Remove oil mist from crankcase ventilation gas

Reducing emissions is a critical issue for owners and operators of ships and power plants. The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter helps to protect the environment. It removes more than 99% of the oil mist from the crankcase ventilation gas – and thus also keeps the oil mist from escaping to the environment.

The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter also removes mist caused by microscopic oil droplets, reducing the risk of fire and slippery surfaces, for example on the ship decks.

The filter also helps ensure compliance with regulations that aim to reduce emissions.

Who is it for?

The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter is ideal for cruise vessels, ferries and power plants where the aim is to reduce harmful airborne emissions including oil mist.

The filter is suitable for all Wärtsilä diesel and dual-fuel engines. The ATEX-certified version of the filter is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Three powerful benefits

The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter gives you three powerful benefits.

Protects the environment and people

The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter removes more than 99% of the oil mist from the engine’s crankcase ventilation gas – and thus also keeps the oil mist from escaping to the environment. The filter also removes mist caused by microscopic oil droplets (0.1–2 µm), reducing the risk of fire and slippery surfaces, for example on the ship decks. 

The filter also helps ensure compliance with regulations that aim to reduce emissions. Even more, the filter enables emissions to be brought below the limits set by TA Luft (Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft), a German air pollution control regulation, helping to ensure compliance with future, stricter regulations.

Thanks to its ATEX certified version, the filter is safe to use in explosion-prone areas.

 

Improves reliability

The Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter protects your sensitive engine components against contamination. This helps keep your engine in peak condition and improves its reliability.

The filter is approved by several international standards organisations including ISO 9001:2015, which help ensure that the product is safe, reliable and of good quality.

 

Saves money

Thanks to Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter, you can optimise your engine’s crankcase pressure to ensure it remains at a safe and stable level – even under variable operational conditions. Keeping the pressure loss low helps to reduce power consumption and therefore operating costs.

Because the filter protects sensitive components against contamination, you can safely extend component maintenance intervals. This can bring you further savings.

How does the Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filter work?

Wärtsilä Oil mist separating filters are installed in the engine crankcase ventilation line. They filter out more than 99% of the oil mist that the combustion engine emits. Collected and filtered oil is returned to the engine.

You can choose a model with a control unit to control the pressure inside the engine crankcase. Maintaining the correct engine crankcase pressure is vital for safe and reliable engine operation.

The filter has a robust design with no moving parts or electrical components, which makes maintenance simple. The only wear parts are the filter cartridges and gaskets.
