Portable Oil Analyzer - QualiCube™ 100S (for Measuring Sulphur Content of Marine Fuel Oil)
Portable Oil XRF Analyzer is a compact, plug-and-play X-Ray Fluorescence system for rapid, in-situ elemental analysis of oils, lubricants, and wear metals, including marine fuel oil sulfur content. It provides laboratory-grade precision for verifying sulfur compliance, assessing contamination, and supporting predictive maintenance, usable on sea or land with minimal training.
Factory-calibrated to ISO 8754, the instrument provides highly accurate field measurements that correlate strongly with accredited laboratory results. With its rugged, lightweight build and high-resolution touchscreen interface, the analyzer serves as a reliable portable oil analyzer for marine engines, industrial plants, and fuel handling facilities.
Applications
1. Marine Fuel Compliance & Bunker Testing
- Verifying sulfur content of marine fuels during bunker delivery to comply with IMO MARPOL sulfur limits (0.10% SECA / 0.50% global)
- Preventing costly de-bunkering by identifying non-compliant fuel within minutes
2. Lubrication and Wear Metal Analysis
- Detecting metallic contaminants that signal abnormal wear conditions, including: Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Nickel, Tin, Vanadium, Zinc, Molybdenum, Silver, Calcium, and others.
- Monitoring lube oil integrity and early indicators of mechanical failure
3. Predictive and Proactive Maintenance
- Condition monitoring for marine, oil & gas, energy generation, aviation, and industrial equipment
- Supporting intelligence-based maintenance strategies by providing actionable, real-time data
4. Portable, On-Site Elemental Screening
- Multi-element analysis for fuels, oils, and environmental samples
- Situations requiring a portable oil analyzer where lab access is limited
