Efficiency is crucial in marine operations. Every decision, from equipment selection to operational practices, impacts performance and costs. Centrifugal filters have emerged as key players in optimizing engine function, reducing maintenance, and improving overall operational reliability. IOW Group leads the way with innovative centrifugal filter solutions designed to enhance marine efficiency.

Diesel engines are the backbone of heavy-duty machinery, powering industries such as construction, mining, marine, and transportation. To keep these engines running efficiently and to extend their lifespan, maintaining clean lubricating oil is essential. Contaminants in the oil can lead to increased wear, reduced efficiency, and costly repairs. The most effective way to ensure optimal oil cleanliness is through advanced filtration methods. In this blog, we explore the critical role of clean lube oil in diesel engines and how proper filtration can enhance performance, reduce maintenance costs, and prolong engine life.

A client upgraded an old FM600 centrifuge to the IOW MP600 centrifuge and observed a remarkable difference in performance. IOW Group’s range of centrifugal filters outperform any other centrifuge of its size on the market.

Reliability and efficiency are crucial in power generation operations. Diesel engines power backup generators and prime movers, but maintaining their performance requires effective filtration. Contaminants in lubrication oil and fuel cause wear, unplanned maintenance, and costly breakdowns.

Caterpillar (CAT) engines are known for their power, durability, and reliability. They are essential for heavy-duty equipment in multiple industries, such as maritime, construction, mining, trucking, and agriculture. For optimal engine performance, sufficient oil filtration is essential. The most efficient oil filtration for CAT engines is centrifugal oil filters. In this blog, we will delve into the crucial importance of these filters in maintaining the smooth operation of Caterpillar equipment.

Overview: MAN B&W 6L28/32HP on a RORO Vehicle Carrier A client undertook a trial period with our IOW MP400 Centrifuge , which was installed as a retrofit on a MAN B&W 6L28/32HP engine. The objective was to assess the performance differences and determine whether IOW Group's separation capabilities could enhance engine reliability and performance. Prior to the installation of IOW Group's MP400 , the engine had been in operation for over 67,000 hours, rendering it highly susceptible to wear and degradation. Consequently, it becomes imperative to remove as much harmful particulates as possible to prolong engine life, as well as extend primary filter life to minimize maintenance requirements.
