The company says that it is a single solution for automatic flow control, with the ability to steer multiple separator feeds simultaneously. By matching the flow of fuel to the engine’s needs, it increases retention time in the separator bowl, giving the separators the optimum conditions for doing their job.
To increase the effectiveness of centrifugal separation, which remains the best defence against cat fine attacks, FlowSync takes fuller advantage of slow steaming. Most vessels use fixed-speed feed pumps and so experience a large overflow of separated fuel when slow steaming.
When FlowSync is used, the fixed-speed pumps are replaced with variable-speed pumps. These are steered automatically by FlowSync, which matches their throughput to the engine load with an ample margin of safety.
