DNV Petroleum Services (DNVPS) has unveiled its new advanced catalyst fine particle size distribution screening service as a complement to its Fuel System Check programme.

The new service provides a particle-size-and-quantity profile of catalyst fines in the fuel – before and after the separators.

The resulting data is said to paint a more accurate picture of the efficiency at which the fuel treatment plant is operating onboard the ship or at the power plant.

By coupling the new Catalyst Fine Particle Size Distribution Screening with DNVPS’ existing Fuel System Check programme, claimed DNVPS managing director Tore Morten Wetterhus, information on catalyst fine particle size and quantity will help the ship crew make more precise adjustments to improve the fuel treatment plant’s performance.
