Which heavy fuel purifier belongs on your boat?

Here's some helpful advice about getting the most from your investment in a heavy fuel engine.

Let's say you've decided to switch to lower cost, heavier fuel.

Now what? A.F.T. module

After selecting your engine, you have another key decision to make.

Your fuel treatment system.

Which means you should talk to the people at Alfa-Laval. Because from now on, you'll need to purify fuel, on board, with a centrifugal purifier.

Not the manual-cleaned centrifuge you're already familiar with. But an Alfa-Laval self- cleaning unit. The purifier choices:

If you need a small heavy fuel purifier with a capacity of up to 320 gph, at 600 SRI, the Alfa-Laval

MAPX 204 is your best choice.

This unit, as with all self-cleaning centrifuges, automatically ejects sludge every few minutes. There's no need for frequent clean-up.

If you need a larger capacity purifier the MOPX 205 could ; be the answer. It handles throughputs of up to 575 gph, at 600 SRI.

If you simply want one of the finest purifiers ever made, you'll order an Alfa-Laval WHPX controlled discharge purifier. Unlike conven- tional self-cleaning models, which allow up to two gallons of fuel to escape with every ejection of sludge, the

WHPX eliminates losses of fuel.

Result: you can save thousands of dollars each year on fuel and haulage costs. WHPX 505 capacities range to 660 gph, at 600 SRI.

A final important point. Each purifier above can be incorporated into an A.F.T. (Alfa-Laval Fuel

Treatment) module, ready for instal- lation. The units are pre-piped and pre-wired, and contain the fol- lowing components: sludge tank, pumps, controls and complete alarm protection.
