Keeping fuel and lube oils clean Reliable engine performance and prolonged engine life demand clean fuel and lube oils. Based on the centrifugal separator, Alfa Laval fuel and lube oil treatment systems are designed to protect your engine equipment. They have proven their efficiency and reliability in engine rooms worldwide for decades. Installed between the bunker tank and the day tank, Alfa Laval fuel oil purifiers protect diesel engines by removing water and sludge particles from the fuel. FALCON series For heavier fuel and crude oils, Alfa Laval supplies a wide range of self-cleaning purifiers. These are available as separate modules, and include pre-heaters and starter and control panels. Lube can be contaminated by condensate, by leaks from cooling systems or by salt water entering the crankcase. It can also be affected by sludge particles originating from the combustion process or wear on moving parts. Alfa Laval lube oil clarifiers remove all these contaminants, resulting in clean lubricating oil. Features and benefits • Simple, compact and robust design • Constant efficiency in removing solids and water • No pre-filtration necessary • Environmentally friendly sludge disposal (no cartridges) • Automatic, unattended operation • Low operating cost • Easy maintenance • Reliability and long working life Fuel and lube oil centrifuges for the oil and gas industry Falcon 12 Double unit with options Fig. 1 Throughput capacities Module
