Marine Diesel (Shipping Fleet Management)
An Asia-Pacific shipping group operates a fleet of ocean-going cargo vessels active on global routes. To ensure that multiple core cargo vessels can achieve ISO 8217 quality requirements when fueling at different ports, the group decided to customize a highly mobile filtration solution for each vessel.
When managing fuel cleanliness, the ship operator was constrained by the fixed nature of traditional equipment:
Non-fixed fueling points: Vessel fueling port positions vary, and fixed filtration systems require complex and expensive piping.
Uncontrollable new oil quality: Even newly purchased light diesel (MGO) often contains substandard particles and moisture during barge transfer.
Space and maintenance limitations: Engine room space is precious, and the crew prefers equipment that is "ready to use" without cumbersome installation and commissioning.
High maintenance costs: Existing filtration equipment has complex structures, and cartridge replacement requires specialized tools and is time-consuming, increasing crew burden.
We provided the group with customized JY-H130 mobile filtration purification units:
Flexible mobility: Equipped with heavy-duty omnidirectional locking casters and an ergonomic trolley base, the crew can easily deploy it at deck fueling ports or alongside engine room daily service tanks; it can be locked in place during voyages.
Composite membrane filter cartridge: Using polymer rigid composite membrane, with 5 μm filtration precision, supports online backwashing to extend service life; when replacement is due, it can be changed via a quick-open structure without dismantling the piping.
Plug-and-play: Comes with oil-resistant hoses and quick-connect fittings, ready to start purification upon connection to ship power.
Robust protection: For the marine salt spray environment, the cabinet and trolley use high-grade anti-corrosion coating (ISO 12944 C5-M), with electrical components rated to IP56. Explosion-proof (Ex) motors are recommended for fuel operation areas to meet hazardous area compliance requirements.
The deployment of 15 JY-H130 mobile units provided the fleet with exceptional operational flexibility. Crew members could reposition equipment as needed across deck fueling ports and engine room tanks, achieving full-process quality control from fueling to storage. Since the composite membrane cartridges support online backwashing, replacement cycles were significantly extended, improving in-port turnaround efficiency. After installation, the failure rate of the vessels' precision injector components decreased noticeably.
The mobile design of the JY-H130 is exactly what our crew wanted. It is very flexible — whether fueling on deck or circulating oil in the engine room tanks, just push it to where it's needed. What impressed us most is that the filter cartridge can be backwashed, and when it's time for replacement, there's no need to dismantle the piping, which significantly reduced our workload at sea.
