BUNKER FUEL - COMBUSTION CATALYST2008

Shellbourne’s Bunker Fuel Catalyst

Shellbourne’s bunker fuel catalyst is a complex mixture of organic chemicals compounded to become an effective combustion catalyst which is compatible with heavy fuel oils. When added to heavy fuel oils in the recommended quantities, the active ingredients decompose during the first stages of combustion to increase turbulence and oxidation characteristics within the flame zone. This process creates the possibility for attainment of proper fuel-air mixture with better oxidation and flame propagation. This oxidation is further enhanced by the iron catalyst which is released as the ingredients further decompose.

BENEFITS:

• Fuel Savings by as much as 4% to 8%.
• Smoke and soot reduction in flue gases.
• Reduction and/or elimination of waxing problems in holding tanks, delivery lines and fuel filters.
• Reduction and/or elimination of combustion residue build-up in firebox and on heat transfer surfaces.
• Enhanced flexibility of furnace and boiler operation by permitting the use of lower grades of fuels, if necessary; thus further reducing or controlling operating costs.
• Reduced damage and lowered scheduled cleaning to firebox linings caused by moisture and acidic deposits due to incomplete combustion and/or high sulfur and vanadium content fuels.
