Hello Guy:

Absolutely. The reason they are being overlooked is that there have been so many broken promises made in the past by less than reputable companies promoting after market additives/fuel treatments.

I can count on one hand the number of reputable additive companies in the world and our company, Power Research, is one of them.

Five weeks agao we completed stationary engine testing at MAN B&W test facility in Denmark. I will have it on MAN letter head in the next two weeks. I already know the results and will share them with you when they come in. Have a great day.

Hello All,

Two tested and proven fuel additives are Omstar D-1280-X and B-15.
These fluid technologies clean and greatly increase the lubricity of diesel engines, power generators and marine engines. The results are greater engine power, increased MPG and reduced emissions.

In addition the Mrine World now can reduce asphalting by as much as 80%. For those who run ships this is a tremendous break through. In addition the PPM performance is 70% better than those required by the EPA and the ARB. A major shipping line is testing the technology.

Ships can run the robusk bunker disel fuel at a much reduced emission level. If the ships emmisions levels are lower than those required by the government, must that ship swith to low sulfur diesel fuels at the 40 mile marker from the port?

There is no need for ships to replace engines, be retrofitted or forced to use ineffective fuels. This strategy has been employed to address diesel trucks with minimal success.

The world has made it clear that we must lower emissions and conduct business. This is not an either or situation.

Kind regards

Guy,

Thank you for inviting me to your forum.

Skepticism of the ‘additive’ market has unfortunately been earned over time, however, where there is smoke (and mirrors) there usually is fire, and the effective products bear the burden of the less effective. The fuel industry uses additives in every engineered blend, yet usually only to the minimum required standard.

We at Xtendercorp have focused our expertise on the bunker/heavy fuel industry because our experience has shown any fuel can be made to burn more cleanly and efficiently.

I will leave most of the details to an article you suggested I write, but suffice it to say, where New Technology is definitely needed to resolve the long-term issues the marine industry faces, specific additives can play a big roll as part of the solution, right now, by greatly improving a companies fleet economy and environmental footprint, at a net cost far lower than the return in fuel savings alone.

I look forward to more conversations here.

Sincerely,

Hello Guy


A six month fuel additive test with a major shipline is near completion. I will publish the results at that time. All of the preliminary feedback is very exciting. The reduction in emissions is significant. The ashpalting reductions are large.

This should be a major step forward for the shipping industry. The technology works well. It is easily deployable to the masses. The technology is economically desirable.


Guy, Tell me what you think?

Thank you

Ralph - I think a lot of people will be interested in your test results, particularly after such a long test period.

Hello Guy,

The discussion about reducing emissions in the marine industry is growing stronger every day. Most fuel additive companies have been claiming for a long time that their products will reduce emissions, but this has never been a successful marketing strategy until recently. Some ship owners have recently started to look into this because they know that some sort of regulation is inevitable in the near future.

A carefully chosen fuel additive, like Aderco 2050, is a quick and easy way to reduce emission from burning heavy fuel, but by how much? This is the major obstacle we are facing right now. Our most important test was made on sister ships, for 1 year, where one ship was supplied with Aderco additive. Most of the results relate to the ship's performance, which is directly linked with emissions and fuel economy. We can see major improvements in phases of pre and post combustion and significant fuel savings. The test report is given below.

To conclude, a good fuel additive is a realistic solution to reducing emissions for 3 major reasons: better combustion of poor quality fuel, reduction of sludge waste and slower degradation of mechanical performance.
