All diesel engines produce nanoparticles of soot as a product of combustion. A 99kW generator installed on a yacht before 2012 is allowed to produce over 700 grams (1.5 pounds) of particulates (soot) per day. Many of these nanoparticles will imbed themselves in the microscopic pores present in the highest quality hull finish, resulting in permanent staining and damage from attempts to clean soot stains around the generator exhaust. By effectively capturing and removing particulate matter, these systems play a crucial role in minimizing air pollution and protecting the marine environment.
The filter captures soot particles plus unburned fuel and lubricating oil where it is reduced to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Inorganic particulates originating in lubricating oil additives and produced through normal engine wear are retained in the filter and removed by periodic mechanical cleaning.
Investing in a marine diesel particulate filtration system is a smart choice for improving air quality, increasing fuel efficiency, and promoting sustainable maritime operations. Trust our expertise and experience to provide you with the best solution for your marine filtration needs.
The engine filter system protects your yacht finish by capturing soot and damaging particulates before they are discharged from the exhaust – let us help you create a cleaner and safer marine environment.
The benefits include:
A diesel particulate filter is a robust and dependable system that requires no more than the normal care and attention provided to any other component of engine room machinery.
Our advanced DPF filtration systems are specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of marine applications, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with strict emissions regulations. With innovative technologies and high-quality materials, our filtration systems are built to withstand the harsh marine environment and deliver long-lasting reliability.
