New engineBOLL marine filtration system gains market share

Using an abundant, if toxic, resource to power the maritime fleet.	A mature future fuel already in use - but will it become dominant?	Numerous NGOs protested against the IMO earlier this year putting biofuels in its Global Fuel Standard, but the “fuel versus food” debate seems to have been solved by deriving fuels from waste.	Technically the cleanest possible fuel source available to the maritime world and one that has the longest history, dating back to the 1950s. Why is it not in common, non-military use?	LNG is currently the most popular lower carbon fuel, but with bio and e-LNG it could move beyond its current transition fuel status supported by extensive existing infrastructure.

BOLL & KIRCH has announced that its newly developed engine filtration system has received more than 1,000 orders since its recent launch, gaining a strong position in orders for MAN Energy Solutions’ ME-type engines.

The new engineBoll® 6.49 automatic filtration system features two chambers with two backflushing mechanisms to ensure redundancy. This guarantees continuous cleaning of the servo oil and ensures zero-loss operation in the oil circulation system, as the second filter chamber can take over the filtration process completely in the event of a malfunction in one of these filter chambers.
