Technology to measure water in fuel will contribute to minimising costs associated with using methanol, reducing the barriers to shipping’s energy transition

Auramarine, the leading fuel supply systems pioneer for the marine industry and other sectors, has today announced the launch of its Auramarine Water Content Analyser (AM Water Content Analyser). The technology measures and reports the concentration of water in methanol, helping ship operators take preventive action to minimise associated risks and costs when using the fuel.

Mr. John Bergman, CEO of Auramarine, commented: “Methanol uptake is increasing across the industry due to its promising Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction credentials. At Auramarine, we’ve led the way in developing solutions that support the use of alternative fuels-starting with the industry’s first Methanol Fuel Supply Units in 2022. Now, with the launch of our AM Water Content Analyser, we’re giving ship owners and operators the tools they need to take the next step in their energy transition and bunker methanol with greater confidence, and importantly, at a lower cost.”
