Fuel additives are compounds formulated to enhance the quality and efficiency of fuels used in motor vehicles. They increase a fuel's octane rating or act as corrosion inhibitors or lubricants, thus allowing the use of higher compression ratios for greater efficiency and power. Fuel additive include acetone ,ether ,nitrous oxide (nitrous),nitromethane (nitro),butyl rubber, ferox, oxyhydrogen, ferrous picrate, silicone and other anti-foaming agents, tetranitromethane.
Removes contaminants, varnishes, and moisture from the fuel. Eliminates rust and corrosion. Keeps tank, lines and filters clean.
Fuel produced by processing organic sludge from public sewage treatment facilities, powder treatment facilities, and water pollution prevention facilities.
A product that reduces the oxidation process that occurs when a fuel is stored for extended periods to prevent the formation of varnish and sludge.
A blend of oils and additives that contains no solvents. Designed to increase power and fuel mileage and lower exhaust emissions.
A type of heat transfer fluid, generally in a closed loop system, used to heat or cool process equipment. It is comprised of refined mineral oil or synthetic oil with quality appropriate for thermal transfer medium.
Gaseous fuel converted to liquid form for ease of handling and storage. Contains mainly methane and is obtained by refining natural gas. Also contains ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur compounds, etc.
A solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components. It is semi-transparent and varies in color from yellow to black.
Lubricant additives are organic or inorganic compounds dissolved or suspended as solids in oil.
Markers and dyes are used for the purpose of differentiation between different commercial grades of gasoline and are also used to distinguish products attracting different duty levels , or to identify specialist products, e.g. aviation gasoline. Markers show no visible effect in fuel but on extraction with a solvent, will impart distinctive colors. Other markers can require UV or IR spectroscopy to reveal their presence and may comprise bio or nano-Materials. These techniques can be useful in providing inventory control or in deterring theft.
A Metal deactivators or metal deactivating agents (MDA) are fuel additives and oil additives used to stabilize fluids by deactivating (usually by sequestering) metal ions, mostly introduced by the action of naturally occurring acids in the fuel and acids generated in lubricants by oxidative processes with the metallic parts of the systems.
A type of coal, usually anthracite, used primarily in the iron making process specifically for producing coke which acts as a reducing agent, e.g., strips off oxygen from iron ore. This is the high level distinction between coal used for metallurgical reasons --processing of ores to produce metals-- versus coal used for heating purposes--energy or thermal coal used in power stations or other furnaces.
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). Methanol acquired the name "wood alcohol" because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.
Molykote is an anti-seize thread compound, which means that it helps to lubricate certain fasteners to help reduce friction. Moly Universal Gear Lube is a multi-purpose, thermally stable and durable gear lubricant recommended for enclosed industrial and automotive gear drives where extreme pressure protection is needed from high speed, adverse conditions, high film strength, tackiness and excellent water separation properties. The addition of molybdenum disulfide to the base oil helps extend the efficiency and life of the equipment.
A mixture of heavy distillates and residual oils that is used in commercial and industrial burners that can operate with more viscous fuels.
A protective coating is a layer of material applied to the surface of another material with the intent of inhibiting or preventing corrosion. A protective coating may be metallic or non-metallic. Protective coatings are applied using a variety of methods, and can be used for many other purposes besides corrosion prevention.
A product that increases horsepower and octane rating. Reduces octane requirements. Maximizes power and torque. Protects against valve recession and replaces lubrication formerly found in leaded fuels. Decreases NOX and carbon monoxide emissions. Contains a smoke suppressant.
A nondrying or semidrying oil obtained from rapeseed and turnip seed and used chiefly as a lubricant, illuminant, and food.
A carbon solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes.
A Pour point depressant is an additive (polymer) that allows oils and lubricants to flow at very low temperatures without the heavy wax formation at these cold temperatures and enables the oil to remain pumpable (flowable). They are typically used in paraffinic base oils in applications where extremely low machine startup temperature conditions are possible. Most paraffinic motor oils use pour point depressors. Pour Point Depressants work as modifiers & modify the interface between the crystallized wax and the oil.
Raw coal is coal that contains dilution material e.g. tramp iron, timber, and strong rocks or increased ash content. It is coal that is typically washed before to produce a more marketable metallurgical or energy coal. It is a product that can be sold in the raw form to other parties that prefer an unwashed coal or other parties that have facilities to wash the coal themselves.
