Homogenizer System 
Optimize your combustion 

General 
With fuel oil often accounting for more than 40% of a vessels operation costs, efficient combustion is of crucial importance. Furthermore, fuel oil quality can have serious long term implications for engine wear and it’s associated costs.

The Homogenizer has been specifically designed to solve the uniformity problems ship owners and operators face when running on heavy fuel oil. There is no better chemical-free approach for best treatment of heavy fuel oil, water-in-fuel-emulsion and sludge.

More information

The equipment incorporates a hermetically sealed magnetic coupling drive and special hard material combination, suitable for very high pressure and temperature applications.

Operational Principle
The Homogenizer operates on the principles of mechanical shearing and ultrasonic forces. It utilises a special conical shaped milling gear, to generate high hydrodynamic power consisting of shearing, friction and acceleration forces with pressure waves of high frequency. The high molecular asphaltenes, the existing cat-fines, remaining water etc. are homogenized into heavy fuel oil with maximum particle size of 5 µm.

Main Features

• Reduction of fuel oil sludge
• Increased burnable fuel amount with improved fuel efficiency
• Improved combustion quality and reduced exhaust emissions
• Reduced wear on engine components and reduced operational costs

DIESELSWITCH MKII
​The purpose of the DIESELSWITCH MKII is to change over from high sulphur fuel to low sulphur fuel in a safe and automatic manner, and optionally to adjust blend fuel according to the permitted sulphur content in the relevant Emission Control Area (ECA).

Prior to a controlled change over or blending process, the Dieselswitch MKII automatically carries out digital data storage and optional print out of all relevant parameters in combination with an Approved Fuel Change Over Record Book. Both items should be used to prove that the correct fuel oil is in use before entering a particular ECA.

Main features of the JOWA DIESELSWITCH MKII:

• Controlled operation below maximum permissible temperature gradient
• Check of minimum permissible fuel viscosity
• Compatibility check between fuel oils prior to any operation
• Economic benefits when operating on blend fuel in SECAs
• No risk of incidents where frequent change over is necessary due to the vessel's trading route

Due to its simple and universal design the DIESELSWITCH MKII is easy to install. We supply our JOWA DIESELSWITCH MKII as a “TURNKEY PRODUCT”.
