Product Performance

Fuel Economy
Depending on the size and condition of the equipment, there is an improvement in the fuel economy in the range of 4% to 10%, which makes the Fuel Business products very cost-effective. Savings in maintenance costs and reduced exhaust emissions are therefore available to the customer at no additional cost.

Emissions
By using Fuel Business products in their fuel, companies have solved their smoke and emissions problems, which has had a beneficial effect on the environment and people's health.

Engine Performance
FB products can improve the engine torque output. In the following chart, an increased torque with fuel treated by FB product is compared with the performance of the same engine (350 Cummins diesel) using untreated fuel.

Engine Maintenance
FB products significantly facilitate equipment maintenance during all stages of the combustion process. As a pre-burner conditioner, the solvent carrier in the FB product cleans fuel tanks, lines and pumps. In the combustion chamber, FB product minimizes engine damage by reducing deposits of carbon and vanadium. As a result, cylinder heads, pistons, and other integral parts can be wiped clean with only a soft cloth. In the exhaust system, the FB product keeps turbochargers and exhaust manifolds free of soot and carbon build-up.

The significant improvement in engine condition has a benefit on engine life with less equipment downtime.

This graph shows the reduced maintenance when using FB products (393 Caterpillar diesel engine). it also shows the variation in fuel consumption during the life of an engine before rebuild. Point A shows how the fuel consumption can differ as little as 4%, and point B shows that it can differ as much as 15%.

Boiler Maintenance
FB products facilitate the mainstream of boilers in three stages of operation. As a pre-burner conditioner, the colvent carrier in the product maintains clean filters and protects the life of fuel pumps by keeping fuel tanks and lines free of sludge. FB Products also keeps injectors and nozzles clean thus preventing them from seizing and fouling. In the addition, FB products limit corrosion damage by minimizing the production of vanadium pentoxide.

After the fuel is treated, FB product enables burner adjustments to be made and allow the boiler to operate with lower excess air, thereby reducing heat losses and increasing the heat recovery effectiveness of the boiler. Tube blowing frequency is reduced. With the reduction of carbon build-up on tubes and other areas, annual maintenance scheduling can be extended six months or longer beyond the normal maintenance inspection period.
