The Problem
Your liner is wearing right now.
The lab report arrives next week.
Cylinder lubrication is one of the most critical elements in the performance of large two-stroke marine engines. But current scrape oil testing workflows create blind spots that cost you time, money, and engine life.
Time delay
Sending samples to shore labs takes days to weeks. By the time results return, the engine has logged hundreds of running hours under unknown wear conditions.
No correlation
Lab results arrive disconnected from the exact engine operating conditions at the time of sampling. You see the number — but can’t link it to load, speed, or fuel quality at that moment.
No feedback loop
Changes to lubrication rate or oil quality are never tracked against their actual wear impact. You adjust blind, hope for the best, and wait weeks to see if it worked.
IRIS closes the loop. Test on deck. Read in one second. Adjust immediately. Verify the impact.
How It Works
Five steps. No lab required.
No sample prep. No chemicals. No skilled lab techs. Any crew member can run the test during normal operations — zero downtime.
1
Draw Sample
Collect 2 mL of oil using the supplied sample vial. That’s it.
2
Insert Vial
Place the vial into the IRIS detection port. No alignment, no calibration needed.
3
Instant Reading
Ferrous particle concentration displayed instantly in mg/L or ppm on the 5-inch touchscreen.
4
Store & Export
Save to the built-in data logger. Export via USB or print results immediately.
5
Trend Over Time
View historical wear trends to detect gradual degradation before it becomes critical.
No sample prep. No lab dependency. Field-ready insights.
Capabilities
What makes IRIS different.
Built for engine rooms, not laboratories. IRIS puts diagnostic capability directly in the hands of the crew — with accuracy validated against shore lab results.
⚡
10× Faster Than Lab
Results in one second versus days or weeks waiting for shore lab reports. Decisions happen when they matter — not after the fact.
👷
Empowers Crew
No skilled lab technicians required. Any crew member can operate the 5-inch touchscreen interface and run diagnostics during normal watch routines.
⏱
Zero Downtime
Analyze during normal engine operations. No need to stop, slow down, or take equipment offline. Test while the engine runs.
🔔
Event-Based Testing
Crew can test immediately after key events — load changes, lube oil switches, suspected liner issues — and see the impact in real time instead of waiting for the next scheduled lab sample.
🔄
Closed-Loop Optimization
Every CLO adjustment can be immediately validated through measured wear levels. Change the feed rate, test, see the result. A practical, data-driven feedback loop that shore labs can never provide.
🛡
Fleet-Wide Decision Making
Enables proactive maintenance actions rather than reactive overhauls. Helps prevent liner scuffing, cold corrosion, and excessive wear across the entire fleet with consistent, comparable data.
Verification
Validated against the lab.
IRIS has been benchmarked against certified shore laboratory results across a range of ferrous content levels. The data confirms field-grade accuracy in the ranges that matter most for operational decisions.
~8%
Average Variation vs. Lab
Consistent trending across both methods. Deviations observed only at very low ppm ranges where operational relevance is limited.
30–100
ppm Sweet Spot
In the 30–100 ppm range — the most operationally critical zone for scrape oil analysis — deviation between IRIS and lab is minimal.
0–100
ppm Validated Accuracy
IRIS demonstrates valid accuracy across the full 0–100 ppm range, covering the entire operational window for scrape oil diagnostics on two-stroke engines.
CLO Optimization
Reduce cylinder oil costs
by $41,000 a year.
Continuous Fe content monitoring enables optimized reduction of CLO injection based on actual operating conditions — not schedules or guesswork.

From a reduction of just 0.1 g/kWh in CLO feed rate — validated through continuous Fe monitoring
Example: Large 2-stroke main engine (MAN B&W 6S70ME-C) · 15,000 kW · 300 sailing days/year · CLO at $3.50/litre. Actual savings depend on engine type, operating profile, and baseline feed rate.
