To be mounted on ships, LOAS is
capable of analysing the fuel during bunkering to the ship, and it also
provides real time analysis of the cleansed/treated fuel when it is
pumped from the day tank (consumption tank). The results can be
monitored in the engine control room; the results can also be logged and
thereby provide retrievable historical data on the ship.
LOAS is a complete system that focuses on real time
analysis of elements such as Sulphur, Vanadium and CATFINES (Silicon and
Aluminium) & gas contents etc.in bunker oil. The system is also capable of analysing
fuel density & viscosity, which together calculate the fuel heating
value CCAI (Calculated Carbon Aromatic Index).
These data are available in real
time format. The data are also accessible on-line on a central server
through a secure GSM connection allowing Fleet Management access to all
relevant quality and consumption data concerning fuel – thereby
providing an opportunity to relate such data to the bunker fuel
investment/purchase made and optimize future purchasing strategies.
