Efficient and sustainable filtration on MV “Rem Inspector”

Efficient and sustainable filtration on MV “Rem Inspector”

MV-Rem-InspectorOn MV Rem Inspector, four GreenOil filtration systems ensure efficient cleaning of lubricating oil with minimal maintenance. With only one annual filter element replacement and documented improved oil samples, the crew is very satisfied with the results. Through Ditech’s customer portal, the vessel has full filter control, ensuring a reliable operational solution.

Filtration and operational reliability on MV “Rem Inspector” – with GreenOil Standard and Ditech

In 2021, four GreenOil Standard WP1-P2-1000 filtration systems were installed on board MV “Rem Inspector”. Each of these oil filtration systems has a capacity of 1000 liters per hour, and they are connected to the ship’s Wärtsilä 6L32 engines and ensure continuous and efficient cleaning of the lubricating oil.

The feedback from the crew was very good. The systems are user-friendly, reliable – and not least maintenance-friendly. The filter elements are only changed once a year, which reduces both workload and operating costs. The chief engineer also reports noticeably improved oil samples after installation, proving that the filtration is working as promised.

The GreenOil filter system keeps the oil clean and provides stable operating conditions. It significantly reduces energy consumption compared to separators, provides better economy and is a sustainable alternative that reduces both waste and environmental impact.

Mistral Dives Into the GreenOil Principles

Mistral Dives Into the GreenOil Principles

The inner workings of a GreenOil offline oil filtration system is not known to all, but in order to provide the best service for our customers around the world, it is important to us, that our agents know exactly how our systems work. This gives them the skills and know how to deliver support locally and find the best solution for each vessel in their portfolio.

Our Italian and Suisse agent, Mistral Marine Solutions are known for exactly that – finding the best solution for their customers needs. So last week they took the trip to Denmark to train some of their staff in the GreenOil principles to provide better service in their region.

It was hands on from the get go as they combined the theoretical knowledge on offline oil filtration and why it is the preferred filtration method onboard a vessel, with working on systems in the GreenOil prodution. They were taken through the process of assembeling a system with our skilled production crew, discussing the different steps along the way to make sure that no questions were left unanswered.

The needs and requirements for vessels today are constantly evolving, and to stay on top of the offline filtration technology is vital to us. So we happily take every chance we get to talk  about oil filtration and share knowledge with our partners around the world. This is how we grow together and are able to give our customers an even better experience when choosing a GreenOil offline oil filtration system as the solution to their filtration needs.

DFDS Takes Action to Reduce Their Environmental Footprint

DFDS Takes Action to Reduce Their Environmental Footprint

It has almost been a year since the largest RoPax ferry, the first of two, in the DFDS fleet was on her way to Europe from GSI (Guangzhou Shipyard), and with that marked a completion of a great partnership between DFDS and GreenOil Standard.

DFDS have an ambitious ESG strategy, that includes taking actions to care for their employees, the oceans, the industry, and local communities. When building new vessels, they aim to reduce the CO2 emissions, create secure workspace, and use suppliers with greener profiles. In order to complete these ambitious goals, DFDS amongst others looked to a new method of filtrating the oil onboard. Once tested a satisfied crew saw the benefits of the system’s size, effortless maintenance, a more sustainable filtration material and the positive effects of keeping the oil clean for the equipment onboard, thereby prolonging their lifespan.

Simontanusly at Jinling Shipyard in China DFDS had commisioned six RoRo vessels, each being 237,4 meters long, they are classified as mega vessels. Onboard each ship 8 GreenOil systems are installed filtrating various oil types.

Clean oil is key in order to prolong the oil and components lifetime. Without clean oil, wear and tear on the machinery becomes increasingly worse over time, resulting in break downs, broken machinery and eventually delays. Keeping the oil on board clean, is therefore a priority for DFDS as they know the value of reduced downtime that comes when using GreenOil.

DFDS are actively addressing their environmental footprint. They have acted on several initiatives to become more sustainable, and we are proud suppliers to be a small part of this grand initiative.

GreenOil retrofit solution result in a full scope of new green hybrid pelagic trawler “Gitte Henning 2”

GreenOil retrofit solution result in a full scope of new green hybrid pelagic trawler “Gitte Henning 2”

The pelagic trawler “S349 Gitte” of Gitte Henning ApS has done the retrofit solution with the GreenOil for the whole vessel.

The owner, Henning Kjeldsen has decided to take care of the environment and go green with the offline filters produced of sheep wool from GreenOil Standard.

S349 Gitte is equipped with 2 x WP1-P2-750 GreenOil units to clean the lubrication oil for the main engines instead of the tradition centrifugal separators.

Further the vessel is equipped with a WP1-C1-1000 for cleaning the diesel oil for the entire vessel.

Last and least the GreenOil WP2-H4-100 has been installed for the hydraulic oil to the fishing pump. The WP2 model has combined particles filtration and its own water separation system.

Replacing the Separator Reduced Sludge and Maintenance for Østensjø

Replacing the Separator Reduced Sludge and Maintenance for Østensjø

Edda Ferd_Østensjø_1

For decades, Østensjø has been the epitome of efficiency at sea through innovation and experience, securing safety for personnel accessing Wind Turbine Generators. For them performance to rely on is an absolute must.

In 2021 the separators which once cleaned the lubricating oil and fuel onboard, was replaced with GreenOil systems, thus, continuing their innovative approach to the marine industry.

The experience using GreenOil offline oil filtration systems have exclusively been positive according to the crew. There was an assumption, that the filters had to be replaced often, but to their great delight they found that the opposite was the case as there was no need to replace the filter as often as they thought.

“We haven’t even changed a filtercannister on lubrication oil since the installation, so we still have 16 in stock. I see in the manual that a yearly replacement is recommended based on the expected lifetime, but the filters can easily be used longer, as long at the back-pressure is not too high “

Chief, Edda Ferd (translated)

They installed the systems without any challenges, and since then they have seen a reduction in the amount of sludge produced onboard and the cost often associated with service and maintenance have disappeared.

“Our saving is that we are not constantly carrying out service of the separators and that GreenOil does not produce any sludge.”

Cheif, Edda Ferd (translated)

Along with our local partner Ditech, Østensjø found the best solution for their vessels. Where they saw improvements, and once again proved that a retrofit of an off-line oil filtration system, gives great improvements for crew and company when comparing to existing separators.

Ship of the year 2023

Ship of the year 2023

ECOFIVE was named Ship of the Year 2023 at Nor-Shipping. It is the first time in history that a fishing vessel has won this award, but due to the groundbreaking techonolgy and new approaches onboard the fishing vessel, it is an eco-friendly fishing vessel aiding in making the industry a greener. It has been said that the project is one of the most interesting things to happen in the industry in the last 30 years, and we are proud to be amongst the companies suppling the innovative technology making this happen. Luckily the project can be easily transferred to other newbuild fishing vessels

Reduced Emissions

Onboard is a hybrid propulsion system, with a battery system that has the capacity of 1,130 kWh, additionally several measures have been taken for the vessel to be more energy effecient. Adding this up ECOFIVE reduces its fuel consumption and emissions at least 25%, and for some operations up to 40%, compared to other modern trawlers on the water. The single most energy effecient area onboard it the twin propulsion systen, which has rudder nozzles fitted, the energy consumption is reduced by 15% by this feature alone. The designers and shipyard has also focused on comprehensive heat recovery and electrical winches amongst others.

Technology

The technology is spectacular, the ship owner and desingers have merged the technology found in fish carriers and land-based facilities into a design perfectly fitted the onboard production. The challenge is, that the technology needs to take care of the catch from the moment the net is set and till the finished production. They have specifically focused on:

  • Gentle trawling and boarding where the live catch will flow in below the waterline
  • Live storage of the catch in waterfilled tanks at the reception system
  • Processing of multiple products
  • Even factory exploitation
  • Frosen down to -35 degrees using CO2 as a refrigerant
  • All residual raw material is recovered for use
  • You can se more about ECOFIVE at the shipbuilder and designers websites.

Systems delivered by Greenoil

At Greenoil, we are proud to contribute to the groundbreaking ECOFIVE project by delivering innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in the fishing industry.
