Drew Marine, MAN B&W Launch Redesigned Fuel Mill

The Drew Marine Division of Ashland Specialty Chemical Co. and MAN B&W Diesel AG have launched production of redesigned Fuel Mill dynamic homogenizers through a new working relationship between the companies.

Under the manufacturing agreement, MAN B&W will produce all of the homogenizers that Drew Marine provides to shipowners worldwide for the full range of proven fuel-homogenization applications. In addition, MAN B&W is integrating Fuel Mill units into its Fuel-Water Emulsification module.

Drew Marine's homogenizer is a milling machine equipped with concentric, cone-shaped gears with toothed surfaces that grind heavy fuel oil as it is pumped through the handling system. Drew Marine supports the homogenizer through a unique program of comprehensive fuel management designed for optimizing the treatment of problem fuels. An independent testing laboratory in Taiwan has documented the performance of the Fuel Mill dynamic homogenizer.

The research showed significant improvement in the homogeneity and viscosity of heavy fuel oil following homogenization.
