VANASOLVENT

DESCRIPTION

VANASOLVENT is a liquid compound that contains chemicals proven effective in reducing harmful effects of vanadium oxides and sodium salts in diesel engines. Adding VANASOLVENT to bunker fuel forms a complex that de-activates the vanadium and sodium common in heavy bunker fuels. The melting point of vanadium pentoxide is 675°C and sodium sulfate is 880°C. When VANASOLVENT is employed, the complexes formed with vanadium and sodium sulfate by the agents in VANASOLVENT melt at about 1100°C.

APPLICATIONS

VANASOLVENT is used both in steam and motor vessels burning heavy fuel oils to improve combustion efficiency, reduce corrosion, disperse sludge and separate water. It is primarily formulated for use in diesel engines to prevent valves failure.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

VANASOLVENT is introduced manually into the fuel tanks prior or during bunkering. The fuel movement on entering the tank will blend the product completely with the fuel. The product can also be dosed automatically into the fuel oil service line, prior to the service pump by means of a metering pump. The UNIMARINE METERING PUMP is recommended.

PRODUCT DOSAGE

Dosage requirements depend on the nature and amount of impurities, but typical dosage rate is 1 lt. of VANASOLVENT per 4 tons of fuel oil, considering a normal vanadium of 100 PPM. To establish a more accurate and cost efficient dosage rate, it could be useful to test or know the vanadium content at each bunkering.
