Product page on Auramarine's site

Description

Auramarine biofuel supply systems are marine fuel supply solutions designed and tested for the properties of biofuels, which can be more corrosive and reactive than conventional fuels and can show different filtration behaviour, coagulation risk, material compatibility issues and changing viscosity and heating needs. Auramarine has been developing biofuel supply solutions since the early 2010s.

Key features

  • Acid-resistant and acid-proof material selections
  • Capillary-transmitted pressure gauges, switches and transducers
  • Surface temperature control
  • Enhanced initial heating
  • Preheating for backup fuel
  • Automatic filters

References

  • M/V Meri (Meriaura): fuel supply unit for three 1200 kW main engines
  • Partnership with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland on bio- and waste-based oils
