Healthcare Facilities
In hospitals and critical care facilities, every second counts. From life-support systems to operating rooms, uninterrupted power isn’t just about convenience—it’s about saving lives.
When the power grid fails, backup diesel generators become the lifeline for vulnerable patients, enabling continuous care and preserving vital medical services. Yet many facilities often overlook a crucial vulnerability: the quality of their backup fuel supply.
The Hidden Threat to Patient Safety
Diesel fuel degradation is a silent menace that can compromise the reliability of backup power systems in healthcare settings. Over time, stored fuel deteriorates, forming sediment, absorbing moisture, and fostering microbial growth. For hospitals with critical care units and life-saving equipment, this presents an unacceptable risk that could mean the difference between life and death during a power emergency.
The Real Cost of Contaminated Fuel:
- Generator failure during critical power events, endangering patient lives
- Reduced generator performance affecting critical medical equipment
- Damaged fuel injectors and engine components leading to system failure
- Failed generator startup during emergency situations
- Regulatory non-compliance with NFPA 110 and CMS requirements
