Fuel additives are essential to enhance specific properties in fuels, targeting unique processes and functions to improve performance, safety, and compliance in both gasoline and diesel engines. PETRONAX has developed a specialized range of additives under the INTRON series, each designed for a specific purpose in fuel management and treatment. These include INTRON 1000 series as an octane booster for gasoline, INTRON dClean for diesel cleaning, INTRON mClean for gasoline cleaning, INTRON cTane as a cetane improver for diesel, INTRON dSol as a demulsifier, INTRON dFlow as a cold flow improver for diesel, INTRON dLube as a lubricity improver, INTRON antiCorr as a corrosion inhibitor, and INTRON antiStatic 500 as a conductivity improver. Each additive targets a specific process, contributing to fuel quality, engine performance, fuel economy, and environmental compliance.
The INTRON 1000 series is an octane booster designed to enhance the octane rating of gasoline, crucial in preventing engine knocking during high-performance processes. Gasoline’s octane rating determines its resistance to premature ignition or knocking, which can damage engine components and lower efficiency. The INTRON 1000 series boosts the octane level, allowing for complete and controlled combustion, especially in high-compression engines. This process improves power output, reduces wear on engine parts, and contributes to smoother engine operation. Additionally, increasing the octane level with INTRON 1000 leads to cleaner combustion, reducing harmful emissions and aligning with regulatory standards.
INTRON dClean is tailored for diesel fuel cleaning, addressing the deposit buildup that occurs in diesel injectors and combustion chambers. Diesel engines are prone to deposit formation due to the incomplete combustion of fuel and the presence of particulates. INTRON dClean prevents these deposits from accumulating, ensuring that injectors maintain a fine spray pattern, which is essential for efficient combustion. Cleaner injectors and combustion chambers lead to improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and smoother engine operation. This cleaning process extends engine life by reducing wear on key components, making INTRON dClean ideal for vehicles in heavy-duty or commercial use.
INTRON mClean is formulated specifically for gasoline engines, where carbon deposits can form on intake valves, fuel injectors, and combustion chambers, especially in direct-injection engines. These deposits interfere with combustion efficiency, reducing power output and increasing emissions. INTRON mClean targets these areas, breaking down deposits and preventing their formation, which ensures a consistent and efficient fuel spray. The cleaning process supported by INTRON mClean improves combustion, contributing to lower fuel consumption, enhanced performance, and reduced emissions. INTRON mClean is suitable for regular gasoline engines as well as high-performance engines, supporting optimal fuel utilization and cleaner operations.
INTRON cTane is a cetane improver developed to enhance the ignition quality of diesel fuels. The cetane rating of diesel influences its combustion speed and ignition quality, which are critical in ensuring smooth starts, particularly in cold weather. By increasing the cetane number, INTRON cTane reduces ignition delay, promoting a more efficient combustion cycle with less knocking and smoother engine performance. This process is essential in heavy-duty and commercial diesel applications, as improved cetane levels lead to lower emissions, greater fuel efficiency, and reliable cold starts, supporting diesel engines’ performance and durability across various operating conditions.
INTRON dSol is a demulsifier that addresses the separation of water from fuel, a critical process in fuel storage and transportation. Water contamination in fuel can lead to microbial growth, corrosion, and compromised fuel quality. INTRON dSol breaks down water-fuel emulsions, allowing for the safe and effective removal of water from both gasoline and diesel fuels. This demulsification process helps maintain fuel purity, preventing potential engine damage and supporting efficient combustion. INTRON dSol is widely used in refineries, fuel storage facilities, and fuel distribution systems, where maintaining fuel quality is essential for safety and operational efficiency.
INTRON dFlow is a cold flow improver designed to enhance diesel fuel’s performance in low-temperature conditions. Diesel fuel can form wax crystals in cold weather, which can clog fuel filters and reduce flow, leading to potential engine shutdowns. INTRON dFlow modifies the structure of wax crystals, allowing diesel to maintain flow even in freezing temperatures. This process is essential for maintaining operability in cold climates, especially for diesel vehicles and machinery operating in winter conditions. By using INTRON dFlow, operators prevent filter plugging and ensure continuous fuel flow, supporting reliability and performance in low-temperature environments.
INTRON dLube is a lubricity improver for diesel fuel, addressing the need for enhanced lubrication in low-sulfur diesel, which naturally lacks sulfur-based lubricants. Insufficient lubricity can lead to excessive wear on engine components, particularly in fuel injectors and pumps. INTRON dLube forms a protective film on metal surfaces, reducing friction and wear within the fuel system. This lubrication process is crucial for maintaining diesel engines’ efficiency, extending the life of fuel system components, and minimizing maintenance needs. By enhancing fuel lubricity, INTRON dLube enables smoother engine operation, supports fuel efficiency, and reduces overall operational costs.
INTRON antiCorr is a corrosion inhibitor developed to protect fuel system components in both diesel and gasoline applications. Corrosion can occur due to the presence of water, oxygen, and acidic compounds in fuel, leading to damage in storage tanks, pipelines, and engine components. INTRON antiCorr forms a protective barrier on metal surfaces, preventing chemical reactions that cause corrosion. This corrosion protection process extends the life of fuel storage and engine components, reduces maintenance requirements, and ensures consistent fuel quality. INTRON antiCorr is widely used in refineries, storage facilities, and fuel distribution systems where corrosion risk is prevalent.
INTRON antiStatic 500 is a conductivity improver designed to prevent static electricity buildup in fuels, particularly low-sulfur and refined fuels with low inherent conductivity. Static electricity in fuel can lead to dangerous sparks or fires, especially during storage and transport. INTRON antiStatic 500 increases fuel conductivity, allowing static charges to dissipate safely, preventing the accumulation of hazardous charges. This conductivity improvement process enhances safety in fuel handling, storage, and transportation, reducing static-related risks in volatile fuel environments. INTRON antiStatic 500 is essential for ensuring operational safety in refineries, fuel terminals, and distribution networks.
