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.
