BOB (SEA-Mate) is a product with an innovative concept compared to the conventional marine engine lubrication system
Use system oil as cylinder oil or a mixture of high BN cylinder oil and system oil
Instead of using BN additive, BN Cyl. Oil
System Oil maintains Optimal neutralization performance in combustion chamber
System Oil : M/E System Oil, G/E System Oil
Benefit of BOB
Cost reduction / Efficiency improvement / Energy saving / Air environment protection
- Fuel saving: 0.5 to 1.5% - Maersk Line 1.5%, power plant verification 0.5%
- Reduces lubricant consumption by more than 40% - Many shipping companies respond by increasing feed rate control because it is difficult for BN to respond flexibly [Maker recommended operation possible] - Savings through cylinder oil management from feed rate control to BN control
- Spare part & Maintenance cost reduction - Maintaining oil film at the level of new oil - Reduced machine failure rate and extended lifespan by reducing pollutants - 'M' company verification result confirmed that it was extended more than twice
- Reduce the cost of waste oil treatment - MSO, GSO no lubricating oil wasted
- Reduced air emissions due to reduced fuel and lubricant consumption
Improved engine reliability
- Improvement of machine efficiency by new oil operation of system oil
- Improved reliability of electronic control function - 80~90% reduction in failure rate due to contamination of system oil used for electronic control
- Reduces excessive liner wear and piston abnormal damage through optimal low-temperature corrosion prevention - Prevention of low-temperature corrosion due to low engine load operation [Recently, the main cause of excessive/abnormal wear is many problems caused by low-temperature corrosion rather than lubrication performance]

- Cyl. Oils and system Oils Tables 3, 4 and 5 list major international Cyl. Oil and system Oil brands tested in service with acceptable results, and which have passed the No Objection Letter (NOL) testing procedure with acceptable results. Do not consider these lists to be complete, as other Cyl. and system Oils, with NOLs from MAN Energy Solutions, can be equally suitable. Further information can be obtained by contacting MAN Energy Solutions in Copenhagen.
