Fuel Oil Purifier System
Starting Fuel Oil Purifiers
1. Check Oil Level

• Check the level of the oil in the purifier gear case
• If the oil is low level (add until normal)
2. Ensure Break is in Release Position

• provided near the gear at the bottom of the purifier
• release position
• If not released, the purifier will not reach its required speed
3. Inlet and Outlet Valves

• Ensure that both inlet and outlet valves of the purifier are in an open
position
• If the discharge valve is not open, the purifier will overflow resulting in
oil on the sludge side
• If the suction valve is not open, the purifier will not get the necessary oil
supply.
4. Open the Tank Valves

• Check the valves of the specific tank (service or settling)
• If the tank valve is not open, the backpressure in the line will increase
leading to overflowing of the purifier.
5. Level of Operating Water

• Check the water level (add if necessary)
• If the operating water is not sufficient, the purifier will alarm
6. Check Feed Pump

• Running properly, along with oil pressure and temperature
• Oil temperature is enough to ensure the smooth running of the gear pump
• Low temperature.
7. Heater Valves
• fuel oil valves to the steam heater are opened
(If the steam is opened first, the tubes can get damaged, leading to the ingress of water
in the oil)
8. Increase the temperature

• Proper temperature of the fuel oil
• Provided with a pre-set minimum temperature limit.
• Low temperature.
9. Check for any abnormal sound or vibration

• Feel by hand
• Rod or screw driver
• 10. Check Solenoid Valves

• checking the lights
• If not working properly, the purifier will also stop operating
