PureDry recovers more than 150 tons of fuel oil onboard Silja Symphony
6/27/2012
In November 2010, the Baltic ferry MS Silja Symphony installed PureDry, a new high-speed separator from Alfa Laval with the capability to recover re-usable fuel from waste fuel oil. Symphony's Chief Engineer Mats Göras relates that since commissioning, the PureDry unit has recovered more than 150 m3 of oil, which has been returned to the bunker tanks for re-use. "With bunker oil at today's prices, this has meant a significant reduction in fuel costs for us," says Göras, "we have also cut our costs for landing waste oil."
MS Silja Symphony is a 58,377 grt cruise ferry, delivered in 1991 and owned by the Tallink Group. The ship is equipped with four Wärtsilä-Vasa 9R46 diesel engines for propulsion, rated at 32.5 MW, and auxiliary engines rated at 7.3 MW. In service on the Helsinki-Stockholm route, Silja Symphony consumes some 50 tons of fuel oil every 24 hours, sailing approximately 50% of the time.
The PureDry high-speed separator was installed onboard in November 2010 and went into full operation in January 2011. Waste fuel oil from settling and day tank bottom drains, fuel oil filters, fuel oil separators and the diesel engines is separated from other waste oils and collected in a dedicated waste fuel oil tank. PureDry recovers the fuel oil fraction from the waste fuel oil and returns it to the fuel oil bunker tank.
Significant savings
Chief Engineer Mats Göras is clearly impressed by PureDry's performance. "We produce roughly 8 m3 of waste fuel oil every 6 days. Since the PureDry was commissioned we have recovered more than 150 m3 of re-usable fuel oil and saved a significant amount on the ship's fuel bill.
To be sure that the recovered oil was within bunkering limits, we sent samples to DNVPS for analysis and they confirmed that it was suitable for use."
The PureDry process reduces the volume of waste fuel oil by 99%, producing 13-15 kg of "super-dry" solids every 24 hours. Mats Göras: "We land these solids as dry waste, along with oily rags, used filter cartridges, etc. It's not a problem as they don't require any new special means for disposal."
With PureDry there are no oil losses and no additional wastes are generated. The separated water, with an oil content of less than 1,000 ppm, is pumped to the bilge water system.
Savings on waste oil disposal
Mats Göras points out that, in addition to cutting the fuel bill, Silja Symphony has achieved significant savings on waste oil disposal. "We pay 7.5 EUR/ton to land waste oil in Helsinki, regardless of the mix of oil and water. PureDry has reduced the amount of waste oil landed by about 450 m3 per year."
Locating the PureDry onboard was no problem - it replaced an Alfa Laval MSPX sludge treatment system that treated all oily waste streams. Mats Göras likes the simplicity of the PureDry concept. "The MSPX required much more attention from the crew."
He sums up by saying that PureDry really benefits his operating budget. "We save money on fuel and on waste oil disposal, and very few man hours are required to keep the unit operating. This is the way we would like to see oil separators designed in the future."
Paradigm shift in separator design
According to Alfa Laval, the new PureDry generation represents a paradigm shift in high speed disc stack separator solids discharge design. There is no aperture in the bowl and no sensitive hydraulic system installed to actuate solids discharge.
A patented, spiral-shaped device called the XCavator transports the super-dry solids to the base of the machine where they exit into a container below the machine. There are just two main moving/rotating parts - the separator insert including the XCavator, and the outer bowl shell.
Simple maintenance
PureDry is supplied with an Exchange Kit, which includes a new separator insert (rotor and disc stack), a new XCavator, and a Consumables Kit. After one year, the crew replaces the separator insert as simply as replacing the cartridge in a filter, and the XCavator. The used parts are returned to the nearest Alfa Laval Service Center, and the ship orders new exchange and consumption kits.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
