Large, medium, or extremely large marine diesel engines with high efficiency and low-quality fuel combustion are the three categories. Slow-speed engines are two-strokes with a crosshead connecting the separate combustion chamber and sump, which are individually lubricated with system and trunk oil.
Medium-speed diesel vehicles have a single lubricant and follow standard automobile architecture. Heavy fuel oil used in slow-moving engines is of significantly worse quality than standard diesel and has issues with oxidation, development of acidity, and clean deposits. The majority of lubricants are monogrades made with paraffinic base-stocks.
Detergents/dispersants, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear/load-carrying/ep, pour-point depressants, and antifoam chemicals are the primary categories of additives.
Due to the great variety of engine design, ratings, and service applications they serve, there are no straightforward systems for classifying marine lubricants, as there are for automotive lubricants.
Regular lubricant analyses protect engines and call for standardised sampling techniques before determining the contents of water, wear metals, insolubles, and base numbers as well as density, viscosity, and flash point.
The India Marine Lubricants Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
A lubricant line and two new marine fuel grades were introduced by IndianOil at the Bunker, a recent international bunker meet held in Mumbai.
With IMO, the new International Maritime Standard, regulation reducing the sulphur level, the new range of gasoline classes are compliant. In order to work with low-sulphur IMO fuels, the new range lubricants have been carefully designed with lower reserve alkalinity.
