Petro-Marine
The powerful Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence
(EDXRF) analyzers of Xenemetrix are capable of more
sensitive and precise analysis than can be expected
from a laboratory class analyzer.
The Petro-Marine analysis system is appropriate
to be used onboard vessels, thanks to its robust
design. The EDXRF technology allows an accurate
percentage and sub percentage analysis, within 100
seconds, with very low operational costs and no need
for sample preparations.
Key Applications
Detection of Sulfur content in bunker diesel fuels
Detection of Cat Fines- avoiding engine failure
Detection of Sea water contamination
Detection of Wear metals in oils
Detection of fraudulent mixing in bunker fuels
Xenemetrix Petro-Marine Spectrometer
The Petro-Marine analyzer is designed to fulfill all
key aspects of the marine fuels and oils industry.
This includes: meeting the government regulations
with regards to low Sulfur, and enhancing engine
performance, avoiding engine failure at sea and
minimizing operational costs.
The Petro-Marine system provides a cost effective
maintenance management tool that specifically
designed to reduce the cost of operation and total
cost of ownership, with returns of investment
measured in a few months.
Sulfur in Diesel fuel
The Petro-Marine is an onboard analysis system for
detecting Sulfur in Diesel fuel, compliant with the
international regulations for “Sulfur Oxides in Diesel
Fuel”.
The monitoring and control of Sulfur oxides, named
MARPOL Annex VI is divided between inside ECA
(Emission Control Areas) and outside ECA.
These regulations are enforced both globally and
locally by each country and failure to comply can
lead to heavy penalties.
The IMO (International Maritime Organization)
continuously sets new standards in order to minimize
and control the harmful polluting exhausts from
vessel engines. IMO is the World’s largest maritime
organization with over 170 member states and
acts as a regulatory agency for the international
maritime industry.

OUTSIDE ECA:

INSIDE ECA:
4.5% (45000ppm) prior to January 1st 2012
1.5% (15000ppm) prior to July 1st2010
3.5% (35000ppm) after January 1st 2012
1.0% (10000ppm) after July 1st 2010
0.5% (5000ppm) starting January 1st 2020 (expected)
0.1% (5000ppm) starting January 1st 2015 (final)

Cat Fines Detection
Cat fines are substances of Silicon & Aluminum
compounds which are required as catalysts in
the refining process. These particles can cause
severe cylinder wall damage when present in large
concentrations. The Petro-Marine system allows the
ship owner to confirm the presence and magnitude of
cat fines in the in fuel within seconds during the fuel
purchase thereby avoiding potential engine failure.
Lube Oils Monitoring
The concentrations of wear metals in engine
lubricating oil can be directly related to the engine
components and can indicate component wear. An
engine maintenance program using the Petro Marine
system which routinely measures concentrations
of wear metals in oils will avoid unexpected engine
failure and ensure a high degree of safety.
In addition, monitoring the contents of calcium, zinc
and phosphorus reveals information pertaining to
a diluted additive or improper choice of oil during
engine maintenance.
Water Contamination
The Petro-Marine system enables the detection of
sea water contamination in marine fuels by analyzing
the content of Na, Cl, Mg and K. The analysis is
quantifiable and distinguishes levels that are not
permitted.
Fraud
Routine analysis can discover fraudulent mixing of
used lubrication oil in bunker fuels.
Xenemetrix Petro-Marine Spectrometer
Petro-Marine Software
The systems are equipped with GPRS/Wi-Fi/Satellite
Data Transfer and GPS. This enable location based
data to be transferred immediately to the shipping
company HQ server for reporting & monitoring.
Petro-Marine has an advanced software package
with strong abilities. The user-friendly system
enables an operator to perform multiple tests
within a short time and minimum effort.
The Petro-Marine system can operate in a “stand
alone” mode wherein all data and results are stored
locally, as well as in a “client-server” configuration
(advised) wherein all results and data are updated in
real time or upon request to the shipping company
HQ server.
This enables easy management of multiple systems
at disperses global locations.
