A crewboat is designed to transport supplies and personnel to offshore oil rigs. Loading the cargo must be quick and efficient. The last thing the crew wants to worry about is whether they have enough storage space for the engine lube oil filters. Furthermore, they don't need the hassle of disposing of used lube oil filters while at the docks. Seacor Smit Inc. found that Alfa Laval's Eliminator, an automatic self-cleaning filter system, helps to save time and money by eliminating the need for spin on cartridge filters, while also saving the crew the messy off-hour work. Seacor started using the Eliminator filter about four years ago on KV50 engines. Today, the company has 25 KV50 engines and five KV38 engines, all equipped with the Eliminator filter.
