Marine Fuel and Oil Monitoring -Compass4294

IMO (International Maritime Organization) is constantly setting new standards to minimize and control harmful polluting exhaust gases from ship engines. IMO is the world’s largest maritime organization, with more than 170 member countries, and is the regulatory body for the international maritime industry. The monitoring and control of sulphur oxides, known as MARPOL Annex VI, is divided into ECA internal (emission control Area) and ECA outdoor.

Each country enforces these regulations both globally and locally, failing which can result in severe penalties:

IMO Regulations on SOx (Sulphur oxide) outside ECAs: IMO Regulations on SOx (Sulphur oxide) within ECAs:

4.5% (45000ppm) before January 1, 2012 și 1.5% (15,000ppm) before July 1, 2010

3.5% (35,000 PPM) after January 1, 2012 și 1.0%(10,000 PPM) after July 1, 2010

Effective January 1, 2020 0.5% (5,000ppm) (expected) Effective January 1, 2015 0.1% (5,000ppm) (final)

powerful Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analyzer enables analysis with greater sensitivity and accuracy than expected from laboratory-grade analyzers.

The Compass4294 analyzer is designed to meet all key aspects of the Marine fuel and petroleum industries. This includes: Meeting government regulations on low drain, enhancing engine performance, avoiding offshore engine failures and minimizing operating costs:

Cat Fine Powder Detection -Cat fine powder is a substance of silicon and aluminum compounds that is required as a catalyst during the refining process. When present in large quantities, these particles can cause serious cylinder wall damage. The Compass4294S system allows shipowners to confirm the presence and severity of cat fines in fuel within seconds of purchasing it, thereby avoiding potential engine failure.

Lubricating oil monitoring – The wear metal concentration in engine lubricating oil can be directly related to engine components and can indicate component wear. An engine maintenance program using an XRF system can routinely measure the wear metal concentration in the oil, which can avoid unexpected engine failure and ensure a high degree of safety. în plus, monitoring calcium, zinc, and phosphorus concentrations can reveal information about dilution additives or improper oil selection during engine maintenance.

Water Pollution -Compass4294S system is able to detect sea water pollution in Marine materials by analyzing the content of CI, Mo and K, the analysis is quantifiable and can distinguish the disallowed levels,1 fraud – conventional analysis can detect fraudulent mixing of used lubricants with Marine fuel.
