TALUSIA OPTIMA

A simple solution in A complex environmentTough times ” New technologies,Ship operators are facing an ever more complex new regulations,environment. New regulations, new technologies, and ”new fuelsnew fuels mean tougher operational constraints andmore crew stress. Compliance costs are far fromnegligible, especially when vessel earnings aredepressed.Selecting the right lubricant is no simple undertaking.Suppliers have reacted to regulatory, technical andoperational changes by widening their cylinder oil ranges.Today it is trickier than ever before to select the right lube.How can you be certain you are making the right decisionwhen a mistake may cost millions of dollars? At TOTAL LUBMARINE, we aim at simplifying ship operators’ daily operations by providing flexibility and cost effectiveness through innovative products and services. Pioneer of the single oil concept, we have pushed our R&D further and have used brand new chemistry to create TALUSIA OPTIMA, the new generation single oil that powers efficiency.

tAlusiA optimATALUSIA OPTIMA is a BN 100 Marine Cylinder OEM WinGD (Wärtsilä) has issued a Letter ofLubricant suitable for the most demanding Tier III No-Objection for the use of TALUSIAtwo-stroke engines and for operations with fuels OPTIMA with its entire two-stroke enginewith a sulphur content range of 0.0 to 3.5%. This range. MAN Diesel & Turbo has issued aground-breaking lubricant was developed provisional No-Objection letter as a field test isthrough intensive R&D at our renowned Solaize still ongoing. This follows challenging sea trialsResearch Center. of more than 4000 running hours using a wide variety of fuels ranging from 0.0 to 3.5% in sulphur content. TALUSIA OPTIMA has been formulated using a unique and patented technology known as Ashfree Neutralizing Molecules (ANM) which provides fast and effective acid neutralization without any undesired mineral deposit build up. High quality mineral components are used in combination with ANM to provide detergency and cleanliness.

outstAnDinG perFormAnceTested and challengedTALUSIA OPTIMA has been rigorously tested,undergoing thorough sea-trials and stringent labtesting.• TALUSIA OPTIMA is proven to neutralize acidity faster and more effectively compared to a BN 100 conventional Marine Cylinder Lubricant.• Resistance to adhesive wear is proven to be better than that of conventional BN 100 cylinder lube oil and piston coating wear rate improved by 30%.• Thermal resistance and detergency properties of TALUSIA OPTIMA are higher than those of a conventional BN 100 lubricant. Following sea trials, the final engine inspections found perfect piston and liner cleanliness.• When used in combination with distillate fuels with less than 0.1% sulphur content, ring packs and piston top lands were found to be free of hard deposits.• Frequent and regular drain oil analysis during sea trials showed residual BN was always higher than that of conventional lubricants and total iron content always lower without any hard ash deposit formation. ”Perfect piston and liner ”cleanliness
