the filtration solution that fits your application.
