Installation – adapted to existing piping system
The installation included:
- 2 × WP1-P3-1000
The main generator set consists of four MAN 9L21/31 diesel engines, each rated at 1980 kW.
One filter system serves two engines.
The existing piping from the decommissioned separators was reused as much as possible. Old transfer pumps and centrifugal separators were removed to make room for the new GreenOil systems. Electrical preheaters were kept, but new by-pass lines were installed so the preheaters can be used only when necessary – for example, during cold starts or engine downtime. The temperature is now limited to a maximum of 60°C.
Modern filtration replaces traditional separators on board the offshore vessel Skandi Flora.In February 2024, Skandi Flora replaced its traditional centrifugal separators for lubrication oil cleaning with GreenOil filtration systems – a more reliable, low-maintenance, and energy-saving solution.
Skandi Flora upgrades to GreenOil filtration system – improved oil quality and reduced maintenance

Before and after – clear visual improvements
Following the installation, the GreenOil systems have delivered impressive results. One of the clearest improvements is seen during piston rod inspection:
Before installation:
The image shows dark, sooty oil and visible deposits – a result of insufficient filtration by the previous system.
After installation:
After just a few months of operation, the oil appears significantly cleaner and the piston rod is nearly free from visible contaminants.
This demonstrates that GreenOil effectively removes soot and microparticles that conventional separators fail to capture.

Crew feedback confirms the improvement
In addition to the technical benefits, the crew has also reported a noticeable difference:
“We have been very happy with our
GreenOil filters. We have diesel
electric MAN B&W engines and
theconsumption has gone
downon the lubricating oil.”
– Engine Control, offshorefartøy
This feedback highlights both improved operations and reduced oil consumption – validating the filtration system’s effectiveness.

Proven benefits after switching
-
Significant reduction in soot deposits – especially on critical components such as piston rods
-
Clearer and less viscous oil – indicating lower contamination and improved oil condition
-
Reduced wear and maintenance requirements
-
Elimination of complex separators and related components
-
Reliable, low-maintenance and energy-saving solution with no moving parts
The future of oil cleaning
The transition to GreenOil has provided Skandi Flora with a significant boost in operational reliability, oil quality, and energy efficiency. This case clearly demonstrates how modern filtration systems can outperform traditional separators – both technically and operationally – in demanding maritime environments.
