FuelFuel is any material that releases energy, especially by burning.
The fuels used in ships are primarily hydrocarbons, generally
known as fossil fuels. With the introduction of global clean air
standards, modern fuels have more challenges to deal with than
ever before. At the same time, engine performance is optimized.
As a result, filtration becomes more and more important.

Lube OilA lubricant is a substance introduced to reduce friction between
moving surfaces. Engine components are kept in good condition
as long as they are cooled, lubricated, cleaned and protected.
Combustion engines need to be lubricated all the time, but the
oil must be kept at a sound cleanliness level.
That is why adequate filtration is a prerequisite.

Hydraulic oilHydraulic oil is the medium by which power is transferred in
hydraulic machinery. Common hydraulic fluids are based on
mineral oil and/or water. The operating conditions under which
hydraulic fluids are working, can be quite tough. To keep the
system going, the oil-cleanliness level for critical components
must be kept under control. That means: filtration.

WaterWater is a chemical substance and generally speaking it is a
liquid at ambient conditions. Apart from serving as drinking water,
it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances
and it facilitates industrial cooling and transportation.
Directly linked to the specific application of water on board of
ships, filters are indispensable in various systems.

AirShip components and engines use in-take air for various purposes.
The air from the direct environment contains solid particles of all
kind, next to mist, condensates, bacteria, etc, etc. In most cases
air has to be treated before being applied and components must
be adequately protected. Filters are widely used, where air quality
must be kept at a safe level to guarantee trouble free operation.

Bilge water SeparatorThis is water that gets accumulated in the bilge compartments of
a ship. It is a mixture of fresh water, seawater, oil, sludge, chemicals
and various other fluids. Obviously, the greater part of this water
is lost either through leakage or operational faults. Periodically,
the bilge compartments must be empted by pumping out the water.
Separating – and filtering techniques are used to prevent too much
contamination.
