Purifiers & Separators

Purifiers & Separators - General Information

Purifiers & Separators help us ensure optimum combustion in diesel engines and reduce engine wear from corrosion, by removing sediments and impurities from fuels and lubricating oils. As a result separators and clarifiers of this type, help in the prevention of engine breakdowns and ensure reliable equipment operation for longer time periods.

The cleaning of oil is a crucial procedure for the reliable and economical running of engines and machinery that use oil. Clean oil reduces wear and corrosion on engines and machine equipment. As a result, operating costs decrease and durability increases thus helping on preventing engine breakdowns. The most widely used method for removing impurities is the centrifugal method. However, there are also other types of separators like the coalescing plate pack separators and petrol interceptor separators, that use gravitational forces in their operations.

Proper maintenance is highly recommended for every purifier and clarifier. Inspection and monitoring services every six months are recommended. Engine officers and superintendent engineers need to carefully select the sources of their spares.
