A motor vessel has three centrifuges to pre-treat the fuel which can be configured to operate in series, parallel, and series-parallel. A large quantity of water is determined to be present in the fuel. How would you configure the centrifuges to deal with this problem?
• Purifier vs clarifier operation in fuel centrifuges (what each one removes best) • Effect of series vs parallel centrifuge arrangements on overall separation efficiency and flow rate • How to handle large quantities of water in fuel systems before it reaches service tanks and engines
• Which centrifuge mode is best at removing free water from fuel: purifier or clarifier? • How does putting centrifuges in series change the quality of separation compared to parallel? • If the problem is a large amount of water, is it smarter to focus on maximum water separation or maximum flow rate, and why?
• Identify which configuration maximizes water removal first, before final polishing of solids • Check which option explicitly uses both a purifier and a clarifier and how they are arranged • Verify whether increasing shoot cycles alone would be enough to deal with large quantities of water or just sludge buildup
