The operational quality of heavy fuel oil has been declining for a number of years. Among the consequences of operating large engines with these declining quality fuels can be:
- Poorer quality combustion
- Decreased engine efficiency
- Increases in soot emissions
- Decreased efficiency of exhaust hardware (e.g., heat exchangers)
- Increased frequency of hardware cleaning and maintenance
- Exhaust tract soot build-up
- Risk of exhaust gas fires
Infineum has developed a combustion improver for residual fuel oil in marine and stationary engine applications that deliver benefits to marine fleet owners such as
- Improves fuel combustion
- Overcomes soot build up
- Ensures the efficiency of exhaust tract hardware (e.g., economizers, turbo charger blades and exhaust valves)
- Reduces the risk of exhaust tract fires
Environmental and handling benefits of the Infineum Combustion Improver include:
- Improved health, safety and environmental profile
- Safer handling
- Ready-to-use liquid form
- Readily blended in residual fuel
- Proven performance confirmed through engine testing
Infineum Combustion Improver offers a cost-effective solution to vessel operators in reducing both maintenance costs and vessel downtime.
