NEW PROCESS DESIGNS AND EXPERIENCES IN THE FIELD OF THE NEW GENERATION OF HFO CENTRIFUGES AND PLANTS

Following an introductory section and an outline of present and future fuel quality, this paper goes on to present the philosophy underlying a new generation of heavy fuel oil (HFO) centrifuges--in particular, the UNITROL and UNITROL/SECUTROL centrifuges manufactured by Westfalia Separator AG. It then presents examples of arrangements of these centrifuges for HFO treatment. Next, it looks at new developments in the way separator components are constructed--developments that simplify maintenance and servicing, and that lengthen life expectancy. Grain size analysis and the solid particle separating efficiency of the new generation of centrifuges are then discussed, followed by a summary and literature references.
