GEA marine FuelGuard
FuelGuard - the automated way to reduce fuel lossFuel oil is a critical cost factor in the shipping industry. Marine separators play a significant role in onboard fuel treatment. Oil losses caused by the imprecise dosing of displacement water into the bowl are a downside of timer-controlled separation processes.
More precision for more economy
FuelGuard resolves this problem by exactly dosing displacement water into the bowl according to volume. This process is fully automatic, does not require an interface and leads to significantly reduced oil loss during emptying.
GEA marine BowlGuard
BowlGuard - smart cleaning solutionConventionally, oil separation takes place at pre-set intervals. The problem with timed ejection processes leads to increased sludge volume.
Maximum precision
BowlGuard solves this problem by monitoring the bowl in real time, checking solid content at regular intervals, and ejecting solid deposits. It does by collecting values, calculating the current filling volume of the bowl, and monitoring the degree of disk contamination before triggering the cleaning process as required. In this way, BowlGuard minimizes disposal costs.
GEA marine FlowGuard
FlowGuard - fuel processing on demandMany separators run permanently at full capacity even though the actual consumption of the main engine varies. Adjusting the running performance to the real demand would not only save energy but would also ensure less wear. This is where FlowGuard comes into play.
Optimal running
FlowGuard software adjusts separator performance to main engine demand. This ensures very efficient running, saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. What is more, thanks to the adjusted nominal capacity, it also reduces wear and tear and enables a longer service life.
Additional features
FlowGuard only processes as much fuel as is needed. As a result, the day tank is only filled according to requirements. Separation efficiency is also improved.
GEA marine CatfineGuard
CatfineGuard - The finest fuel at your fingertips
Not many years ago, impurities and irregularities in the consistency of bunker fuel were handled safely using standard on-board purification procedures and established separator technology. This changed with the growth in abrasive cat fines in marine fuels – something that poses a serious issue for today’s marine risk management.
CatfineGuard mitigates this risk by carefully filtering out cat fines contained in the fuel, ensuring maximum fuel quality and reduced component wear. Depending on fuel type, it does this by separating out even smaller particles, which would normally remain in the fuel, using hot separation at temperatures up to 110 °C.
Additional features
The software works hand in hand with the FlowGuard extension and adapts to the real demand of the main engine. The entire software package interacts resulting in energy-saving and cost-efficient separator and motor performance.
