Marine Uses

1. Fuel Oil Purification

Used to clean fuel before it is burned in engines:

• Marine diesel oil (MDO)

• Marine gas oil (MGO)

• Heavy fuel oil (HFO) (when appropriately heated/conditioned)

Benefits onboard ships:
✔ Removes water and sediment
✔ Protects fuel pumps, injectors and engine components
✔ Improves combustion efficiency
✔ Reduces unplanned engine shutdowns

Typical installations:

• Main engine fuel line

• Auxiliary engine fuel systems

• Generator set fuel supply

2. Lubricating Oil Conditioning

Used for purifying lube oil in:

• Main engines

• Auxiliary engines

• Gearboxes

• Turbochargers

• Stern tube lubrication

Benefits:
✔ Prolongs oil life
✔ Reduces wear on journals and bearings
✔ Improves overall reliability and performance of critical components

3. Continuous Engine Room Oil Management

The OSA-20-0136-066 runs 24/7 in engine rooms with minimal supervision, making it suitable for:

• Merchant ships

• Tankers

• Bulk carriers

• Offshore support vessels

• Fishing vessels

It helps maintain consistent oil quality even under long voyages or heavy duty.

Industrial Uses

1. Power Generation

Used in power plants for:

• Fuel handling systems (cleaning diesel used in generators)

• Lube oil systems on turbine and diesel generators

Benefits:
✔ Ensures stable fuel quality
✔ Reduces fuel treatment costs
✔ Improves turbine/generator reliability

2. Heavy Machinery & Production Equipment

Industrial machines that rely on clean oil to operate efficiently include:

• Compressors

• Hydraulics systems

• Gearboxes and reducers

• Large pumps and motors

Benefits:
✔ Reduces equipment wear
✔ Lowers frequency of oil replacement
✔ Improves uptime and plant productivity

3. Oil Reconditioning & Storage Tanks

Used as a conditioning step for:

• Stored fuel and lubricants

• Waste oil before recycling

• Oils that have absorbed moisture or contaminants during storage

Benefits:
✔ Restores degraded oil quality
✔ Reduces disposal volume/costs
✔ Extends service life of stored oils
