Pennar ELF AC13S is a specially formulated catalyst compound in solution in an aromatic solvent, which is readily soluble in fuel oil and which acts as a combustion catalyst by increasing the speed of oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons during the process of heavy fuel oil combustion.

Combustion Improver for Heavy Fuel Oils

Functions
Pennar ELF AC13S is a flexible way to optimize the use of heavy fuel oils and exhibits the following main properties: Reduces significantly the amount of soot and unburnt hydrocarbons (over 50%) formed during the combustion of heavy fuel oils. Reduces excess air used during the combustion process. Improves the flame homogeneity and achieves a more stable yield of combustion along the time. Reduces deposits on heat transfer surfaces and consequently achieves more efficient heat transfer in the convection zone. As a consequence, reduction in fuel consumption is achieved.

Pennar ELF AC13S

Environment
Reduces the unburnt solids by at least 50%. Reduces NOx by at least 30%. Decreases emission of black smoke and CO gas. Satisfies environmental considerations.

Handling and Blending

Pennar ELF AC13S must be stored and handled at ambient temperatures not lower than 0 - 3 C. Carbon steel, stainless steel, polyethylene, polypropylene or Teflon may be used for construction of storage. The recommended blending method is either by direct injection in the fuel line by a dosing pump or by addition into the fuel storage tank or in the tanker before decantation of the fuel.

Precaution

Pennar ELF AC13S poses no special hazards for personnel, but as with all petroleum products, avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapours.

Certification

Tested, evaluated and certified by International Flame Research Foundation (Holland), National Analytical Laboratory (France) and several industrial users in boilers and furnaces.
