SFA International, Inc.
SFA International, Inc. is the successor to SFA Technologies,
Inc, a New Jersey Corporation based in Georgetown, CT and
founded in 1980. Initial business focused on supplying magnesium-based
fuel additives to customers in Saudi Arabia operating combustion
turbines for the generation of electricity on unrefined crude
oils. During this period, SFA Technologies purchased components
from various chemical manufacturers and formulated finished
fuel additives.
In 1993, SFA Technologies moved to Houston to start manufacturing
oil-soluble metal components used in the formulation of liquid
petroleum fuel additives. It reorganized as SFA International,
Inc., a Texas corporation.
Since 1993, SFA has developed proprietary manufacturing processes
for its product line and discovered a unique combustion catalyst
technology. SFA sells through a distributor network with warehouses
in Houston, St. Martinville, LA, Pusan, Korea and Manama,
Bahrain.
Liquid Petroleum Fuel Additive Components and Formulations
SFA International is engaged in the development,
manufacturing and marketing of specialty chemicals used in
the formulation of liquid petroleum fuel additives. Our core
business is the manufacture of oil-soluble metal compounds
used in liquid petroleum fuel additive formulations. These
metals are used to:
- Catalyze combustion, reduce particulate emissions and
improve fuel efficiency
- Prevent deposits and hot corrosion on hot path metal
parts in various kinds of engines caused by oil-soluble
metals and water-soluble alkali metals and alkaline earth
salts
- Neutralize sulfuric acid in exhaust gases to reduce acid
rain
These products are used in Combustion Turbines, Diesel Engines,
Process Heaters and Steam Boilers in a wide variety of liquid
petroleum fuels ranging from naptha to residual oil. We also
have applications in solid fossil fuels.
Combustion Catalyst Technology
SFA International has developed a patented combustion catalyst
technology using a unique combination of iron and magnesium.
The catalyst results in more efficient combustion of the fuel.
- Reduce carbon emissions up to 90% in engine exhausts
compared with 50% reduction reported in the literature
- Yield fuel savings in Diesel engines commensurate with
the level of particulate emissions in the exhaust.
We have rigorously evaluated the catalyst in fuels ranging
from naptha to residual oil in several kinds of engines: Data
have been measured by laboratories in Great Britain, India
and Korea as well as extensive field evaluations since 1996.
There are several papers in our Technical Paper Library discussing
the mechanism of catalysis and presentations of test data.
For information about applications of our catalyst technology
in a variety of engines and fuels, please contact us for our
combustion catalyst Experience List.
Five patents on this technology have been filed in the United
States. Two have issued and the third is in the last stages
of office action. These have also had foreign filings with
one in thirty-two countries.
Superior Technology
SFA's product line is based on manufacturing processes that
result in high quality and consistent product. The technology
supporting the product line is a result of years of study
and application of scientific principles to products and their
use as fuel additives. This position is supported by technical
papers presented in our Technical Library. In our technical
sales presentations, we take great pride in presenting the
"how's and why's" concerning our products and how
they function.
We invite you to review our product line and visit our Technical
Paper Library for more information.
