The Guardian portable filtration system is a unique pump/motor/filter combination designed for conditioning and transferring petroleum-based and water emulsion fluids. It protects your system from contamination added with new fluid because new fluid is not necessarily clean fluid. Most new fluids right out of the drum are unfit for use due to high initial concentrations of contaminants. Contamination may be added to a new fluid during processing, mixing, handling, and storage.
The Guardian also circulates and “polishes” fluid in your existing systems to reduce the contamination to an acceptable level. There are literally hundreds of applications that the Guardian is suited for, with more being discovered each day. If your system is sensitive to the harmful effects of contamination, then the Guardian may be ideal for you.

The Fluid Condition Sensor (FCS) is a diagnostic tool for monitoring fuel dilution, soot ingress & oil contamination issues that can lead to engine damage.
The FCS (Fluid Condition Sensor) from Parker Kittiwake is a new, multi-parameter sensor and alert system for monitoring oil quality, moisture, temperature and pressure. By
tracking changes in oil electrical conductivity, FCS can detect fuel dilution - a common problem in 4-stroke diesel engines. FCS also closely correlates to soot (insolubles) ingress by tracking changes in
relative permittivity. When combined with the Parker Kittiwake FCS Alert,
engine operators have a continuous monitoring tool to help guard against
engine failure.

The Cold Corrosion Test Kit (CCTK) provides an accurate measurement of corrosive iron content in cylinder liner oil.
Cylinder lubrication oil in large, 2-stroke marine diesel engines has tocontend with high temperatures and acidic products formed during the combustion of sulphur-rich bunker oils. Parker Kittiwake’s Cold Corrosion Test Kit is a quick, easy to use chemical test that provides an accurate measure of the parts per million (PPM) value of Fe2+ and Fe3+ compounds in used scrape down oil. Knowing the specific PPM of corroded iron allows
informed decisions to be made in adjustments to feed rates and the Base Number (BN) of the oil used.

Parker Kittiwake Ferrous Wear Meter (FWM) provides users with a quick, simple to operate method that measures ferrous wear debris in oil samples taken from a variety of types of machinery, including used cylinder scrapedown oil, gear boxes and bearings.
Monitoring of ferrous wear levels with your oil samples on an ongoing basis allows any deterioration in machine condition to be quickly spotted and corrective action taken, saving you downtime and money, and preventing more serious damage from occurring.

The DIGICell is the essential device for Water in Oil and BN (Base Number) testing - now tests up to BN150! Parker Kittiwake’s DIGICell oil test kit range provides a complete set
of economically-priced equipment with a level of accuracy suited to routine analysis. With an easy to read digital display providing instructions and results, a five year (10,000 tests) battery life and built-in memory for recording previous test results, the DIGICell has become a favoured test method worldwide for on-site and on-board testing. Test cells are available for either Water in Oil or Base Number (BN). Alternatively, a DIGI Combined Test Cell is available that performs both test parameters in a single cell.

LinerSCAN is the world’s first real-time alarm system for cylinder liner wear, providing early warning against engine damage. Parker Kittiwake’s LinerSCAN is designed to remove the uncertainty of cylinder liner damage resulting from low fuel quality, slow steaming, low
sulphur levels, lower oil feed rates and cylinder oil formulation changes. Trials have shown that LinerSCAN highlights the first signs of damage earlier than other systems and enables safe reduction of the lubricant feed rate. LinerSCAN is a fully automated system and will help save money by optimising the lubricant feed rate, reducing your maintenance loads and by helping you prevent engine damage.

The Cat Fines Test Kit detects catalytic fines to help prevent irreparable damage of fuel pumps, injectors, piston rings and liners.
The Cat Fines Test Kit from Parker Kittiwake is a chemical bottle test which determines the level of cat fines present in a representative sample of fuel oil, allowing the user to identify potentially damaging components before they enter the system. In minutes, this easy-to-use onboard test identifies the presence of abrasive silicon and aluminium catalytic fines, which can become embedded into engine components and cause irreversible damage if left untreated. The test kit can be used in conjunction with both laboratory testing and a range of other on-board condition monitoring tools, ensuring that operators have accurate data to safeguard against potentially catastrophic damage.

The Density Meter provides an on-site fuel analysis lab to help
protect assets, improve productivity and increase up-time.
The Density Meter from Parker Kittiwake is suitable for both distillate
and residual fuel oils. Measuring the density of fuel using hydrometers,
the Density Meter can be used to confirm the quantity and grade of fuel
delivered. Density is calculated electronically, providing fast, accurate results
and estimating the combustion performance (CCAI) and correct viscosity in
cP to cSt calculations.

The Compatibility Tester identifies possible stability problems before blending two fuels, indicating the effectiveness of stability additives.
The Parker Kittiwake Compatibility Tester is possibly the most useful tool available for testing fuel oil compatibility and blends. The kit provides a quick tool for engineers faced with the necessity to mix or blend residual fuel oil or wishing to establish the stability of a new bunker delivery. The Compatibility Tester can be purchased as a stand-alone kit supplied in its own case, or as part of a more extensive suite of testing equipment in the Fuel and Lubricant Cabinet.

Make fast on-site maintenance decisions with the Heated
Viscometer, providing laboratory grade oil condition results in
minutes.
The Parker Kittiwake Heated Viscometer provides a condition monitoring
tool that enables you to make rapid, on-site, informed operational and
maintenance decisions about your critical plant and equipment. Fuel and
lubricating oils form a major cost element in the operation of almost all
industrial machinery and engines: the quality must be closely monitored to
protect the investment. Detecting out-of-spec fuels or lubricants can identify
potential problems before equipment damage occurs.

The ability to spot check the Sulphur content of fuel on-board (to lab standards) within three minutes will help vessel operators, bunker suppliers, port authorities and regulatory surveyors ensure compliance with the latest IMO MARPOL fuel regulations.
Even before the lower 2020 fuel Sulphur Cap comes into force this fully hand portable device is a valuable tool to ensure Sulphur compliance and to provide an assurance that fuel delivered is of the correct specification. Equally it is a useful tool to ensure that near spec fuel has not been contaminated by tank residue and is a vital tool for surveyors to ensure fuel under scrutiny is compliant. Requiring a very small (5-10ml) quantity of
fuel to be placed in a sample pot the four decimal result is produced within three minutes in accordance with ISO 8754. This XRF has a dual utility on board too, as it can be used to analyse lubricants providing (also within three minutes) vital elemental analysis to identify wear and contamination. Truly an advance in engineering miniaturisation this device provides the utmost in fuel and lube oil quality confidence.
