INTRODUCTION
Fuel Oil Additive-55 is a total additive package
combining the latest petroleum technology advances for improving fuel oil quality. The additive is composed of ashless, nonmetallic,
organic surface active polymeric amine compounds based on nitrogen chemistry.
FOA-55HD is
specifically formulated to improve fuel oil atomization and combustion efficiency, retard
system sludge, reduce soot and fireside deposits, and inhibit pre-combustion and
post-combustion corrosion. FOA-55HD is the only treatment required for fuel oil storage,
supply, filtering and burner systems.
The
treatment has been used effectively in both light and heavy fuel oil applications with
reductions of 3 to 7 percent in fuel oil consumption (cost per pound of steam). The treatment allows boilers and furnaces to be
operated more closely to their optimum performance settings to maximize energy utilization
and lower overall operating costs.
FOA-55HD
exhibits a high tolerance to water and system condensation to help prevent the
emulsification of water with fuel oil. By
dropping the water to the bottom of the storage tank, many of the problems associated with
water in a fuel oil system will be eliminated.
FOA-55HD is
readily miscible and will remain in suspension to insure proper protection and stability
during long term storage. The antioxidants in
FOA-55HD help prevent tank scale and rust deposits
inherent with long term fuel oil storage.
FOA-55HD is
surface active and will reduce fuel oil surface tension to allow finer atomization and
induce more rapid and more complete combustion with lower excess air. The additive compounds are adsorbed by metallic
surfaces, and provide a buffer which helps keep oxides from adhering to the surfaces. The additive compounds will cause existing oxide
deposits to loosen and flake off or scavenge from the system more readily, thus improving
heat transfer and lowering stack losses.
