Changing fuels in ECA? no need to change lubricant

摘要

Marine lubricant producer Total Lubmarine is now in the final stages of testing a new single-oil cylinder lubricant designed to meet the requirements of ships running on low sulfur fuels. Talusia Optima can be used in conjunction with fuels ranging from o.i%-3.5% in sulfur content, using ash-free neutralizing molecules chemistry to efficiently control wear, engine cleanliness and CaCO_3 deposits. According to Total Lubmarine, a deep sea vessel using Talusia Optima temporarily sailing in an ECA zone will have no need to change lubricant when it changes fuel. The lubricant's deposit control properties mean that the risks of cylinder oil film rupture or Selective Catalytic Converters and other newly developed engine components clogging are greatly reduced.
