Filers on a Ship
The shipping and shipyard industries are demanding and require the highest level of performance, reliability, and safety. Filtration plays a crucial role in maintaining these standards, whether it is purifying air, liquid, fuel, oil, or monitoring the quality of liquids.
Why are the right filters on board important?
Filtration in the shipping industry is important for several reasons, namely:
- Reliability of systems: Shipping and shipyard operations require reliable equipment and systems. The use of high-quality filters contributes to reliability and extends the lifespan of engines and machinery.
- Environmental regulations: Shipping must comply with strict environmental standards and regulations. Filtration is necessary to minimize emissions and prevent pollution of seas and oceans.
- Safety of personnel: The well-being of crews and shipyard workers is paramount. Filtration ensures clean air, safe fuel and oils, contributing to a safe working environment.
- Optimal performance: Using the right filters ensures efficient fuel consumption and optimal performance of engines and equipment, resulting in cost savings and a competitive advantage.
Common filters in shipping & shipyards
Various types of filtration systems are used on ships to purify a wide range of liquids and gases. This includes fuel filters to provide clean fuel to the engines, oil filters to reduce machinery wear, water filters for drinking water, and ballast water treatment to prevent the spread of harmful organisms. Hydraulic filters are also used to keep the fluids in hydraulic systems on board free from contaminants. In addition, air and gas filters are used to maintain the air quality on board and optimize engine performance. Finally, compressed air and nitrogen are also two important components on board a ship. Compressed air for operating pneumatic systems and nitrogen for inerting tanks on board with flammable or volatile liquids.
