Industrial Fuel Additive Benefits
The benefits of industrial fuel additives are proven and clear ... FPC will simply reduce both operating costs and carbon emissions.
Improved Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is the initial benefit realised from FPC use. Since the action of the FPC catalyst causes fuel to burn more efficiently, more power is released per unit volume of fuel. Therefore, less fuel is required at a particular load setting.
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), AAR (American Association of Railroads) and other recognised testing procedures have documented a 2% to 8% reduction in fuel consumption with FPC. These findings continue to be substantiated in field testing using engineering standard tests, Specific Fuel Consumption and AS2077-1982 Carbon Mass Balance.
Less Pollution
Although difficult to relate to actual cost savings, pollutant reduction is a major benefit of FPC use. US EPA tests have verified a marked reduction in carbon monoxide (CO) emissions with FPC treated fuel. Field studies show smoke (particulate) emissions are also reduced by up to 50% due to increased combustion efficiency provided by FPC.
Less Maintenance
Improved fuel efficiency means a significant reduction in the products of incomplete combustion, ie soot, varnish, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons. Hard carbon deposits are the cause of many major maintenance problems. Their reduction or removal provides a significant maintenance saving and reduction of wear on engine parts such as pistons, valve stems, cylinder liners and injector tips. Such carbon deposits as occur in engines using FPC are soft and can be wiped off with a cloth.
Oil contamination is lessened.
Downtime for maintenance is reduced by FPC. Engines burning treated fuel have a significantly extended life between overhauls.
What is FPC?
FPC is a chemical specifically designed to promote a more efficient burn of hydrocarbon fuels. Most other fuel additives on the market today are designed to treat symptoms of incomplete combustion. For example, many additives are detergents which peptise and remove engine carbon deposits.
By contrast FPC acts upon the combustion process itself, reducing many of the problems related to incomplete combustion thus eliminating the need for additives that treat symptoms only.
FPC is an iron based organo-metallic catalyst which blends readily with any liquid hydrocarbon fuel. Molecules of ferrous picrate act as flame initiators within the fuel at the instant of ignition. The result is faster flame propagation in the combustion chamber and a reduction in the time required to burn the fuel. Combustion is more uniform with more of the fuel being converted to motive energy. This improves power, fuel economy and reduces problems associated with incomplete combustion. Significant reductions in smoke and greenhouse gas emissions are also realised. Fuel efficiencies of 2–8% are generally realised following fuel treatment with FPC.
Example: A corporation spending $22.5m annually on fuel would save $992,000 with FPC
FPC catalyst causes fuel to burn more efficiently resulting in more power per unit volume of fuel being released along with cleaner combustion spaces. Photo depicts head and valves following 8,000 hrs running on FPC treated fuel. (note cleanliness and lack of carbon deposits)
Example: A corporation can reduce carbon emissions by 5% with FPC
Example: A corporation would reduce fuel consumption by 1.25m litres with FPC
