Analytical Services &

Materials

Analytical Services & Materials (AS&M) is a high-tech company serv- ing the needs of the marine indus- try in the areas of fuel testing, fail- ure analysis, lube oil testing, de- structive and non-destructive test- ing, consulting and more. AS&M was one of the first few petroleum testing labs in the U.S. to earn ISO 9002 certification. AS&M is also a participant in the Joint Oil Analysis

Program (JOAP) run by the Depart- ment of Defense to assess lab perfor- mance. AS&M has developed unique software based on statistical analy- ses of fuel quality parameters, termed Engine Friendliness Num- ber (EFN). The AS&M analysis report provides this EFN, which provides a benchmark on a scale of 0 to 100, rating the quality of fuel from the point of view of reduced maintenance, reduced corrosion and wear.

Enviro Response

Products

Manufactured from LM6 corro- sion resistant aluminum alloy, the

De-Bug Fuel Treatment Unit was developed by a consortium of fuel injection specialists, marine survey- ors and engineers to control micro- bial infestations in diesel fuels and oils. The De-Bug Fuel Treatment

Unit is a static treatment unit, not a filter. Fuel is passed through the

De-Bug unit before it reaches the lift pump, through a magnetic field for a controlled length of time. As the microbes pass through the magnetic field, they disrupt and die. The bodies burn cleanly with the fuel.

According to the manufacturer, us- ers will benefit in terms of less down- time, better combustion, enhanced fuel economy, reduced harmful emis- sions, less maintenance and lower filter costs. De-Bug caters to low rates of up to 5,000 gph.
