Biofuel separator for marine applications
Efficiently separate and purify marine biofuels while meeting the stringent environmental requirements, ensuring optimal engine performance and fuel quality for sustainable shipping operations.
Separates and Purifies Marine Biofuels Efficiently
The GEA Biofuel Separator, a flagship product from GEA, is engineered to efficiently handle the purification of marine biofuels such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). Leveraging a robust centrifugal separation process, it effectively removes water and contaminants, ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards such as ISO 8217:2017. This separator is specially designed for the marine and shipping industries, supporting the transition to more sustainable, carbon-neutral fuels.
This equipment boasts a high-speed, continuous operation enhanced by its integrated direct drive, optimizing energy use and reducing the overall footprint onboard vessels. Smart connectivity features allow for remote monitoring and proactive maintenance, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and featuring user-friendly engineering, it promises ease in maintenance and longevity.
GEA offers customization and technical support, with options for upgrading older separator models to be compatible with biofuel specifications, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. This approach not only reinforces sustainable shipping practices but also delivers reliable performance and operational efficiency.
