Power Plant Laboratory


Diesel Fuel Power Plant Laboratory FG-K1-600-KW

Operating a diesel fuel power plant is a great responsibility and is especially difficult in remote locations. Efficient operation requires a programme of diesel fuel lubricity testing, reliable oil testing equipment, trained staff and the highest attention to quality control during daily operation. The diesel fuel and lubricating oil form a major cost element in the operation of every power plant and the & quality must be closely monitored.

The Diesel Fuel Power Plant Laboratory, as specified by Wärtsilä, is a self contained testing station providing all of the equpipment needed for analysis on site. It provides a single, comprehensive solution for diesel fuel lubricity testing and fuel oil analysis and includes:

Sampling fuel oil during delivery.


Testing the fuel oil before use and sampling the lubricating oil during use.


Testing the lubricating oil for contamination and degradation.


Linking the test results in with traditional laboratory based analysis programs.


Training maintenance staff on the equipment and how to use the information.



Oil Tests

The Oil tests are easy to perform and provide laboratory grade results. The following equipment is supplied:

Viscosity Test
(electronic) for fuel & lube oils


Total Base Number (TBN)
(electronic) for fuel & lube oils


Insolubles in Oil Test
(electronic) for fuel & lube oils


Pour Point
(manual) for fuel oils


Water in Oil
(electronic) for fuel & lube oils

Density Meter
(electronic) for fuel oils


Salt Water Contamination
(manual) for fuel & lube oils


Fuel Oil Compatibility
(optional extra) (electronic) for fuel oils





Features:

Housed in its own robust metal case - designed for use in harsh environments. Very easy to clean and store.


A self contained suite of equipment, purpose designed for reliable and accurate fuel and lube oil condition monitoring.


Easy and quick to use - suitable for non-technical personnel. Comes complete with a comprehensive instruction manual and training CD.


Complements the Kittiwake range of sampling equipment. Replacement reagents or additional test equipment easily available and can be shipped at short notice.
