1. Fuel incompatibility
Challenges
When commingling two fuel oils, the different origins of crude oil
and refining method create chemical conflicts – centred around
asphaltene behaviour.
Solution
Aderco 2055G has proven to reduce fuel incompatibility from 5 to
3 on drop test method ASTM D4740 - test on RMG 380.
2. Fuel stability
Challenges
A stable fuel oil is a fuel where heavy aromatic hydrocarbon
(asphaltenes) remain as suspension in the fuel matrix.
Reserve stability test according to Turbiscan method – ASRM
D7061 delivers precise measurements.
Solution
Aderco 2055G has proven to improve fuel stability by 65% - test
on RMG 380.
3. Catfines
Challenges
Catalytic fines are abrasive particles and can be found at
a concentration of max 60 ppm - ISO 8217 – 2010 and
next updates.
Catfines are hydrophilic.
Solutions
Aderco 2055G breaks down water emulsion due to its
concentrated surfactant properties.
This allows the water & Catfines to drain efficiently both in
the settling tanks and at the purifiers level, thus preserving
your injection system and engine parts from abrasion.
Tested in independent laboratory and on real-life shipping
cases.
