VAF Instruments products

The use of a T-Sense torque measuring system means efficiency improvement, overload protection and prevention of breakdown costs. For example, in shipping industry its application has led in some cases to fuel savings up to 5%. The T-Sense® measuring system is based on optical displacement technology and can be mounted around propeller or drive shafts.

VAF Instruments positive displacement liquid Flowmeters are the most accurate volumetric measurement system for your installation. Highly accurate measurements for a wide range of liquids from low-density to vicious petrochemical products.  The volumetric measurement systems are used in continuous metering applications, in-line blending processes, metered deliveries as well as for batching applications, such as the filling of containers and storage tanks. VAF`s range of products covers flow rates from 1 litre/hour up to 960 m3/hour.

Most of the operating costs of a ship are fuel related. Therefore it is very important to use fuel in the most efficient way. Calculated Carbon Aromaticity Index (CCAI) is the index for the ignition quality of residual fuel oil and is calculated from density and viscosity of the fuel. The measurement and control of the viscosity and density ensures an improved combustion efficiency preventing engine damage, reducing cost of maintenance and minimizing the greenhouse gas emissions.

For the continuous on-line monitoring of discharge water during de-ballasting operations, VAF Instruments is one of world`s main suppliers. The Oilcon^® Mark 6 Oil Discharge Monitoring & Control Systems are more reliable and more accurate than any other monitoring & control system. It is suitable for all ballast and slop water discharges and meets the bio fuel requirements MEPC 108(49) and 240(65).
