Example: the new integrated tug/barge combina- tions—"work vessels of the future." A key factor in their design concept is the use of an efficient oil- purifying system. That's why leading diesel engine manufacturers, working with shipyards like Halter Marine, specify Westfalia CENTRI- PACK modules as original equipment. . .CENTRI-PACK systems remove water and impurities from heavy oil, so you don't have to think about disastrous breakdowns due to diesel engine damage. The Westfalia CENTRI-PACK is a compact module that fits almost anywhere. Built around one or more Westfalia Centrifugal Purifiers, it incorporates all necessary components—piping, wiring, motors, pumps, heaters, control panels, the works. Operation is automatic, in- stallation is easy. There's more. CENTRI-PACK also cleans lube oil, removing carbon and metal particles—which prevents premature engine wear, sharply reduces downtime, and saves money by extending lube oil life.
