Abstract
Diesel power plant is the main power supply for the villagers in the island. The operating and maintenance cost for this type of power plants is usually high due to the transportation and accessibility problems. The off-line filtration is introduced to the diesel generator set lubricating system to see its impact on the lubricating oil quality, fuel consumption and energy generated. The cost benefit analysis is conducted to show the economic benefit of integrating the CJC™ Fine Filter into the diesel generating set in Pulau Redang Power Station. This research is intended to reduce the operation and maintenance cost. After installation of CJC™ Fine Filters, there is reduction of contamination elements and kinematic viscosity is improved even after running more than manufacturer’s recommended running hours. The fuel consumption 3.75% less than before, the oil changing interval can be extended which resulting to approximately RM14,893.82 life cycle cost saving per year.
