Critical points
The marine industry faces harsh conditions where corrosion risk is highest and equipment durability is vital. Micron-level particles in fuel and lubrication lines cause irreparable mechanical damage, while ballast water regulations impose international compliance requirements.
High-pressure filters on HFO and MDO lines maximize injector and pump life. Clean fuel means more efficient combustion and lower emissions, which translates directly into fuel savings and carbon tax advantages.
Solution: High-pressure fuel filters
IMO and MARPOL regulations require ballast water to be cleared of microorganisms and sediment before discharge. Automatic backwash filters clean to 20–50 micron precision without stopping operations. Super Duplex stainless steel or specially coated housings should be used to withstand the aggressive nature of seawater.
Solution: Automatic backwash filters
Uninterrupted operation of cranes, hatches and steering systems depends on keeping oil at an ISO 4406 cleanliness class. Preventing metallic wear dust and varnish formation stops valves from sticking, and low-pressure-drop filter elements reduce hydraulic pump load and energy consumption.
Solution: Hydraulic filtration to ISO 4406
Ship systems
Select a stage on your line to see the Prosestim filters and micron range used at that point.
01 · Coarse separation
Separating coarse particles at the seawater intake reduces wear on pumps and heat exchangers.
02 · 20–50 µm
Automatic backwash filters clean to 20–50 micron precision without stopping operations.
03 · HFO · MDO
High-pressure filters maximize injector and pump life; clean fuel means more efficient combustion.
04 · ISO 4406
Preventing metallic wear dust and varnish formation stops valves from sticking.
