Technol STR-2+ Fuel Oil Conditioner

Transcription

1 For Home Heating Oil & Biofuel Blends Technol STR-2+ is engineered to combat the major fuel oil problems associated in both the summer and winter seasons. These are fuel stabilization, sludge buildup, gelled fuel and ice, water contamination, algae, tank / fuel system corrosion and incomplete fuel combustion. Technol STR-2+ is the most cost effective maintenance conditioner that will keep your fuel and fuel system at their peak efficiency. Stabilizes your fuel - Sludge is formed as fuel degrades, breaks down and builds-up, more so over the hot summer months. In time, this sludge buildup becomes so great that you don t realize you have a sludge problem until your filters clog. Keeping your fuel stabilized throughout the year will inhibit sludge buildup from forming. Sludge Dispersants break up and dissolve fuel sediment sludge small enough that most pass harmlessly though filters and injectors, cleaning the entire fuel system. This enables your fuel system to operate at its peak efficiency with an optimally atomized fuel spray, leading to an increase in fuel economy. Prevents gelled fuel - The pour point of your fuel is lowered by up to 25 F. Cold Flow Improvers modify the wax crystals that form at temperatures below the cloud point by keeping them from forming an impervious mass of gelled fuel that blocks fuel flow. This keeps your fuel free flowing during cold climate conditions. Prevents ice - Any free water within the tank, and water that the fuel has absorbed, are both kept from freezing. All ice and ice crystals are melted and prevented from refreezing. Emulsifies water - water is not only inherent in fuel oil, but can be introduced at any point between the refinery to delivery. Technol STR-2+ enables water and fuel oil to mix, and this emulsion is removed from the tank as the fuel is called upon to heat your home. This keeps water contamination from building up, controlling algae and corrosion. Controls algae - when water is removed, the environment that Algae and Bacteria need for life and growth is also removed, keeping tanks clean and filters and lines from clogging. This keeps downtime and maintenance costs to a minimum. Corrosion inhibitors - within Technol STR-2+, and with continued use will protect your fuel system from further rust and corrosion. Corrosion occurs unseen from the inside until your tank springs a costly leak. Improves fuel combustion and efficiency - Combustion Improvers enable your fuel to ignite faster for a more complete fuel burn. Results are increased BTU output while using the same amount of fuel. Carbon, soot buildup, and emissions are reduced when compared to using unconditioned fuel. A clean fuel system operating at peak efficiency, with your fuel providing more BTU output, fuel economy savings may be increased up to 5%. Greater benefits are possible depending upon fuel quality. Works in Blended Biofuel - The same benefits are achieved in blended Biofuel up to B20 blends. 67

3 Technical Data Sheet Recommended seasonal uses Winter Use Apply proactively, pour Technol STR-2+ directly into the tank before the onset of cold weather and then refuel the tank to insure faster mixing and distribution. If the amount of fuel needed is not known, apply after the refueling gallons are known. Technol STR-2+ can be applied after a fuel delivery but mixing will not be as fast. It is best applied before refueling to insure faster mixing and distribution. To stabilize fuel during summer storage. When spring arrives, double dose the entire fuel tank capacity then top off the tank. Usage ratios Initial use apply at the ratio of 16 ozs to every 275 gallons of fuel, or One gallon to every 2,000 gallons of fuel. Maintenance, apply at the ratio of 8 ozs to every 275 gallons of fuel, or One gallon to every 4,000 gallons of fuel. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Material is: Liquid Appearance: Blue Color Flash point: 126 F Closed Cup Specific gravity@25 C (77 F): 0.91 Sludge Vs. Fuel Stabilization Fuel starts to degrade very soon after it s produced and sludge forms as fuel degrades. From the refineries to the oil dealer and ultimately to your tank, fuel oil is stored, aged, degrades, and causes sludge. Before you get a chance to burn the oil, it gets a chance to sit around, age and degrade causing sludge. Summer heat and stagnant storage speed up fuel degradation. This is why being proactive by stabilizing every refueling is so important in preventing sludge. Year round fuel stabilizing is key to a clean fuel system. Technol STR-2+ will stabilize your fuel while sludge detergents and dispersants breakup any sludge already within your tank. One uncontrollable factor is that you were delivered a sludgy load of fuel, which is an instant problem. In that case, Technol 246 Super Sludge Dispersant is recommended. For summer storage stabilization, double dose the entire tank capacity and top off the tank. Combats water buildup and algae If you do not top off the tank in the spring, hot summer days and cool nights cause condensation to form within the open air space above the fuel. As water builds up, rust and corrosion start to damage the tank from the inside out. This free water collects and algae is another problem that often occurs. Technol STR-2+ allows water and oil to mix. This water/oil emulsion is removed as the boiler calls for fuel to provide heat. It is burnt and sent up the stack as steam. When the water is gone, the environment required for biological life is also gone. Technol Fuel Conditioners, Inc. Tel: Fax: REV 8/06
