International  \nWorldwide marine and offshore services  \nStar Fuel Testing and Treatment Solutions  \nA turnkey fuel stewardship solution for shipping, cruise, ferry and yacht operators  \nStar International-Worldwide marine and offshore services  \nThe Star marine fuel testing and treatment range provides a turnkey stewardship solution for users of marine diesel fuels and low sulphur alternatives. The range has been developed specifically for shipping operators requiring an effective means to measure and manage fuel quality, in port and at sea.  \nThe Star Mariner fuel stewardship range has been developed in response to the International Maritime Association's (IMO's) 2020 regulations. It supports operators in meeting regulatory requirements and in safeguarding assets from the risks associated with using low sulphur, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) based alternative fuels.  \nStar International’s range of fuel stewardship products allow operators to validate fuel composition and quality and provides treatment additives to tackle any contamination identified.  \nThe range includes the following on-board solutions:  \n• Star XRF onboard sulphur tester  \nAn on-board analyser that confirms sulphur content in fuel within a range of 0.1% – 5.0%, allowing validation of fuel for vessels operating within and outside of designated Emission Control Areas (ECAs) .  \n• Star FUELSTAT contamination test kit  \nAn on-board testing solution that detects Hormoconis resinae (diesel bug), bacteria, fungi and yeast contaminants in as little as 10 minutes.  \n• Star Mariner fuel treatment additives  \nA range of fuel treatment additives that are effective with Marine Gas Oils (MGOs) and low sulphur alternatives, acting to neutralise and prevent contamination, improve shelf life and counter temperature induced coagulation.  \nTurnkey fuel stewardship  \nFuel sulphur content testing  \nFuel coagulant treatment and stabiliser   \nFuel contamination  testing  \nFuel contamination treatment  \nMarine fuel contamination and the benefits of proactive fuel stewardship  \nFuel contamination is a persistent problem for shipping operators and can be enhanced at every stage of fuel production, distribution, storage and in the fuel systems of end users.  \nContaminants including microbiocidal growth, Hormoconis resinae (diesel bug), fungi, yeasts and water can all infiltrate fuel, potentially rendering the supply useless if left untreated.  \nCommon symptoms of fuel contamination include:  \n• Clogged fuel filters / shorter fuel filter life  \n• Failing fuel pumps  \n• Partial / complete injector failure  \n• Abnormal / accelerated piston ring wear  \n• Fuel tank erosion  \n• Increased fuel consumption  \n• Loss of engine power  \n• Increased exhaust smoking  \n• Engine failure  \nA proactive fuel stewardship strategy enables operators to accurately monitor the composition and quality of diesel oil. On-board testing identifies any problems at the point of refuelling and at sea, meaning contamination risks can be minimised and suppliers held to account.  \nUnnecessary downtime and damage to hardware can be minimised and potentially costly fines resulting from regulatory non-conformities avoided.  \nStar International-Worldwide marine and offshore services  \nFrom January 2020, new regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will dramatically reduce the permitted sulphur content in marine fuels from 3.5% to 0.5% . The IMO 2020 limit will apply to fuel oil used on ships operating outside designated ECA's and is intended to reduce environmental impacts resulting from exhaust emissions.  \nIn order to adhere to IMO 2020, many fuel producers will turn to blended fuel oils containing Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) to create complaint biofuel alternatives. While this option does achieve a lower sulphur content, the use of FAME fuels also increases the risk of free water, creates favourable conditions for the development of microbial contamination and lowers the lubrici","cbCaik67LjLOpfOP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik67LjLOpfOP","pdf",2470253,"English","# Turnkey fuel stewardship solutions\n## On-board solutions and key products\n## Fuel contamination: causes, symptoms and benefits of proactive stewardship\n## IMO 2020 regulations and compliance approach\n## XRF onboard sulphur tester and key benefits","[{\"question\":\"What does Star Fuel Testing and Treatment Solutions provide for marine operators?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a turnkey fuel stewardship solution that measures and manages fuel quality, including onboard testing and treatment additives to address contamination.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the range support IMO 2020 compliance?\",\"answer\":\"It enables fast, accurate sulphur testing and provides data to ensure fuels meet IMO 2020 sulphur limits, including for fuels used inside and outside Emission Control Areas.\"},{\"question\":\"What risks does proactive fuel stewardship help reduce?\",\"answer\":\"It helps minimise contamination risks across the supply chain, reducing unnecessary downtime and potential damage to hardware, and helps avoid costly fines from regulatory non-conformities.\"}]","Star Fuel Testing and Treatment Solutions - A Turnkey Fuel Stewardship Solution | PDF",18]
