NEW ALCAP SYSTEM

SAVES $2 TO $5

PERTONOFFUEL.

Until now, if you wanted to burn low cost, high density (1010 kg/m') fuels in your diesel engines you were out of luck.

Because the separator on your vessel could only handle fuels with densities up to 991 kg/m.1

The only system that can separate fuels with a density greater than 1.

Introducing the ALCAP system: the only fuel oil separa- tion system specifically designed and proven to clean fuel with densities as high as 1010 kg/m'1 at 15°C. An ALCAP system will give you the choice of burning low cost, heavy fuels.

And it will allow you to save between $2 and $5 per ton of fuel. 990 TO 1010

WITHOUT

ADJUSTMENTS.

The ALCAP system has a new model FOPX separator that works without gravity discs.

You don't need to change discs to accommodate variances in density, viscosity, temperature and flow rate. A single, per- manent flow-control disc does the job.

The innovative ALCAP design gives you continuous, trouble-free operation and opti- mum separation, no matter what grade of heavy fuel oil you're burning.

RETROFIT YOUR

SEPARATOR AND SAVE.

If your present separator is an Alfa-LavafWHPX model, we can convert it to an ALCAP system and save you money.

The system is available in stan- dard modules, pre-assembled, pre-wired, and ready to install.

So you benefit from Alfa-Laval's design expertise, as well as our worldwide service. ALCAP systems are fully tested and are already saving money on board ocean-going vessels.
