Purifier Efficiency Evaluation (PEE) – Protecting Your Engine from Contaminants

Ensuring Optimal Fuel Purification for Engine Longevity

A vessel’s fuel purification system is its first and last line of defense against abrasive contaminants and excessive water levels. Without proper purification, catfines (Al+Si) and water in fuel can cause severe wear, fuel injector damage, and costly engine failures.

Older vessels and aging purification systems are particularly vulnerable to efficiency loss, increasing the risk of contaminants passing through to the engine. Since there is no onboard method to directly measure catfine reduction, regular testing of purifier performance is critical to preventing long-term damage.

Why Purifier Efficiency Evaluation (PEE) is Essential

✔ Reduces the risk of catastrophic engine damage by verifying effective removal of catfines and water.
✔ Ensures compliance with industry standards, including ISO 8217:2024 fuel specifications.
✔ Optimizes purifier performance for both new and aging vessels.
✔ Helps shipowners detect and address declining purifier efficiency before it leads to costly breakdowns.

💡 Even with compliant fuel, inefficient purification can leave engines exposed to damage. Regular evaluation ensures that your system is performing as designed.

How It Works – Simple, Fast & Reliable

1️⃣ Take PEE samples from the designated sample points on your vessel’s fuel purification system.
2️⃣ Send the samples to our ISO/IEC 17025:2017-certified laboratory.
3️⃣ Receive a detailed evaluation report within 10 hours of sample receipt.

Our comprehensive analysis will determine how effectively your purifier removes contaminants, providing actionable insights to improve fuel system performance.

🚢 Ensure your fuel purification system is protecting your engine – before it’s too late.
