Abstract
Fuel filtration for ship and power station application is still of great importance for a reliable and cost-saving operation of diesel engines. This paper is focusing on the newest large 4-stroke and 2-stroke engine designs which have high-level requirements in fuel filtration. We will point out the necessity to have the best possible technical solution for fuel oil treatment with regard to removal of harmful solids as well as to use equipment with design features, which will stay at its initial high level. BOLL & KIRCH uses the newest quality-controlled design and methods of fault analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and efficient tests of all components as well as pilot production and final field tests to avoid deviations during the serial production. This leads to a new generation of HFO automatic backflushing filters on a very high quality level.
