Product Note:
FUEL ADDITIVE Combustion Improver Catalyst is a flexible way to optimize the use of heavy fuel oils and exhibits the following main properties:
-
Significantly reduces the amount of soot and unburnt hydrocarbons (more than 50%) formed during the combustion of heavy fuel oils
-
Allows reducing the excess air used during the combustion process
-
Improves the flame homogeneity and allows to achieve a more stable yield of combustion
-
Reduces deposits on heat transfer surfaces and consequently allows to achieve a more efficient heat transfer in the convection zone
-
Therefore, reduction in fuel consumption is achieved.
Advantages of Fuel Additive
-
Reduces the unburnt solids by at least 50%
-
Decreases emission of Black smoke & Co. Gas
-
Reduces NOx by at least 30%
-
Satisfies environmental considerations
Combustion Improver Catalyst must be stored and handled at ambient temperatures not lower than minus 3'C. Carbon Steel, stainless steel, polyethylene, polypropylene or Teflon may be used for construction of storage.
The recommended blending method is either by direct injection in the fuel line by a dosing pump or by addition into the fuel storage tank or in the tanker before decantation of the fuel.
Combustion Catalyst-cum-Stability Additive:
High Performance Multifunctional additive to solve Combustion and Sludge formation problems in fuel oil. Asphaltene + O2 C + CO + CO2 + H2O.
Because of the partial combustion, CO and C are not burnt completely. This additive makes the Asphaltenes break down and helps the molecules to burn easily to give more energy. Normally this additive is dosed @ 500 to 750 ppm. Blending should be done in main tanks or storage tanks or tank trucks. This is a blend of performance enhancers, and its functions are given below:
Disintegrates the existing sludge molecules into fine Asphaltene molecules.
Avoids formation of sludge and keeps the Asphaltenes in well dispersed state.
Combustion Catalyst breaks down the Asphaltenes into smaller molecules, helps these broken molecules to burn by catalyzing the tough step of carbon monoxide formation, thus improving the heavy fuel oil to burn better, release more heat and as a result, saves fuel.
Benefits of Using Fuel Additive Combustion Catalyst:
-
Increases speed of combustion of oil.
-
Accelerates combustion of unburnt hydrocarbons
Mechanical:
-
Reduces excess air requirement
-
Reduces heat loss through heat transfer
-
Enhances heat transfer efficiency
Economic Benefits:
-
Effects 3-4% fuel savings, and enhance life of equipment
-
Sludge converts into good oil. Saves time, effort, and labour by avoiding tank cleaning
Environmental Benefits:
-
Reduces smoke, soot and particulate matter in flue gas
-
Reduces NOx by at least 30%; avoids sludge formation and hence sludge handling difficulties.
Combustion Catalyst-cum-Ash Modifier Additive:
Added to the function of combustion improver, it reduces deposits in the high temperature zones of the thermic fluid heater / boiler so as to make the thermic fluid heater or the boiler operate on the peak capacity all the times. Avoids corrosion of heat exchanger tubes and premature failure of high temperature surfaces.
