Fully hand Portable XRF device (about the size of a bowling ball) that will analyse a 10ml (approximately) sample of fuel and give a lab quality Sulphur level to four decimal places within three minutes. No reagents or accurate sample sizes required, and the push of one button will give you the answer you need.
For sales or commercial inquiries please contact us at marine@insatech.com.
Samples can be taken at multiple intervals and if an anomaly is found, the supplier, broker, purchaser or vessel operator can respond immediately and take action before the vessel sails. Switching fuel whilst underway can be carried out with confidence and if blending has to take place, a finite Sulphur level can be guaranteed. Bunker delivery notes can be verified by the purchaser and confidence can be restored.
As a Port State authority there has always been concern about how to police the new Sulphur cap, as surveyors would only be presented with historical data of what had been burned, or paper evidence of what is in the tanks*. If a surveyor has a Portable XRF device, samples can be taken immediately and it can be established whether the vessel should be subject to further investigation or ‘passed’ as meeting IMO regulations.
The XRF Analyser combines simplicity with accuracy. Its standalone operation means that it offers immediate plug-and-play operation.
