Compatibility

All blended fuels carry the risk of incompatible components causing them to become unstable with serious consequences for the users. Our compatibility test provides assurance
against such occurrence.

Danger and risk

    • Clogging of filters, pumps and injection nozzles
    • Power loss/failure of the drive system interruption in service
    • High cost of removing blockages in pipes/cleaning tanks etc.

Reason

Fuel combines crude oil from many different sources that are not all compatible to each others.

Solution

Onboard testing with the TriboAmix enables the operator to assess the compatibility of different fuel in-situ.

For cleaning the tools, we recommend using #1727 Organic Cleaning Agent

The TriboVis Pro 2 is an electronic falling ball viscosity meter with an inbuilt heating system for all kinds of fuels and lubricants. The easy to use testing procedure enables the operator to get an instant result for the viscosity parameter of the bunker fuel or the lubricant in use. Several calculation options e.g. CCAI, injection and pumping temperature settings of fuels are installed to help the engineer operating the machinery with maximum efficiency.

The Density helps the engineers onboard to control the bunker fuels on the right specifications according the bunker delivery note (BDN). Density is also needed to measure the correct viscosity (Vkin = cSt ) of the bunker fuel by means of an i.e. TriboVis Pro.

ViscoCheck

Lube Oil Quality Test

    • Checking the viscosity by comparing fresh and used oil
    • Viscosity range: Go/No Go (low, acceptable, high)

Order No.: #1055, ViscoCheck

For cleaning the tools above we recommend using #1727 Organic Cleaning Agent

Density  

A critical parameter in the purchasing, managing and burning of fuel oil.

Danger and Risk

    • As fuel is delivered by volume and paid by weight, density is the key to value
    • It is essential for efficient separator operation

Reason

Density is the key for efficient operations.

Solution

Accurate onboard tests such as TriboDens analogue or TriboDens Digital enable efficient and cost efficient operations.

Density is also needed to measure the correct viscosity (Vkin = cSt ) of the bunker fuel by means of an i.e. TriboVis Pro (#1114).

 

TriboDens D

Digital Density Test

    • Electronic density determination
    • Measuring range: from 0.6 – 1.3 g/ml
    • Measurement at ambient temperature (no heating required)

    • Measuring time less than 1 minute
    • Does not require a hydrometer
    • Higher accuracy, easy to use, fast results
    • The medium must not be heated for measuring
    • The density is automatically converted to density at 15 °C

The TriboDens D is a digital density measuring device. This device helps the engineers onboard to control the bunker fuels on the right specifications according to the bunker delivery note (BDN).

The new Cat Fines Test Kit has been specifically designed to provide the crew with a clear sail or don’t sail indication with regards to fuel quality. Cat Fines Test indicates fuel samples that are contaminated with dangerous levels of cat fines even before the fuel has been pumped aboard.

    • Low cost per test
    • Only small fuel sample sizes needed
    • Multiple tests at different sampling points
    • Revolutionary new system (Pat.-No. 3121596)

Due to accumulation of cat fines in storage over time it is essential to determine the cat fines concentration especially during rough sea passages, before separators and finally engines may deviate significantly from the demanded values.
