Versatile Lubricant For Varying Sulfur Levels: Total Lubmarine presents its Talusia Universal lubricant, fit for both low- and high-sulfur HFO

摘要

Nowadays ship operators are forced to face issues arising from the need to operate within emission control areas (EGAs) They must also, above all else, observe the highest standards of safety. As of July 1, 2010, the European EGAs' allowable sulfur limits in fuels burned by ships became strictly regulated. In heavy fuel oil (HFO), the sulfur limit was reduced from 1.5 to 1% and, according to the regulation, conventional BN 70 lubricants are not appropriate for that.
