Your engine needs protection and with the 2020 Global Sulphur Cap regualtions coming into play, filtration is the last line of defence against harmful particles. The Alfa Laval Moatti filter is easy to operate and it's very easy to maintain. Continuous backflushing is driven by the pressure of the oil itself. This means no electricity or air supply is needed. Because backflushing is performed in the automatic filter stage, with a cleanable surface-filter cartridge used to provide redundancy, reliance on disposable filters is eliminated.

We have a new challenge coming up in 2020 with the new regulation. But I have something important to tell you. It's about the last part of the Alfa Laval Fuel Line, the last line of defense before the fuel goes into the engine: The Alfa Laval Moatti filter. The filter is very important to protect the engine against the harmful particles. With the new regulation ongoing means some different kind of marine fuels. We know that we will have some more catfines in the fuel, so it is really important that the harmful particles will be taken out in time. Also the engine manufacturers, and CIMAC, are prescribing that it should be a selfcleaning, automatic filter, mounted on the "hot side", with at least 10 micron filtration inside. It's really important to bring it on the "hot side", as close to the engine as possible. The closer you are to the engine, the better the protection is. The Alfa Laval Moatti filter is unique for its continous backflushing. We do not use any external power. We are using the clean oil, the already cleaned oil, to backflush, to clean the filtering elements. The backflush is going directly afterwards into the diversion chamber. The diversion chamber is making another cleaning, and that's why we can send the backflush directly into the tank again. It's a patented design. The total cost of ownership is another important point to buy an Alfa Laval Moatti filter. Service interval is very long, The injection nozzles, within the engine, can last up to 20 times longer, as measured by the engine manufacturers. And, we are using very strong filtering elements, with a very long lifetime. The Alfa Laval Moatti filter is easy to operate, and it's very easy to maintain. The filtering elements are user-friendly, and are very easy to clean. Even after cleaning you can see if it's clean, yes or no, by putting it against the light. Alfa Laval Moatti will continue to develop finer filtration. We don't know exactly what the future will bring, but we will be there as a partner, and we will make sure that filtration will protect your engine in the best way!
