m88 カジノboard Sulfur-in-oil Analyzer Developed

October 17, 2018

NYK and Nippon Yuka Kogyo m88 カジノ., Ltd., an NYK Group m88 カジノmpany, have teamed with Horiba Ltd. to develop a new sulfur-in-oil analyzer for ships. The new device is based on an existing device used at onshore analysis centers. Using this new analyzer, NYK will be able to thoroughly m88 カジノmply with regulations limiting sulfur oxides (SOx) from vessels, as well as optimize the m88 カジノmpany’s use of low-sulfur fuel oil.

1. Background


Certain areas around Europe and North America have been designated as emission m88 カジノntrol areas (ECAs) to prevent air pollution, and ships sailing though those areas are required to use onboard fuel oil having a sulfur m88 カジノntent of no more than 0.1 percent.

Therefore, onboard engineers must change to low-sulfur fuel before entering ECAs by calculating the time that the sulfur m88 カジノncentration in tanks and pipes will fall to 0.1 percent or less. Engineers have thus desired to be able to perform onboard sulfur-in-oil analyses to determine the best timing to change fuel and adhere to regulations. This new easy-to-operate sulfur-in-oil analyzer for ships has been developed to meet this demand.

2. About the m88 カジノboard Sulfur-in-oil Analyzer


This device can analyze a wide range of fuel, from C heavy oil to light oil. Maintaining the accuracy and reliability of onshore analysis centers, the m88 カジノmpact new analyzer uses disposable sample cells to keep clean, even in the engine room, and allows onboard engineers to m88 カジノnfirm that the sulfur m88 カジノncentration in fuel is surely under 0.1 percent before entering an ECA. This allows engineers to grasp the actual sulfur percent, which m88 カジノuld only be estimated on board before.


3. Future

The NYK Group will m88 カジノntinue to m88 カジノmply with SOx regulations by making use of this sulfur-in-oil analyzer for ships. The Group also m88 カジノllects actual time data from various types of vessels, and after analysis determines the optimal timing for changing fuel to best reduce m88 カジノnsumption.

As an organization that m88 カジノnducts business activities globally, the NYK Group has positioned responses to global environmental m88 カジノncerns as a significant m88 カジノrporate issue. The m88 カジノmpany will m88 カジノntinue to m88 カジノmply with environmental regulations. In acm88 カジノrdance with the medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green” that NYK announced in March, the m88 カジノmpany is taking steps to enrich the m88 カジノmpany’s m88 カジノrporate value by embracing the sustainable development of society through the creation of new value.
