About us
Since 1928, Aquametro AG has been synonymous
with a tradition in meters, owing to generations of
quality products and the targeted provision of
applied solutions.
Awareness of the large variety of individual needs
we encounter around the world in business, ecology
and culture influences us on how we react. Our
closeness to the market is based on our continual
willingness to tread new waters to find the most
optimum solutions.
The experiences and competences acquired by
our employees in Switzerland, our subsidiaries
and representatives worldwide, are implemented
effectively on an every day basis.
Marine Division
The marine division of our company offers not
only flow measurement for marine diesel and
heavy fuel oil. The main focus is on fuel (moni-
toring) management systems and fuel condi-
tioning for fuel systems on board of vessels.
Innovative system components, communication
interfaces and analysis solutions pay off not only
when it comes to saving fuel. Convinced users
also appreciate the operating simplicity and the
sustainable learning effect of efficient fuel man-
agement and conditioning.
Confidence
Success needs reliance. Our customers appreci-
ate our proximity to them, with a single point of
contact, taking their demands and requirements
seriously. This makes us proud and guides our
actions. Customer satisfaction creates trust and
means success.

Optimize your ship
performance

Fuel prices are rising continuously, and ecological

awareness in the marine industry as well as in LAN
society as a whole is intensified. This combination
leads to more efforts to make shipping more ener- Fuel Performance
gy efficient – monitoring fuel consumption and Recorder
emissions are an integral part of this.

We provide the perfect fuel monitoring solution

for ocean going ships, as well as offshore vessels
and riverboats. The product portfolio ranges from
basic data collection up to fuel performance
analysis with historic data trending and reporting
functionality.

CONTOIL® VZO / VZF

With the CONTOIL® VZO and VZF series we
offer a modular system for direct and differen-
tial fuel consumption measurement for every
engine. The basic module of the CONTOIL®
series is tested and proven rotary piston meter,
which can be extended with a mechanical or
electronic totalisation unit. The electronic VZF
can be used with our fuel monitoring systems
for automated calculations. The extension "A"
stands for increased accuracy of 0.5% instead of
1%. Calibrated in pairs (supply and return), an
accuracy of 0.1-0.3% can be achieved.

Product features:
● Nominal diameters DN 15...50
● Temperature up to 180 °C
● Protection type IP 66

● No straight inlet and outlet necessary

● Special designs for pressures up to 40 bar

● Flow range from 10 to 20’000 l/h nominal flow

Viscosity controlling
measure, heat and control

Viscosity Control
Aquametro offers a robust viscosity sensor for
measuring the viscosity and density of the heavy
fuel oil before it enters the engine, as well as an
LCD viscosity controller that controls the motor
controlled 3-way valve to regulate the heaters.
This way, fuel is always heated to the tempera-
ture at which it can be injected with the optimal
viscosity, resulting in better combustion and
engine performance.

Product features:
Sensor
● Calibration range 0.5 to 100 cP

● Temperature up to 200 °C

● 2 analog outputs

● Protection type IP 66

● Power supply: 20...28 VDC

Controller
● Up to 2 relay and 2 analog outputs

● switchable controlling input (VC3xx)

● Power supply: 100...250 VAC

Valve
● Motor control valve diameters DN15…100

● Power supply: 100...250 VAC

Fuel switching
changeover and blending

Diesel Switch MK II
Aquametro proudly presents the first certified
(GL) Diesel Switch MKII, enabling convenient
switching between heavy fuel oil and marine
diesel. Automatic switching prevents human
error and damage by thermal shocks.

Furthermore, the Diesel Switch has the option

to blend the fuel to a set sulphur level, allowing
to operate the engine with the maximum
allowed sulfur level and save money.

Homogenizer
The Homogenizer improves the uniformity of
HFO and "water in fuel emulsion" to enhance the
combustion quality and to reduce emissions.
It operates on mechanical shearing and ultra-
sonic forces.

A high hydrodynamic power homogenizes the

high molecular asphaltenes, existing cat-fines
and remaining water into heavy fuel oil with a
maximum particle size of 5µm.

Product features:
● Nominal diameters DN 32...100 Product features:
● Fuel record book (blend or change over) ● Nominal capacity at 100 °C 5…25m3/h
● Optimized control algorithm ● Temperature max. 150 °C
 Shaft metering
measure your ship’s power

CONTthrust
Aquametro offers a state of the art shaft power
measurement system. This equipment is mount-
ed to the shaft, and measures the actual thrust
and torque delivered by the engine.

Knowing these forces is a great advantage,

because not only the engine performance can be
monitored, but also the ship’s efficiency as a
whole: propeller and hull, independent of sea
and weather conditions.

Product features:
● Shaft diameters DN 250...1000
● HD sensor technology

● long lifetime
● minimum maintenance
Fuel monitoring
Ocean vessels

CFM-S, FPR, FPM Client SW

and FPA
Like a spider at the centre of the fuel system
web, it collects all data, and makes it available
for reporting, or for display on the Fuel
Performance Analyzer (FPA), with historic data
trending, reporting functionality, documental
information and consumption averages of all
entered voyages.

The CFM-S is a simplified version of the FPR,

also a touch panel PLC, as basic model with
basic functionality but upgradable to FPR. A
new FPM Client Software with basic trending
of up to 6 hours, connected with CFM-S and
FPR, can be installed on any PC on board to
display the immediate past.

Product features:
CFM-S
● low installation cost

● upgradeable

FPR
● high accuracy

● multiple signals in one tool

● full transparency

FPM Client SW
● basic trends

● data logging for reports

FPA
● voyage management

● consumption overview

● reporting
 Tug- and river boats

Contoil Fuel
Monitor-Tug: CFM-T

The CFM-T is the ideal solution for offshore

vessels and riverboats, typically with multiple
engines running on Diesel oil. Offshore and
supply vessels, workboats and tugboats can
manage their bunkering and fuel consumption
for each individual engine conveniently.

The CFM-T is the center point for different flow

meters for up to 8 engines. It collects and
stores all data, and makes it available for
reporting.

Board Computer DFM-BC
The DFM-BC offers a simple plug-and-play
solution to display fuel consumption.
Any two flow meters can be connected to the
board computer, which displays total, trip and
current consumption.
The basic version consists of a PLC with dis-
play. Optionally, rpm and running hours as
well as a panel-PC can be added to show
graphically consumption and other properties,
for optimized visualization of performance.

Product features:
● Power supply 12-24VDC
● quick and easy installation
● no extra maintenance

Product features:
● Power supply 24VDC
● up to 8 engines in 1 system
● tamper proof measurement
