Minimize the impact of low-Sulfur fuel’s fluctuating properties
Today’s new fuels keep you compliant with the global sulfur cap, but their behavior in your fuel line is anything but certain. Whatever the specifications say, the actual properties of low-sulfur fuels can vary dramatically from bunker to bunker. To secure your engine’s uptime, your fuel line must be prepared for the challenging fluctuations in viscosity, density, temperature, and cat fines. Read about the issues to the right or explore below for Alfa Laval service solutions that maximize your engine’s protection.
