Rail Industry Case Studies
BDF2 Allows Rail Operator to Recover Lost Revenue
Due to poor fuel quality, a Class 1 Rail Carrier was experiencing frequent in-field failures of their MOW (Maintenance-of-Way) equipment, including their Fuel & Lube Trucks. This lack of fuel quality control was costing the customer thousands of dollars in parts and labor, downtime, and lost revenue overall. Schroeder’s experts retrofitted the customer’s MOW fleet with BDF2 filters (BDF with dual GHCF filters), providing immediate improvements.
Here’s how the BDF2 benefited this customer:
57% Increase in Particulate Filtration Efficiency
19% Reduction in Absolute Water Content (52ppm Below World Wide Fuel Charter Maximum Water Content)
300k USD in Lost Revenue Recovered Daily
