Sažetak
Highly abrasive catalytic impurities in marine fuel must be reduced to the value recommended by reputable engine manufacturers in order to avoid damage and engine failure. These abrasive particles found in marine fuel do not necessarily cause an immediately problem to the engine. They can settle and accumulate on the bottom of the ship´s tanks, so that in bad weather conditions (ship rolling) they appear in the fuel system. If the purifier is not able to eliminate such small impurities, they reach the main engine as small but solid particles, causing damage mainly to the piston rings, cylinder liner, but also the injectors and fuel pumps. The recommended methods imply the need for proper settling down and regular drainage from the tanks, adequate filtration, provided the proper operation and adjustment of the fuel purifier. The quality of purifier operation varies over years because it is affected by a large number of factors, regardless of the assumption that it is regularly and properly maintained. This paper will use data from a tanker ship powered by an electronically controlled engine. In developing a model for better fuel purification, the focus will be on optimizing the operation of the fuel separator as the most efficient element during purification. The purpose of the recommended automation will be to eliminate the “human factor” in order to provide a better simulation of the process.
