FOA-55HD® (HEAVY DUTY FUEL OIL ADDITIVE) FOA-55HD® Fuel Oil Additive FOA-55HD® 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. An informative performance report has been compiled describing FOA-55HD® as a Total Additive Package for Fuel Oil Applications.
