    For diesel fuel treatment aimed at increasing the flash point, a suitable GlobeCore solution is the CMM-4,0F oil and fuel filtration unit, which can be configured for purification of diesel fuel from particulate matter and contaminants. However, if the low flash point is caused by the presence of light volatile fractions, filtration alone will not be sufficient. In this case, GlobeCore equipment with a vacuum treatment stage should be considered to remove volatile components and moisture under controlled conditions. The exact configuration should be selected according to the initial and required flash point, fuel composition, contamination level, and the required processing capacity. A laboratory analysis of the fuel before treatment is recommended to determine the most appropriate GlobeCore configuration.
