Introduction
In general, diesel engines for propulsion of ships burn marine residual fuels. Marine residual fuels contain
the residue remaining after lighter fractions have been extracted from the crude oil during various
processes in the oil refinery. They are a blend of this heavy fraction to which other refinery stream
products are added to obtain the desired viscosity grade. Marine residual fuel oils contain elements
inherent to the product itself but they also contain some contaminants, which either are due to an
external contamination or enter into the fuel at the refinery during production, such as catalyst fines
which are small fragments of a catalyst, used in the catalytic cracking stage in order to cut long molecule
chains into smaller molecule chains. The catalyst fines are extremely hard and abrasive, and, if not
removed from marine residual fuel, can damage diesel engines with severe economic and, in extreme
cases, safety consequences. The normal way of removing catalyst fines and other contaminants from
marine residual fuel is by centrifugal separation.
It is important that all fuels are centrifuged efficiently to minimize the level of contaminants, including
catalyst fines.
In bunkered oil the maximum content of catalyst fines, expressed as the total content of Aluminium and
Silicon, is 60 mg/kg according to ISO 8217. Engine builders expect the level of catalyst fines to be reduced
to below 10 mg/kg, only reaching to 15 mg/kg for short amounts of time in the fuel entering the engine.
As the level of catalyst fines in the bunkered fuel is lowered, the engine builders expect a related reduction
in the amount of catalyst fines in the fuel entering the engine.
For many years there has been a demand from engine builders, ship builders, ship owners and
classification societies for reliable performance criteria for the centrifuges’ ability to remove abrasive
particles from marine residual fuels. The purpose of this document is to meet this demand by specifying
a repeatable method to determine separation performance with specific test particles in specific test oil.

NOTE PAO 6 is a polyalphaoleofin oil used as a base for synthetic lubricating oils.

4.2 Test media
4.2.1 Test oil specification
The test oil shall be an automotive lube oil of type PAO 6.
NOTE PAO 6 is a polyalphaoleofin oil used as a base for synthetic lubricating oils.
4.2.2 Test oil kinematic viscosity
The kinematic viscosity of the test oil shall be measured according to EN ISO 3104. The kinematic
viscosity shall be expressed as:
A
10 / T
υ = 10 + C (2)
where
2
υ the kinematic viscosity in mm /s;
T is the temperature in Kelvin (K);
A, B and C are constants related to the actual test oil.
The formula shall be used with three accurately measured values of temperature and corresponding
viscosities for finding A, B and C. The chosen temperatures should for practical reasons be one at each
end of a measuring range of about 20 °C to 60 °C, and one in between. The formula shall then be used
again for determining the two correct temperatures for the desired viscosities (see 5.1) for the tests. The

viscosity shall be measured after adding the dispersant in 4.2.4. The calibration certificates of both
viscosity and temperature meter shall be added to the final report.
4.2.3 Test oil density
The test oil density shall be measured according to EN ISO 3838 or EN ISO 3675 or EN ISO 12185 at the
two temperatures at which tests are to be made, taking into account appropriate corrections. The choice
of which document to be used shall be based on the equipment used by the laboratory that executes the
test.
4.2.4 Test oil dispersing additive
To achieve the dispersing properties of the test medium, a minimum amount of an appropriate dispersing
additive of borated bis-succinimide type can be added to the PAO 6 type oil base. No more additive than
what is necessary to disperse the particles shall be added (suggested addition is 0,3 % by weight). The
density and the viscosity of the test medium in tank T01, see Figure 1, shall be measured after the
dispersing additive has been added.
4.2.5 Test particle specification
To simulate catalytic fines and other fuel contaminants, monodispersed plastic 5 µm particles (spheres)
with a composition of 45 % polystyrene and 55 % divinylbenzene shall be used. The density of the
3
spheres shall be (1 050 ± 10,5) kg/cm . The size variation shall not be more than ± 2,5 %, equal
to ± 0,125 µm. The actual density and size of the particles shall be measured. If the size deviates from the
nominal 5,00 µm but is within the accepted limit 5,00 µm ± 0,125 µm, a correction for the deviation shall
be made as described in 6.3.

in 6.3.
