Smart-Marine is a pioneer in the maritime industry, boasting a team of individuals with extensive technical and operational experience from some of the world\u2019s leading maritime companies, such as MAN Energy Solutions and Maersk Line. This wealth of expertise enables Smart-Marine to deliver solutions that are both innovative and grounded in a deep understanding of the industry\u2019s needs and best practices. <\/p>\n
Its products include the Automatic Drain Cleaning System (ADCS) and Sludge Collecting Unit (SCU). ADCS has an environmental and oil saving impact on 2-stroke marine engines reducing wear on vital components and time spent on oil sampling.
ADCS also solves the problem of clogged cylinder bores and drainpipes on 2-stroke marine engines. On most large vessels clogged drainpipes are just accepted as a part of everyday life. Founder, CEO and CTO Thorbj\u00f8rn Thade Petersen says ACDS changes that, \u201cIt is hardly visible, but the effect is significant savings on fuel\/lube and the clean pipes improve combustion and working environment. ACDS has been thoroughly tested on MAN-ES 2-stroke engines, and the result of having augers continuously rotating and cleaning the pipes is striking. Almost immediately, we saw a reduced fuel consumption due to the engine operating at correct high Pmax and higher mechanical efficiency. The augers make it much faster to do samples for Scrape Down Analysis (SDA) and with more precise and instant iron readings, the system simply prevents unnecessary operational expenses\u201d. <\/p>\n
In addition, Smart-Marine notes that the faster and better SDA samples also reduce the use and optimize the dosage of cylinder lube oil. Saving both fuel and cylinder lube oil, the Automatic Drain Cleaning System reduces the CO2 impact of the vessel. <\/p>\n
