Sustainable shipbuilding with HYDAC oil filtration
The better alternative: lubrication oil filters instead of separator technology
Separators are often the standard for conditioning lubrication oils in ships. But the high energy requirements and the separated lubrication oil (sludge) have an impact on the environment. We have a better solution: HYDAC Simplex filters. Switch off your lubrication oil separators and save precious fuel. All that's needed is a simple retrofit.
Conditioning lubrication oil saves you several tonnes of CO₂ and NOₓ per yearAnd the Simplex filter pays for itself in just six months
When it comes to decarbonisation, shipbuilding is in need of sustainable solutions. We see great potential for savings in oil filtration – in our case study, we calculate the expected costs and CO2 and NOx savings involved in a retrofit. We also calculate the ROI, so that you know exactly how many months it will take for the investment in our Simplex filters to pay off.

Why you save more CO₂ with Simplex filters compared to separators
It's very common to condition lubrication oil in ships with separators. But this has many disadvantages - high acquisition costs, high maintenance costs and an immense loss of oil, which has an unnecessary impact on the environment. With HYDAC's lubrication oil filters, this is a thing of the past as a retrofit pays for itself in just a few months. You are also able to reduce your Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).

Jörn Kaiser, Product Manager for Marine Fluids – HYDAC Process Technology
Our lubrication oil filters have received a “No Objection Letter” (NOL) from MAN Energy Solutions – the test showed that we don't just achieve a higher lubrication oil quality with our Simplex filters compared to classic separator technology. We also make conditioning lubrication oil more simple. At the same time, our customers are able to make enormous savings – a win-win situation.

Your advantages with HYDAC's lubrication oil filters
CO2 savings & payback period
The lubrication oil filters pay for themselves in just a few months. In practice, our customers start to profit from the purchase in less than 5 months. You also save up to 35 t CO2 per year.
Increased system performance
With a separation rate of 99.5%, particles ≥ 10 µm are reliably removed. This leads to a high level of cleanliness, resulting in safe processes.
100 % electricity savings
No power supply is required to operate the filters. Separators require an average of 10-15 kW/h depending on the ship type.
Spare parts reduced to a minimum
The simple design and easy replacement of the filter elements make our lubrication oil filters especially easy to maintain.
