Challenge
The fuel from large engines is filtered and separated in the KFWA (KFWA MAIN) fuel treatment system. Separating water is detected by a probe and automatically discharged.
The FC-001-040-PS-10 treatment element used prevents the concentration of free water from rising above 70 ppm. This provides effective protection against diesel pest. The single-stage system thus prevents engine damage and system failures. Thanks to its compact design, it requires little space in the ship's engine room. The KFWA MAIN fuel treatment system is designed for use between the bunker tank and the main engine.
Solution statement
- High-performance fuel treatment systems from Filtration Group Industrial can maximize the usability of even the poorest quality fuels.
- Complete fuel filtration systems are specifically tailored to the requirements of large engines.
- The systems operate reliably and safely at all times in fully automated operation. Using filter and coalescer technology, fuel treatment systems can minimize the amount of dirt and water in the fuel, thus preventing premature wear of engine components.
Customer benefit
- More power, fewer emissions – thanks to fuel care for the engine. The longer, more reliably, and with less maintenance, large engines run in marine operations, the higher their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Clean fuels and lubricating oils make a decisive contribution to maintaining and extending the service life of an engine and ensuring low-emission operation. Filtration Group Industrial offers a wide range of fuel care systems for marine engines.
- At FILCOM GmbH, customers get everything from a single source. More safety, more cost-effectiveness, and better performance for our customers on the high seas. Because only reliable service builds trust and conveys reliability and professionalism.
