Why Choose iris
Revolutionizing Oil Analysis:
The BIDSOL unit automates the critical titration process using ASTM D4739 HCL titration, which accurately measures the oil’s Total Base Number (TBN). This method has long been an industry standard for assessing the oil’s capacity to neutralize acids, an essential measure of oil condition. Traditionally, this titration is a manual, meticulous task that can introduce variability with each testing instance. With SOTUS, however, the process is not only hands-free but precision-calibrated for reliability, removing variability and ensuring that results are consistent each time.
Navigating the Seas with Precision:
BIDSOL’s technology is the result of cutting-edge engineering, meticulously designed to meet the demanding conditions aboard ships. Each unit features a robust interface and integrates seamlessly into existing monitoring setups, providing real-time, on-demand TBN analysis that feeds directly into the ship’s data ecosystem. By eliminating human error from oil testing, SOTUS provides peace of mind for operators and creates a foundation for predictive maintenance, reducing the risk of costly engine issues while enabling optimal performance.
Empowering Ship Owners:
Ship owners gain a significant advantage with BIOS. Reliable and automated, this tool transforms lube oil testing from a manual process into a strategic asset, delivering vital data that drives smarter, more proactive maintenance decisions.
