Drainage and hydraulic filtration: two pillars for operational safety on the high seas

On the high seas, filter systems have three central tasks: fuel processing, bilge water separation and maintaining the cleanliness hydraulic fluids in the ship’s engine. Filtration Group Industrial has filter system solutions for all application scenarios that not only achieves the required filtration performance, but also adapts to the cramped spatial conditions on ships. If necessary, individual solutions are also developed.

The technology installed on ships must function perfectly despite the adverse external conditions. Filtration Group Industrial offers a whole range of high performance industrial filters and separators for hydraulic filtration on ships. In addition to the filter elements for the original filters, Filtration Group Industrial offers filtersystems as direct replacements for parts from other manufacturers with the EcoParts series.

When it comes to fuel maintenance and bilge water separation, Filtration Group Industrial relies on separation using the coalesce method. This separates oil and water efficiently and works without the addition of chemicals. The residual oil content in the filtered bilge water is below the internationally required level of 5 ppm. Conversely, the clean drainage of the fuel prevents corrosion and deposits in the engine.

Together we are making shipping …

…safer, because we protect the technical equipment on a ship from dirt and corrosion and thus help avoid malfunctions on the open sea

…healthier, because we make sure that all water leaving the ship has been purified in accordance with international regulations

…more productive, because we have designed our filter and separation solutions to be like a favorable flow for the ship: a powerful boost for profitability.
