Portable testing device for fuel sulfur content launched


Parker Kittiwake has launched the X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer (XRF), a portable testing device that, among other parameters, measures the sulfur content in fuel.


The XRF provides an accurate indication of sulfur content through the analysis of a small fuel sample in less than three minutes. This gives both shipowners and Port State Control (PSC) the ability to conduct laboratory-standard testing onsite before non-compliant fuel is bunkered and before a vessel carrying non-compliant fuel leaves port.

Enteron Sewage System launched by Mactra Marine


Mactra Marine Equipment has introduced the enteron sewage treatment system to the inland waterways market. The plant is said to be the smallest certified fully-biological plant for yachts and houseboats, approved by IMO, MARPOL and MED.


“The operation of our mini sewage treatment plant on board yachts and houseboats ensures complete independence from land-based waste management systems,” explained Mactra’s Jim MacDonald.


“The system consists of three chambers, an aerobic, anaerobic and another aerobic one. The pumps automatically come on twice a day for 15 seconds to pump the waste through with a bacteria-free liquid produced.


“It takes away the need to go to a pump-out station and is perfectly safe to be released into the waterway.”


The system is based on a human stomach and gut where bacteria are needed to aid digestion.


Waste is flushed into the first tank; solid particles settle and are treated with a macerator pump. More details at http://www.mactramarine.co.uk
