Scope of Work

A major offshore operator required critical diesel filtration services to improve fuel quality aboard a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel and a supporting supply vessel operating in Northwest Africa. The goal was to reduce contamination, protect onboard systems, and ensure reliable fuel performance in a challenging offshore environment. 

Execution

Since initial commissioning in June 2024, Centurion's Fluid Filtration business line in the UK has treated highly contaminated diesel using a full-service filtration package to deliver clean, operational-grade fuel aboard the assets. 

Within 450-minutes of deploying a new re-circulation process provided by Centurion, the team successfully reduced contamination of particles larger than four microns from approximately 60,000 to just 1,500 in 48m³ of diesel. Centurion Fluid Filtration (UK)  also mobilized experienced filtration engineers, a high-flow filtration unit, filter consumables, diaphragm pumps, and hoses to support this critical scope. 

Outcome

Centurion’s solution significantly improved the quality of the diesel fuel, enabling the vessels to operate more reliably while minimising wear and tear on critical systems. 

This project highlights Centurion’s ability to deliver measurable, efficiency-driven outcomes in complex offshore environments — reducing operational risk and supporting more sustainable fuel use across the marine energy sector.
