Aquametro: Precision Fuel Monitoring for Emission Reduction

Since 1928, Aquametro Oil & Marine is active as manufacturer and supplier of measurement, optimization and monitoring solutions for all kinds of fluids on ships, vehicles and industrial applications.

Not least with an eye on the needs regarding the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), »accurate fuel consumption monitoring on vessels is essential for saving money and reducing emissions«, the company says. Aquametro’s flowmeters, Remote Monitoring System and Fuel Performance System can track fuel consumption and provide valuable data that can be analyzed to identify inefficiencies and optimize performance. Operators can thus take corrective measures to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

In addition, emissions can also be reduced using alternative fuels. By using Aquametro’s onboard fuel blending system GreenBLEND, it is already possible today to add by small efforts sustainable biofuels to ships which still mainly use conventional fuels such as HFO or MDO, and thus sustainably reduce CO2 emissions in shipping.

Already in 2023 EEXI and CII came into force. The measure currently used most frequently on the market to meet EEXI requirements seems to be the ship power limitation in form of engine power limitation (EPL) and/or shaft power limitation (SHaPoLi). »By measuring the shaft rpm, shaft torque and shaft power our Shaft Power Meter is a cost-effective solution that is key for measuring ship performance and fuel/propulsion efficiency. It stands as a key element in our Fuel Performance System that provides full transparency of all fuel and power parameters of the vessel operation process«, Aquametro says. The SHaPoLi Monitoring Display monitors the shaft power limit and in case of exceedance gives a visual and an acoustic signal. All data is automatically recorded in a tamper-proof manner.
