Introducing the SEA-Mate® Analyzer – a novel device for lubricant and fuel sulfur analysis. The SEA-Mate® Analyzer provides incipient failure detection and fluid quality control within minutes. Continuous engine performance monitoring is critical, which is why the SEA-Mate® Analyzer puts this essential diagnostic task in your own hands, rather than relying on third-party services. It’s designed to analyze both lubricants and fuel sulfur with precision, making it a reliable tool for monitoring cylinder oil consumption and identifying early signs of wear or contamination.
The Analyzer is the only solution that can instantly detect corrosive engine wear, especially common during slow steaming or in modern engine designs. Knowing the true iron content is key to optimizing performance by selecting the right cylinder oil BN and feed rate. This results in longer life for cylinder liners and piston rings, while reducing spare part and maintenance costs.
By enabling early detection of corrosive wear and optimizing cylinder oil feed rates, the SEA-Mate® Analyzer helps extend cylinder liner and piston ring lifetime – significantly reducing spare parts consumption and maintenance expenses.
The SEA-Mate® Elemental Analyzer offers a powerful set of tools to support efficient and reliable engine operation. With fast and accurate onboard analysis, it enables operators to detect early signs of abnormal wear, monitor oil and additive quality, and ensure compliance with fuel sulfur levels. This not only improves maintenance planning and reduces downtime, but also helps optimize lubricant use, extend engine life, and lower overall operating costs.
Elemental analysis for large transportation and land-based power generation.
Optimization of oils, additives usage, and predictive maintenance
Early detection of abnormal wear from metals such as Fe, V, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb
Enables control of oil & additive usage to blend to precise alkalinity levels
Analyzes S in fuels when bunkering
As well as its function of almost instant bunker testing, trend analysis is a strong feature of the SEA-Mate® X-Ray analysis system. Condition based maintenance is becoming increasingly popular because it has the capacity to reduce both the quantity of spare parts consumed and the number of man hours spent on unnecessary strip downs.
Analysis of wear metals in engine lube samples is one of the best means of practicing Condition Based Monitoring because it provides better indications of the internal health of the engine without the uncertainty that extending TBOs based on predicted component life has.
Each sampling point on the engine and other critical machinery is equipped with a unique bar code sticker. When taking a sample, a handheld bar code reader matches the sample point with the corresponding sample bottle. Once samples are collected, the bar code reader is connected to the SEA-Mate® terminal, which logs the time and date, and links the sample to the appropriate database entry.
When a sample bottle is placed into the machine, the results are automatically recorded. Over time, this builds a robust database that allows operators to analyze performance trends across custom time periods. Engine samples can be taken from every cylinder, enabling targeted trend analysis for the whole engine or specific areas – making it easier to identify issues and their root causes.
