PEP-99™ Fuel Oil Emulsifier

PEP-99™ is a proprietary surfactant used to produce a stable heavy fuel oil and water emulsion. When used, PEP-99™ improves the combustion and handling properties of heavy fuel oil.

The following are before and after pictures of a boiler that used PEP-99™:

Improved Combustion Properties

• Increases Primary and Secondary Atomization
• More Complete and Even Burning
• Reduces Unburned Carbon
• Shortens Flame Length
• Reduces Flame Impingement
• Reduces SO3 Emissions
• Reduces NOx Emissions
• Reduces V2O5 Formation
• Reduces Particulate Emissions

Resulting Operational Benefits

• Increases Thermal Efficiency
• Improves Heat Transfer
• Lowers Excess Oxygen Requirements
• Eliminates the Need for Combustion Additives (MgO)
• Reduces Maintenance
• Reduces Boiler Cleaning
• Reduces Soot Blowing
• Reduces Acid Mist
• Reduces Back-End Fouling
• Reduces Back-End Corrosion

This product, including both the emulsifier and the service, has been designed so that the savings generated by using PEP-99™ significantly exceed the cost of this fuel-enhancing product. This technology, developed, owned and patented by Petroferm Inc., is being successfully used in the United States, Europe, Mexico, and Asia.
