Eliminator Background
• First introduced on KV Marine engines in early 1990’s
• Mining business turned out to be more interested at first
• Marine customers are now very interested to reduce
filter disposal
• Currently released on K38, K50, Q45, Q60 and Q78
engines.
• Most recently released on QSK19 engines (Feb 2007)
-backwards compatible with K19

Conclusions
• After the 34 hours of testing with the CCU, the number of
particles per gram of oil decreased by more than 50% for
particle sizes under 4 µm when compared to the “standard”
configuration.
