Fuel & Oil Treatment

Fuel Treatment & Conditioning

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.

Water, solids, cat fines - reliably removed

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.

Central Mare: full speed ahead with new GEA marine Separator

New, global legal requirements for marine protection and ever-increasing environmental awareness among the general public, along with the marine sector’s own desire to be more sustainable, means shipping companies are taking a close look at the fuels and lubricants they use on board.

Mile by mile better and more efficient: With the new GEA marine Separator 35 GEA supports its long-standing customer and partner Danaos Shipping, Greece. With a fleet of 60 container ships, Danaos Shipping ranks among the top 3 in the Greek shipping business. The company was founded in 1972 by Dr. Dimitris Koustas. Today, his son, Dr John Koustas, who also has more than 30 years of extensive experience in the shipping industry, is President and CEO. Danaos shipping is very active in researching innovations in ship operation and has participated in several EU-funded projects. The company is also an active member of the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association (HELMEPA), Europe's first private association for the protection of the marine environment. Within the framework of the technical cooperation, it was therefore logical to install the new GEA marine Separator 35 on a Danaos ship, to test it under the given conditions and to incorporate the results in the further development of the GEA separators.
