PT-FUEL OIL - Additional Information

When PT-Fuel Oil is added to fuel oil, the first action is to upgrade the fuel. If any incompatibility exists, the fuel becomes stabilized. Any sediment present is reduced to a very low level to where previously unburnable fuel can now be burned.

The overall effect is to transform the stored fuel into a superior grade, better than the fuel oil available from suppliers. Any water present is emulsified. Sludge and other dissolvables in the fuel storage tank are dissolved and converted into good usable fuel. There is less clogging of fuel lines. Filters remain cleaner longer with much less maintenance required.

The major benefit from using PT-Fuel Oil is the improvement to combustion. The flame changes from a long lazy rolling orange smoky flame to a compact bright vibrant lemony-yellow flame. This is complete combustion occurring for the first time in the PT-Fuel Oil user’s equipment. The equipment actually runs better than it did when it was new. This results in a significant reduction in the amount of fuel needed to achieve the desired steam production.

Substantial reductions of fuel consumption are common when using PT-Fuel Oil. When using PT-Fuel Oil, the monetary amount of the saved fuel more than exceeds the cost of PT-Fuel Oil. Because more than the cost of the PT-Fuel Oil is saved, this fuel catalyst pays for itself. Since there is complete combustion taking place when using PT-Fuel Oil, every last drop of fuel oil is burned. With this clean burning of the fuel, the boiler operating efficiency is raised and stack discharges are practically pollution-free. There is no longer a buildup of soot or other carbon deposits resulting in little or no further need for soot blowing. Heat-transfer surfaces become clean of scales and deposits, with time, and the boiler is restored to a clean condition.

A high operating efficiency condition always exists following the cleaning-off of deposits from heat transfer surfaces at the time of the annual boiler teardown inspection. This same high efficiency remains unchanged throughout the year with continuous use of PT-Fuel Oil.

The elimination of soot deposit buildups on interior firesides surfaces of the boiler provides for a very efficient transfer of heat that results in a greatly lowered stack temperature. In the absence of internal buildups, any vanadium present in the fuel oil has no place to deposit. This therefore avoids the formation of V2O5 (vanadium Pentoxide), preventing the catalytic formation of SO3, the major contributing factor for acid rain.
