Separators for marine residual fuel - Performance testing using specific test oil

Scope

This CEN Workshop Agreement is applicable to marine residual fuel separators. The procedure defines a performance parameter, Certified Flow Rate (CFR), at equivalent fuel oil viscosities of 380 mm2/s and 700 mm2/s at 50 °C, using specific test oil under specific test conditions. The performance parameter (CFR), derived in accordance with this procedure may be used to compare separation performance of commercially available machines intended for marine application. However, it cannot be assumed that the same separation performance would be obtained on real catalyst fines in real heavy fuel oil.
