DIESEL SWITCH

Change over or blending

Fuel management without
compromise.

The DIESEL SWITCH is a fuel management system which helps you to comply with MARPOL
regulation. It controls fully automatically the changeover and blending process on board your
good vessels and will manage additional processes within your fuel system. Protect your engine
- no human risk! Save ship operation - change over or blending process in maneuvering area’s.

Manual change over valve DIESEL SWITCH

! Risk of incidents due to uncontrolled change over ✔ Automatic and safe change over unit with safety
! Risk of damages in fuel system due to temperature functions
shocks ✔ No risk of incidents
✔ Improved temperature separation of fuel systems
✔ Class approved change over or blending proce-
dure
✔ Simple and universal design - easy installation
✔ Automated, permanently controlled fuel blending
✔ Viscosity monitoring with alarm function

Saving potential considering fuel oil blending

Example
nnSulphur-limit of 0.5 % in ECA
nnPrice of MDO EURO 750.-/mt, price of HFO EURO 480.-/mt
nn3.5 % Sulphur in HFO, 0.1 % Sulphur in MDO
nnRatio = 88.2 % MOD / 11.8 % HFO

Approximate saving potential: 5 - 10 % based on example.

ROI will be between 3...12 months!

Recommended option Homogenizer

Homogenizer

Asphaltenes formed into Asphaltenes are sheared back

cotton like strands in res- to approx. 5 µm into a homo-
dual oil geneous blend

Homgenizing of fuel oil and fuel oil blends

nnContinious HFO homogenizing on board
nnPure mechanical and no chemical treatment
nnImproved combusiton process
nnReduced exhaust emissions
