Specialty Fuel Additives for Hydrocarbon Fuels

Spark-Ignited Reciprocating Engine Products

Gasoline Fuel Treatment

SFA International's FuelSpec® 114 and 117 Series combustion catalysts have demonstrated fuel savings and NOx reduction in spark-ignited reciprocating engines using ASTM No. 1 grade naptha based (gasoline) fuel.  Fuel savings are in the 5% to 10% range in test engines and field tests in vehicles on the road.  Reductions in nitrogen oxide emissions in the exhausts in test engines have been measured in the 75% range.  Extensive testing in fuel compatibility tests have demonstrated that the catalyst does not affect fuel stability.

The low level of ash contribution from the catalyst does not materially affect fuel quality.  Therefore, addition of the catalyst will not negate engine warranties because of ash specifications.

Technical Service

SFA Engineers provide technical service to aid customers in achieving optimum results from use of boiler fuel additives. Before a recommendation is made, a survey of the plant is made. From this information, a proposal is prepared outlining the additive application, dosage rate, function and expected benefits.
