Purifier Efficiency Monitoring

Many fuel oils contain element that must be reduced prior to the injection of the fuel to the engine. Fuel oil with a water content greater than 0.20% and/or combined aluminium plus silicon content greater than 20 mg/kg must be efficiently purified to ensure that the levels injected to the engine are below the recommended levels. If for any reason the vessel’s purification system is not working as efficiently as it should, then it is possible that the levels of water and/or combined aluminium plus silicon are not reduced sufficiently. Over a period of time this may result in expensive damage being caused to the engine that would not have happened had the purification system been operating efficiently. To assist our clients in avoiding such situations, we can offer a purifier efficiency monitoring service.

Analysis of representative samples taken from key locations will give an indication of how well the entire fuel pre-treatment system is operating and recommendations would be issued based on the findings.
