Marine Analysis Program
A central part of every maintenance schedule, oil analysis identifies potential problems with wetted systems such as gearboxes, engines, generators, pumps and bearings.
Regular testing provides a clearer picture of cleanliness and performance helping keep critical control systems and supply vehicles in perfect condition.
Particles found within filters, on magnetic chip detectors or during routine visual inspection are analysed using the analytical capabilities of Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM).
Periodic monitoring of fuel tanks and bowsers is fundamental to ensure that fuel cleanliness is maintained at all times and to identify when treatment is needed.
Coolants protect against corrosion and freezing and have a critical role in dissipating heat from an engine.
Grease testing, contamination identification and trend analysis is a vital tool in condition monitoring of mission critical machinery. Analysis can identify advanced wear, overheating, contamination, grease degradation, the wrong spec grease, too much grease, too little and should failure occur comprehensive examination of the destroyed item to help identify the root cause.
Fire water suppressant by mist generation is an important safety factor onboard. New regulations insist upon mandatory testing of this water to identify elements that may cause disfunction of the system when called to action during a fire with potentially catastrophic results.
