About this document

Filter Blocking Tendency in Bunker Fuels by INTERSEA Marine Surveys is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper presents a method for determining the Filter Blocking Tendency Number (FBTN) of residual bunker fuels, which is crucial for preventing filter blockages in marine engines. The proposed test requires only 300 mL of fuel and correlates lab results with real-life filter blocking issues experienced by ships. The findings emphasize the importance of effective operational procedures and maintenance to mitigate filter blocking problems and enhance safety at sea.
