The chart below shows a voyage through the Suez Canal. Spikes of slightly higher iron are indicated during maneuvering in and out of the locks, with normal levels during the rest of the voyage.
The chart below shows a main engine with sensor on all ten cylinders. High Ferrous Iron levels were noticed after inspection on two cylinders. However, the Iron level dropped below 500 ppm after about 9 hours.
The chart below shows the main engine on a container ship with four sensors installed. Significantly increased iron levels are seen on cylinder one as a result of a recent overhaul (continuation of the embedding process).

ANALEXrs Total Ferrous Debris Sensor for Scrapedown Applications
Did you know that the average vessel cost for cylinder oil for a vessel is around 3 Million Euros! Significant? Certainly!! Would you like to decrease the usage of lubricating oils based on the wear levels in the liner?
The ANALEXrs Total Ferrous Debris Sensor is unique in that it is the only equipment and testing process that provides an early indication of engine failure. The sensor also immediately highlights the location and severity of any wear problems. It shows whether they are catastrophic or more gradual. To an engineer, this allows extrapolation of the machinery condition trend to a point in time where failure may be predicted.
Throughout the field testing, the ANALEXrs Total Ferrous Debris Sensor prototype had detected and measured iron content, including sudden high ferrous wear, attributed to catalyst fines in the fuel. The unit had been totally proven against laboratory analysis and final modifications have now been made to make the product available to the marine community.
