Sealless SolutionSeamless Performance

The IMO OptiLine series is making waves within the

marine industry. Innovative technology eaturing

magnetic couplings drastically reduces wear as well as

making oil leakage history. Far rom being the negative

ocus o your engine, IMO OptiLine will simply work as

one with it.

THE STANDARD APPROACH

A pacin bo, a mechanical seal o a lip seal ae the most

common methods o avoidin leaae aond a otatin

shat etendin thoh the wall o a pmp. Sch seals

ae lbicated and cooled b the pmped liqid; as a

eslt leaae can alwas be epected om a taditional

mechanicall sealed pmp.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Ove the eas, the Heav Fel Oil (HFO) sed o the main

enine has become moe and moe aessive. To handlehihe viscosities, the tempeate o the oil has inceased.

Fom pot to pot, the bne oil that is loaded can also

be o ve dieent qalit. A bad bne can bea the

booste pmps mechanical seal esltin in heav leaae.

These chanes have led to inceased wea on mechanical

seals, pimail in the booste pmps/booste modles.

The same shat seal that 10 eas ao onl needed eplace-

ment eve second ea, ma now have to be shited two

times pe ea. This means inceased maintenance and

costs o the vessels.

AUTHORITIES REQUIRE CLEAN ENGINE ROOMS

The SOLAS diective stiplates that thee can be no oil

close to o on hot saces, to avoid e onboad. Man

athoities intepet SOLAS as meanin thee can be no

oil leaae at all om the booste pmps handlin the

ve hot Heav Fel Oil. Some pot athoities eqie

completel clean enine ooms beoe the vessel is

allowed into the pot. With mechanicall sealed pmps,

this means epeated cleanin o the enine oom to

wash ot the ecess oil comin om lbicat in the

mechanical seal.

Magnetic coupling technology resolves the prolems

IMO OptiLine has the answer.

Invest in

a lea-free future

A leaking oil pump also leaks money its that simple.

The solution is IMO OptiLine. Return on investment

or an IMO OptiLine pump is oten less than three years,

ater that it will continue to save you money.

THE IMO OPTILINE APPROACH

With the IMO OptiLine seies, thee is no shat etendin

into the etenal envionment at all. Instead the powe

om the moto is tansmitted via pemanent manets

leavin the pmpin chambe completel sealed o. The

absence o mechanical seals means no leaae. Thee is

no need o cleanin enine ooms o oi l om shat seal

lbication, o eplacin won ot seals, o o spendin

mone on maintenance. Once installed, the IMO OptiLine

pmp will eep pmpin o eas with pacticall no

associated costs.

HOW DOES IT FIT IN WITH

MY EXISTING THREE SCREW PUMP?

Ve easil indeed. It is oten vitall a dop-in eplace-

ment with o cent IMO thee scew pmp. The

eslt is minimm costs o pipin and e-stctin.

The eplacement can be done in an pot with jst a ew

hos stop. The compact desin and dieent lane

option maes the eplacement o a non-IMO pmp a

ve eas one, with little o no impact on the cent

pipin and laot.

WHY UPGRADE?

Fist, and most obviosl, the leas ae one no messenine ooms, no wasted man-hos o delas, jst solid

peomance. The eatest benet is nancial; the costs

o opeatin o oil pmp have been dasticall edced.

Fom da one, o maintenance costs will be sbstantiall

lowe. The emoval o mechanical seals emoves a lae

pat o the poblem: with no wea on the pats, thee is no

need to eplace them. Fo an entie feet, an IMO OptiLine

oil pmp cold liteal l save o tens o thosands o

Eos. Eos bette spent elsewhee!

THE CLIENT: STENA LINE

THE VESSEL: STENA DANICA

THE STORY:DURING SPRING 2008 IMO OPTILINE PUMPS

WERE INSTALLED AbOARD THE PASSENGER VESSEL,

STENA DANICA.

THE RESULT:1st Eninee, Johan Sjlande, states, The constantlleain pmp, and neative inspection epots oced s into

looin o an altenative spplie. IMO AB pmps have a

ood eptation and solid tac ecod in the maine indst,

theeoe we looed at both IMO ABs standad pmps as well as

the manetic copled altenatives.

Chie Eninee Hans Conelisson: The lea-ee opeation

stated with IMO OptiLine was somethin that we eall wanted

to evalate. So a the IMO OptiLine pmps have deliveed the

pomise o tl lea-ee opeation.

Stena Line AB activel wos with HSE (Health, Saet and Envion-

mental) isses. Fthe the ae cetied to the envionmental

standad ISO 14001.

THE CLIENT: STOLT-NIELSEN

THE VESSEL: STOLT EFFICIENCY

THE STORY: IMO OPTILINE WAS INSTALLED

IN AN F.O. bOOSTER APPLICATION IN 2004.

THE RESULT: The pmp has peomed

admiabl, withot an poblems, 22 500hos ate installation, sas chie eninee,

David Hopins.

The IMO OptiLine manetic copled tech-

nolo, has sbstantiall inceased the eliabilit

and deceased cost and time o maintenance

and eplacement o shat seals. At Stolt-Nielsen

we ae committed to opeational ecellence.

This means that we continosl stive o

inceased peomance at all levels, om hman

capital to eqipment, incldin pmps.

The pump has performed admirably, without anyproblems, 22 500 hours after installation.

Tae a closer looTo really achieve efciency in pumping oil, we needed

a re-examination o how oil was pumped. The challenge

was then to remove any problem areas.

The solution: IMO OptiLine.

FULLY ENCLOSED

The taditional mechanicall sealed pmp has an inhe-

ent desin faw: the pmped liqid is sed to lbicate the

seal, which eslts in oil leain thoh the seal.

To avoid this poblem, we needed to desin a pmp

with no mechanical seal, sas And Bestm,

Chie Technical Oce at IMO AB. The soltion was

a pmp with a completel sealed pmpin chambe.

Powe is tansmitted om the moto to the pmps oto

set via pemanent manets. Instead o the taditional seal

and coplin, the oto shat is eqipped with pemanent

manets. The oto shat is then sealed inside a non-

manetic can. No oil can lea thoh this can. On

the ote atmospheic side o the can, an ote oto withpemanent manets is copled to the dive. With no

slidin contact seals, thee is no wa o oil to escape.

NO NEED FOR EXTERNAL COOLING

The manetic coplin o the IMO OptiLine pmp is

desined to withstand tempeates o p to 350 withot

isin nction. A small action o the pmp low is

diveted bac into the inne side o the manetic coplin

and then etned to the pmp inlet. The minimal loss

o low has no pactical impact bt emoves the heat

eneated in the coplin. As a eslt, thee is no need o

an etenal coolin, and the connectin ame can be

sealed to avoid dst jammin the manetic coplin on the

atmospheic side.

HIGH TORQUE PERFORMANCE MAGNETS

The manets in IMO OptiLine pmps ae dimensioned

and ve well sited o the hashest nnin conditions

in tems o hih viscosities.

The IMO OptiLine is eqipped with steam tacin. This maes

it possible to connect the pmp to the booste sstems

eistin heat tacin with steam, hot wate o themal oil.

FEWER PRObLEMS

The traditional mechanical weak points aregone, so is the need to replace them. In act,

there are minimal spare parts or maintenance

costs with an IMO OptiLine upgrade.

LEAk-FREE PERFORMANCE

Oil leaks, like the associated fnancial

leaks, are gone, and youre let with

reliable, worry-ree perormance.

EXTREME DUTY

The optimal solution or Heavy

Fuel Oil applications, and designedto maintain high perormance at

extreme temperatures.

SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA

The IMO OptiLine oil pump

is compliant with the SOLASguidelines and directives.

HASSLE-FREE CONVERSION

It is virtually a drop-in replacement with your

current IMO AB three screw pump, keeping the

cost o piping and re-structuring to a minimum.
