Fuel & Oil Treatment
Diesel engines on ships are driven by diesel or heavy fuel oils which are frequently contaminated with water and solids. To enable the propulsion engines to work with the minimum wear possible, these oils have to undergo continuous treatment.
The unitrol® system enable separators from GEA to remove water and unwanted solids (such as cat fines which damage engines) reliably and efficiently from the fuel oil – even under the most extreme conditions of use at sea. This provides reliable protection for important engine components such as cylinder liners, pistons, piston rings or the injection system.

GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...

Efficient operation of ship and power station diesel engines requires optimum fuel supply. This key condition is accomplished by the ViscoBoosterUnits for fuel treatment.
