有效远离残留催化颗粒困扰

即使使用了合规的新燃料,残留催化颗粒仍然是对发动机的最大威胁。 由于炼油厂的切割和混合过程,一些新燃料的残留催化颗粒含量甚至比传统重燃油还要高。幸运的是,我们可以更好地去除残留催化颗粒,最大限度保护发动机。

ALCAP® means smart protection

Setting a separator’s oil/water interface with a gravity disc is ineffective for multi-fuel operations and the varying density of new fuels, because the interface constantly changes. By using Alfa Laval S separators with ALCAP technology, you achieve uninterrupted separation performance. ALCAP technology automatically adjusts the separator to the nature of the oil, which minimizes fuel losses and maximizes the removal cat fines and other damaging particles.

With the latest-generation Alfa Laval disc stack, S separators can provide even greater separation efficiency.

ALCAP® technology

By monitoring water content in the clean oil outlet, ALCAP technology automatically adjusts separator operation to the nature of your fuel.

Synchronizing separation with engine load

Existing fuel lines were designed for operation at full engine load. In today’s era of slow steaming, however, full load is the exception rather than the rule. In most cases, an overflow of cleaned fuel is returned to the settling tank.

By using Alfa Laval FlowSync and variable frequency drives on your pumps, you can turn the situation to your advantage. The solution matches the separator feed to your engine’s fuel consumption, which eliminates excess pumping and provides more time in the separator bowl. The result is even better removal of cat fines – and less energy used.

 

Alfa Laval FlowSync

Alfa Laval FlowSync is an automatic separator feed pump control system. By determining the flow to the separators based on actual engine load, it enhances both engine protection and energy efficiency.

A final line of defence

High-speed separators do the primary job of removing cat fines from fuel. However, a filter is needed as a last protective barrier before the engine. Engine makers today recommend filters that remove particles down to 10 microns in size. In addition, effective filter backflushing is needed due to the high asphaltene content in new fuels, which increases the risk of filter clogging.

Alfa Laval fuel oil filters

Robust Alfa Laval fuel oil filters come in fine filtration grades, including filtration down to 10 microns. A space-saving design makes them easy to retrofit, while their effective backflushing reduces maintenance.
