Financial and Technical benefits

We optimized our engine condition and significantly reduce our lubrication & fuel consumption.

We have invested in a SEA-Mate® Blending-on-Board and Analyzer system. Our goal was to optimize the internal engine condition, lessen lubrication and fuel consumption, protect against price volatility and overall, to reduce the Company’s Operating & Maintenance expenses. The system, now installed, recognizes accomplishments, provides flexibility and anticipates savings that can redound to the benefit of customers. 
A sample test result showed a 0,5% increase in fuel efficiency, which translates to a fuel saving of BD$18,000/month.

 

The Barbados Light & Power Company Limited feels confident that this installation will help us to achieve our overall goal and we are of the belief that other 2-stroke engine power plants can secure similar technical and financial benefits.
