Older purifiers often discharge 15-20% of the fuel as sludge. The new version’s precise water seal control and intermittent partial discharges reduce sludge volume to just 5-8%. Result: Less waste to dispose of, lower incinerator load, and significant bunker savings.
Catalytic fines (aluminum and silicon oxides) are abrasive particles in fuel that destroy injection pumps and cylinder liners. The new CAS 200’s optimized bowl geometry and controlled discharge frequency remove cat fines down to 2 microns. Independent testing shows the new version reduces cat fine concentration from 80 mg/kg (heavy contamination) to <10 mg/kg—well below engine manufacturer limits.
A typical retrofit takes two technicians approximately 6-8 hours per unit. The return on investment (ROI) for the retrofit comes from energy savings (up to 35%) and reduced disc replacements, often paying for itself within 12-18 months.
