Fuel Oil and Lube Oil Purifiers for Ships & Marine Applications

Fuel oil used in ships often contains impurities like water, dirt, and other contaminants. If these are not removed, they can cause significant problems in the engines. Marine oil purifiers use different separation techniques, such as centrifugal separation. In a centrifugal oil purifier, the oil is spun at high speeds. The denser impurities, including water and sediment, are forced to the outer edges of the separator bowl due to centrifugal force, while the clean oil remains in the center and is then collected and sent on for use in the engine. This helps to prevent engine wear, improve combustion efficiency, and reduce the risk of engine breakdowns.

Lubricating oil also needs to be purified. Over time, it can accumulate metal particles from engine wear, as well as soot and other contaminants. A ship oil purifier for lubricating oil ensures that the lubricant can continue to effectively lubricate the engine components, reducing friction and heat generation. This extends the lifespan of the engine parts and helps maintain the overall performance of the machinery on board.
