40MNAugust 2011PRODUCTSAXI: New Equipment &Engineering CatalogueALGAE-X International (AXI) announces their new cat- alogue of programmable auto- mated fuel filtration and tankcleaning systems, fuel condi-tioners, filters, fuel sampling and testing supplies, andaccessories. The catalogue showcases AXIs products which include STS Automated Filtration Systems; SMART FPS Fuel Polishing Systems; MTC Mobile Tank Cleaning Systems; LG-X In-Line Fuel Conditioners, and the AFC-705 Fuel Catalyst. AXIs Fuel Quality Optimization & Maintenance Systems solve the problems caused by diesel fuel instability and degradation. AXI pro- vides innovative high-quality equipment and engineering services to customers worldwide. www.AXIFuelConditing.com New Service Cart & DieselTransfer Pump Reverso Pumps introduced a 3- in-1 Diesel Fuel Service Cart, designed to remove water and bacterial growth from diesel fuel. Developed to polish diesel fuel in storage tanks as it is dispensed orafter it has been in the tank, thecompact, lightweight Cart can be operated one person, has maintenance alarms, clogged filter & water level shut- down features. The PIUSIBOX Diesel Transfer Pump transfers diesel fuel and prevents spillage and contamina- tion. The all-in-one, portable PIUSIBOX includes a 12V DC powered diesel pump (24V available), delivery/suc- tion hose, locking foot valve to prevent leakage.. www.reversopumps.com Separ Filter Equipment: Complies with ABS, SOLAS The steel construction diesel fuel/water separators from Separ Filter have been designed to com- ply with new American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requirements. Separ SWK 2000 series steel fil- ters (model SWK-2000/18shown) feature flow rates ranging from 79 to 2060 GPH (300-7800 LPH). www.separfilter.com New DNV Data Analytics Tool DNV Petroleum Services has released Fuel Insight, a new data analytics product for bunker fuel designed to provide real-time information on worldwide deliveries. Launched at Nor-Shipping 2011, Fuel Insight is a sub- scription-based web application developed to tap into the shipping industrys extensive DNVPS live bunker quali- ty database. Fuel Insight can distill complex data on fuel prices, *ISO 8217 quality parameters and regulatory com- pliance into accurate insights for supplier evaluation and purchase decision-making, helping ship charterers, opera- tors and owners optimize costs and reduce risks.? www.dnv.com Puradyns Oil Filtration System Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated has received certifi- cation for ISO 9001:2008, vali- dating its Quality Management Standards process. Puradyns oil- filtration system traps all kinds ofcontaminants ? solid, gaseous andliquid ? down to one micron in size. Greatly reducing the frequency of oil changes while maintaining proper viscosity, it continuously cleans lubri- cating oil and maintains viscosity to safely and signifi-cantly extend engine life. Used by three ferry services on New Yorks Long Island, PuraDYN® was selected for a US DoE in a three-year evaluation to research the per- formance, benefits and cost of bypass oil filtration tech- nology. www.puradyn.com RTE: SMART Sense for Oil Viscosity Rivertrace Engineering launched a Viscosity System that addresses operational concerns of ships switching between Heavy Fuels and Distillates. The SMART Sense Viscosity System is designed to monitor oil viscosity and tempera- ture to prevent engine wear and higher emissions attribut- able to feeding through fuel of the wrong viscosity. Global bunker fuel densities vary and relying upon temperature measurement alone will not guarantee that the oil inject- ed into the engine will achieve maximum combustion effi- ciency. SMART Sense features standard flanges for easy installation, and operates at a low frequency outside the ranges generated by engines and generators. www.rivertrace.com
