Fuel Management System Reduces Fuel Costs
JOWA Technology has developed a fuel management system based on its Diesel Switch DSMK II. It is claimed the world’s first fully-automated switch over and blending system with a GL approval certificate. The system mixes HFO and low-sulphur MDO/MGO to the precisely correct sulphur content for traffic in Emission Control Areas (ECAs). The result is significantly lower fuel costs and increased operational reliability.
The fully automated JOWA Technology Fuel Management System consists of an advanced diesel switch with sensors and intelligent computer control. The system is so advanced that it both changes fuels during the voyage without any interruption to operations as well as mixes HFO and low-sulphur fuel in the correct ratios. This allows the sulphur content of the fuel to be precisely in accordance with the requirements for the respective ECAs. The JOWA Homogenizer and JOWA Cooler can be included in the fuel management system in order to get a complete interacting system.
Accurate Documentation
In all ECAs there are also strict requirements in regard to documentation of fuels and their use. This information is routinely checked in port. JOWA Diesel Switch DSMK II thus also has an integral documentation system, which logs all information about operation, fuel and times in accordance with official requirements. The information can be presented and delivered as a printout or on data media, and may also be viewed on screen.
Turnkey System
JOWA Diesel Switch DSMK II is available in five different sizes, covering all fuel systems. The system installs in an existing fuel system, retrofit, with a minimum of pipes needing to be run. The installation process is very easy and simple, regardless of whether it involves the construction of a new vessel or is installed later.
