The shipping industry needs to cope with an evolving environment, where the sulphur content in heavy fuel oils (HFO) can vary significantly from one area to another, due to ECAs (Emissions Control Areas), crude oil availability and regional regulations. Talusia Universal is the solution for 2-stroke lubrication as it adapts efficiently to a wide range of operating conditions, including continuous operations with low sulphur heavy fuel oil (S ≤ 1 %).
Unique features
- Exceptional adaptability to different fuel oils
- Outstanding capacity to neutralize acids resulting from the fuel combustion process
A new technology
- Based on a patented Lubmarine formula
- Formulated with unique additives
Technical performance
- High detergency and dispersancy ensuring maximum engine cleanliness
- Excellent thermal stability preventing deposit formation
- Optimal resistance to oxidation and wear, ensuring minimal piston ring and liner wear.
Tested and Approved
Technological Development Talusia Universal was developed by a dedicated team of marine lubricants researchers in the Total Research & Development Centre at Solaize (France), and has undergone extensive in-house laboratory tests
Tests and Approvals
Talusia Universal has been tested and approved by MAN Diesel & Turbo, Wärtsilä and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for over 38,000 hours.
WorLdWide Premiere
Talusia Universal has successfully completed the first test with one of the world’s biggest container vessels running continuously on HFO with a sulphur content of less than 1%.*
* Over 4,200 hours, on Europe to Asia routes.
A single product, multiple benefits
Safety
Talusia Universal is the best solution for protecting engines:
- Avoiding failures resulting from a mismatch between the BN of the oil and the sulphur content of the HFO
- Preventing corrosion or deposits whether burning low or high sulphur fuels
- Providing better engine cleanliness than a BN 40 cylinder oil with low sulphur HFO.
Silplification
Talusia Universal eases onboard operations:
- Only one lubricant to manage on board, therefore only one tank is necessary.
- To be used with the standard settings of a conventional BN 70 cylinder oil.
Savings
Talusia Universal involves significant operational and cost savings:
- No remaining stocks of unused product when changing trading patterns.
- To be used with the same very low feed rates of BN 70 cylinder oils.
Since its launch in 2007, customers who have used Talusia Universal are highly satisfied with its proven performance and adaptability : their engines are still in excellent condition after tens of thousands of hours of operations.
