Product Specifications
Receiving fuel of poor quality can be a nightmare for ship operators because off-spec fuel wears out the engine and can even cause severe damage to critical components. The need for continuous monitoring of an engine’s performance is not to be taken lightly. SEA-Mate® now puts this critical diagnostic process under your control, and not in the hands of a third party. There are two SEA-Mate® Analyzer models. The SEA-Mate® M2000 is designed for analyzing lubricants and fuel sulfur only and the SEA-Mate® M3000 which analyzes both lubricants and fuels, and includes the detection and measurement of cat fines in the fuel.

Field Data
Maersk Fluid Technology has carried out extensive field tests on several vessels and power plants. As the graphs reveal, there is excellent correlation between SEA-Mate速 Analyzer results and those from the same sample run at a land based lab.

SEA-Mate® Analyzers Detection of Cat Fines
As the maritime industry moves more and more into the use of lower sulfur fuels, there is a higher risk of significant ring and liner damage from abrasive cat fines from the low sulfur fuel manufacturing process. As depicted in the photograph below, these hard particles become embedded in the matrix of the ring and liner material and cause significant damage. Many cases have been reported that multiple liners have been destroyed in a matter of days following the introduction of cat fines from the fuel. SEA-Mate® M3000 analyzers allow the shipowner to confirm the presence and magnitude of cat fines in the fuel within minutes allowing the operator to refuse a load of fuel that could be potentially damaging to the engine.
“Why pay a third party and wait for the results when you can generate the same results on-board or on-site in just minutes?” The Value Calculator online at www.maerskfluid.com allows you to calculate the degree of savings your fleet will realize through using the SEA-Mate® Analyzer as
the SEA-Mate® Analyzer
an integral part of your maintenance program.
The example above is based on existing customers and shows the typical payback period.

SEA-Mate® Benefits SEA-Mate® Capability
user Benefit
Early detection of wear
Detection of liner scuffing long before thermal sensors alarm Identification of the onset of wear in all lubricated systems Check on re-build work to ensure there are no problems
Analysis of heavy fuel for cat fines and fuel sulfur level
Provides user ability to confirm fuel quality prior to bunkering Can detect cat fines by measuring the Si and Al levels down to 10 ppm combined Avoids de-bunkering costs Provides proof of due diligence to comply with IMO sulfur restrictions Ability to detect possible tramp constituents in fuel such as waste oil
Rapid results and non-destructive testing process
Analysis results generated in 6 minutes Provides ability to run an immediate re-test if you want to confirm results Non-destructive testing allows for maintaining a retain sample
Ability to analyze all lubricated systems
Ensure satisfactory condition of lubricated systems that impact safety, key maneuvering systems and ancillary equipment Can eliminate oil change intervals based on time and base changes on actual oil condition
Conduct used oil analysis & fuel analysis on-board or on-site
Eliminates the time delay in receiving results Eliminates the cost of shipping samples and the cost of the analysis itself
Ease of use
No decanting of fluid to run the analysis, testing conducted through the capped sample bottle Sample locations are set-up with a distinct bar code at the specific sample point which eliminates the need to register the sample point or fill out bottle labels No need to input the sample data into the computer database XRF measurement process prompted by screen commands & instructions
Ability to trend each sample point’s history
Ability to forecast problems by observing the trend Ability to compare the relative health of similar systems Ability to compare overall health of different engines or vessels within the fleet, even when lubricated by different oil companies
Ability to confirm lube and fuel separator efficiency through cat fines measurements
Provides a quick determination of separator efficiency to ensure that your lubricants and fuel are in the best possible condition prior to use
Accurate results in 6 minutes rather than two weeks - which do you prefer? The accuracy and speed of SEA-Mate® Analyzers are only a few of the benefits that owning a unit provides the end user. The table to the right gives an overview of just some of the tangible benefits that a SEA-Mate® Analyzer can bring to your operation. The SEA-Mate Analyzer has the capability to identify problems before they become ®
costly and potentially dangerous events. One or two early detections and related cost-avoidance will more than exceed the price of the SEA-Mate® Analyzer.
