The IMO’s Net-Zero Framework aims to achieve a 40% reduction of CO₂ emissions by 2030 and for 10% of shipping energy to be delivered by net-zero or near net-zero emission technologies by 2030. Pall offers cutting-edge marine filtration solutions supporting this shift to sustainable marine fuels and protecting next-generation propulsion systems like fuel cells.

Our advanced filtration solutions are designed to accelerate the transition to zero-emission marine fuels by:

• Optimizing fuel system performance for next-generation vessels
• Supporting hydrogen-ready infrastructure and onboard equipment
• Enabling effective methanol fuel treatment for marine applications
• Protecting PEM fuel cells with high-efficiency filtration
• Preparing vessels for ammonia-based propulsion systems
• Supporting dual-fuel engine readiness for flexible fuel use
• Delivering critical filtration for zero-emission ship operations

IMO 2023 Compliance with Marine Filtration Solutions

To meet evolving regulations, vessels must adopt appropriate filtration systems allowing customers to meet emission targets with marine fuels. Pall’s systems:

• Remove sulfur in fuel cell systems
• Prevent CO poisoning in fuel cells
• Support DNV fuel cell compliance

Supporting Applications

Filtration for Combustion Engines and Fuel Cells 

Pall’s marine filtration portfolio supports a wide range of critical systems across both traditional combustion engines and next-generation fuel cell technologies, ensuring optimal performance, protection, and compliance.

Combustion Engine Filtration Solutions

• Liquid Coolant Filtration – Protects engine cooling systems from particulate buildup and corrosion.
• Lube Filtration – Maintains oil cleanliness to reduce wear and extend engine life.
• Fuel Filters – Removes contaminants from diesel and low-sulfur fuels to ensure clean combustion.
• Hydraulic System Filters – Protects hydraulic circuits from particulate damage and fluid degradation.
• Liquid/Liquid Coalescers – Separates water from fuel to prevent injector fouling and corrosion.

Fuel Cell Filtration Technologies

• Liquid/Gas Coalescers – Removes entrained liquids from hydrogen, or methanol gas streams.
• Liquid/Liquid Coalescers – Separates oil from alternative fuel to prevent cross contamination.
• Liquid Coolant Particulate Filtration – Maintains coolant purity in fuel cell thermal management systems.
• Particle Filters – Captures fine particulates that can damage sensitive fuel cell components.
• Water Separators – Removes free water contamination in methanol fuel delivery and hydrogen/air in the anode/cathode of fuel cells. 

These solutions are essential for fuel cell reliability, PEM fuel cell protection, and SOFC fuel conditioning, helping shipowners meet performance and IMO 2050 decarbonization goals.
