SMM 2024: Martechnic Will Showcase its Innovative, Patent Pending Test Device “MT COOLANT CHECK”
2024-07-01
| The world’s leading maritime industry trade fair - SMM 2024 - will take place from the 3rd to 6th September. The global maritime community from over 120 countries will gather in Hamburg to take part in the exhibition and high-profile conferences to discuss the current challenges and opportunities of the maritime sector, to present state of the art technologies and innovative projects, as well as to exchange business ideas and cooperation. | ![]() |
As a Hamburg-based company, Martechnic is traditionally taking part in the event. We will be exhibiting at Hall A1, Stand 432 and share our booth with our partner companies as in previous years.

Martechnic will be showcasing its brand new, patent pending test device MT COOLANT CHECK developed for regular on-board engine coolant analysis in the global shipping sector and beyond. The innovative testing equipment differs substantially from traditional chemical-based approaches to coolant quality assessment. Instead of complex analysis of individual coolant parameters (chlorides, nitrite additives, pH etc.) by means of different chemicals, predominantly classified as hazardous products for the environment, the test device MT COOLANT CHECK utilizes chemical-free alternative measurement method. To determine the anti-corrosion effect of the engine coolant in use, the MT COOLANT CHECK offers just one single test of a small amount of coolant sample by means of the electrotechnical apparatus, with constant (corrosion resistant) and working/ changeable (corrosion-prone) electrodes in a simulated engine cooling system. No chemicals are required at all. All the evaluation is carried out fully automatically, delivering results in just 15 minutes. |

Due to its innovative and environmentally friendly engine coolant analysis, the MT COOLANT CHECK was recognized with 2024 and 2023 Ship Technology Excellence Awards in the categories “INNOVATION” and “ENVIRONMENTAL – DECARBONIZATION”.
Taking into account the decarbonization process of the shipping industry and development of different alternative fuel options, Martechnic invites all interested stakeholders to participate in the “Biofuel Think Tank” organized at the company’s exhibition stand. The usage of sustainable biofuels for marine shipping for minimization of the environmental impact as well as the problematic issues of biofuel properties and contaminants will be discussed. The focus will be given to the application of Martechnic’s testing equipment in on-board biofuel blends handling and management measures.
As we are currently in the process of testing different biofuel blends and determining key chemical parameters under specific fuel storage and operating conditions, we are looking for collaborations on biofuel research and testing!
