DREW MARINE INTRODUCES IMPROVED DIESEL PERFORMANCE ANALYZER SENSOR
28 May 2003 - Ashland Inc
| Drew Marine, a business unit of Ashland Specialty Chemical Company, announced today the introduction of an improved fuel option sensor as an upgrade to its Diesel Performance Analyzer (DPA) product.

The new fuel option sensor eliminates the previously required high-pressure valve, thereby eliminating the possibility of valve leakage. A fuel option sensor is permanently mounted to each fuel pump, and requires only the plug-in cable to be moved from cylinder to cylinder. This reduces time moving between cylinders since fuel does not have to be cleaned during use. Drew Marine's new fuel option sensor avoids human errors associated with manual analysis and is available at lower cost than the earlier version. Prototypes of the sensor have been hydrostatically tested to 2,758 bar (40,000 psi) and witnessed by ABS, DNV and LR, as well as shipboard tested for operational performance. 'The new fuel option sensor offers a more cost-effective alternative, while it features fast response time and accurate fuel pressure diagrams,' notes Vladimir Grigorov, Drew Marine product manager. Drew Marine of Ashland Specialty Chemical Company is the leading supplier of specialty marine chemicals and water treatments for the global marine industry. Drew Marine also markets a wide range of technical products and services to support efficient vessel operations and maintenance. These include: specialty cleaners and maintenance products; corrosion inhibitors; welding, refrigeration and sealing products; engineered systems; energy management products; and fire fighting, safety and rescue products.
