Fuelpower Soot Remover Liquid Plus
Newly formulated Unitor™ FuelPower™ Soot Remover Liquid Plus increases the cleaning/maintenance interval for your exhaust gas economizer/boiler from every 3 months to 12–15 months.
Extensive yearlong trials on MV Tonsberg, a 76500 GRT Ro-Ro vessel propelled by MAN B&W 7 Cylinder L70 ME-C8, clearly showed tangible benefits of using our new treatment chemical. The use of our new Unitor™ FuelPower™ Soot Remover Liquid Plus provides clear benefits:
- Keeps EGB free of soot
- Increases cleaning interval to 12-15 months
- Prevents acid formation
- Prevents cold corrosion
- Reduces risk of soot fires
- Environmentally friendly by reducing emission of soot particles
- Reduces the challenge of dealing with the acidic wash water every 3 months
- Absence of heavy metal compounds such as copper nitrate
- 24/7 support for your needs
CHALLENGES WITH SOOT DEPOSIT
Operational
- Untreated fuel oil leads to frequent cleaning, every 2-3 months interval
- Using additional time, money and resources to carry out a cleaning job when vessel is in port, additional strain on resources
- Wear and tear of equipment and labour needed to carry out the cleaning
Environmental
- Challenge of discharging the dirty wash water as it contains acidic soot that cannot be disposed directly into sea water, requiring additional waste management
Equipment:
- Reduced efficiency as soot deposits are extremely insulating - just a 1mm layer of soot can cut the efficiency of the exhaust gas boiler by up to 10%
- Soot fires result in overheating due to soot deposit
- Cold corrosion in case of slow steaming with low exhaust temperatures
INHERENT CHALLENGES IN INDUSTRY
Low-quality fuel
- Contaminants such as vanadium, sodium, aluminium, silica, potassium and other metals can cause incomplete combustion
Design of exhaust gas boiler
- Incorporation of low velocity flue gas for higher efficiency may result in higher soot deposit
Operational
- Reduction in exhaust gas temperature from modern engines and slow-steaming practices increases the tendency for deposit formation or cold corrosion in the exhaust gas boiler
