0.5%Sulphur Cap

Act now to start preparing your bunker tanks, followed by the Test and TreatTM programme to mitigate your risks.

Reach out to WSS today for more information on how we can help you comply to IMO 2020.

Heavy Oil and BlendsIf you are choosing to operate on HSFO (3.5% Sulphur) with scrubber or use 0.5% Sulphur VLSFO oils - stability, compatibility, and catalytic fines are the main concerns which you need to de-risk.

Distillate / Diesel OilIf you are choosing to operate on 0.5% Sulphur diesel oils (MDO/MGO) - bacteria, oxidation and lubricity are the main concerns which you need to plan to de-risk.

RegulationWith IMO 2020, a 0.5% sulphur cap will take effect and you’ll have to change your fuel to remain compliant.

Yet simply changing yourfuel might lead to higher costs than expected.

If the sludge and sediments are not removed, there are huge risks associated when mixing in new IMO 2020 compliant fuel in the same bunker tanks. Non-compliance

Sludge has high Sulphur content that may increase the overall Sulphur content above the IMO approved 0.5% Sulphur limit leading to non-compliant fuel and high costs of cleanup of tanks.

CompatibilityThe new IMO 2020 compliant fuel may not be compatible with the remaining sludge / fuel and may lead to more sludge due to incompatibility issues.

Clogged Filter and Fuel SystemLSFO contains more distillate oil than HSFO - this may dissolve the sludge and the sediments which will transfer to the fuel system.

Catalytic FinesSludge and sediments are high in catalytic fines which, when dissolved with LSFO, will find their way to the engines, risking high damage to propulsion and power generation engines.

Having to resolve these issues can increase your operational expenses in the long run, and could even leave you in a state of non-compliance.

Prepare for IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap with the Test and TreatTM programme

SludgeIn bunker tanks, sludge and sediments form over time and settle at the side and bottom of your vessel bunker tanks. This sludge needs to be removed.

Solution

Unitor™ FuelPower™ Conditioner

Wilhelmsen Ships Service provides you with the Unitor™ FuelPower™ Conditioner, our solution that stabilizes and prevents sludge formation while simultaneously cleaning the sides and bottom of the tank, reducing sludge and sediment deposits to a minimum, over a dosing period of 4 to 6 months.

• Self-dispersant properties make the sludge and sediments soluble back in the oil and keeps them in suspension through the oil

• Inhibits asphaltenes precipitating / sludge by keeping them stable in suspension

• Counteracts the effect of stratification thus inhibiting incompatibility issues with different fuels mixes

• Breaks down water and oil emulsion
