Efficiamax® Ten-35 fuel treatment is a combustion catalyst that gives your engine greater fuel efficiency. Efficiamax® decreases combustible carbon residue by providing a more complete burn. More efficient combustion yields to more useful power per gallon of fuel.
Efficiamax® Ten-35 is the ONLY fuel treatment in the world that reduces soot and smoke and other harmful emissions a guaranteed 40%, and in many cases much higher. Efficiamax® reduces the harmful emissions that damage the environment.
PROBLEM IN BIODIESEL IMPLEMENTATION
Most diesel engines are electronically controlled and designed to produce lower harmful emissions and a higher horsepower per displacement ratio. Consequently, they require a higher quality fuel to achieve this. High quality fuel is not consistently available. In addition, fuel containing water and particulate contamination will damage the newer elcut-engineectronically controlled fuel components reducing the reliability and longevity of newer engines.
These problems are intensified by the latest trend of mandated biofuel implementation. Government-mandated biodiesel fuel has less BTU energy per liter than regular diesel fuel. Many countries have increased the percentage of biofuel in biodiesel to enforce renewable energy policies. The greater the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel, the more risk industry is forced to confront. Because of biofuels, engines today are faced with a higher water tendency, lower fuel efficiency, and fuel degradation.
One of the most viable solutions to these problems is the application of Efficiamax® fuel treatment. Efficiamax® fuel treatment minimizes the risks associated with the above-mentioned current fuel problems.
Efficiamax® Ten-35 fuel treatment is a fuel combustion catalyst that contains a water demulsifier, polymerization retardant, oxidation stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, detergent and dispersant.
COMBUSTION CATALYST OF EFFICIAMAX®
Efficiamax® Ten-35 fuel treatment contains organo- metallic compounds, as well as other materials, that optimize the combustion process by creating a more efficient use of fuel. The treatment is engineered to lower the ignition point of fuel and provide a longer residence time for the combustion process.
By lowering the ignition point, Efficiamax®Ten-35 fuel treatment optimizes the combustion process of hydrocarbon-based fuels, minimizing carbon deposits, soot, smoke and particulate matter. This results in less carbon and smoke emitted from exhausts due to unburned fuel, which helps protect the environment. Efficiamax® improves the burn rate by lowering the ignition point. This in turn burns lower-end BTUs in the fuel that are normally expelled out of the exhaust.
WATER DEMULSIFIER
Efficiamax® Ten-35 completely separates fuel from water, thus reducing injector and fuel pump failure.
POLYMERIZATION RETARDANT
Fuel naturally begins to break down as soon as it is refined, eventually returning to its original state as crude oil. This polymerization process starts to form submicron-sized particles. As the process continues, particles become larger and eventually agglomerate, forming macroscopic sludge. These particles can score injectors and eventually plug filters and injectors, and over long periods of time, render the fuel unpumpable. Efficiamax® disperses existing macroscopic sludge and retards further polymerization, permitting fuel to burn more efficiently.
OXIDATION STABILIZER
Biodiesel is prone to oxidation. When biodiesel oxidizes, insoluble by-products are created that cause injector deposits. These deposits can slow response or cause sticking of moving internal parts and lead to injector failure. Efficiamax® contains a dispersant that stabilizes fuels, thereby preventing oxidation.
CORROSION INHIBITOR
Efficiamax® Ten-35 contains a corrosion inhibitor to mitigate internal tank corrosion and a detergent to help keep lines, filters, and injectors clean. This results in increased efficiency and less maintenance for your engine.
DETERGENCY
Efficiamax® Ten-35 keeps fuel system components clean and within design tolerances for precise fuel delivery to the combustion chamber.
EFFICIAMAX® A COMPLETE SOLUTION
Efficiamax® Ten-35 fuel treatment is designed to be an overall and COMPLETE solution for the fuel problems of today. Efficiamax® fuel treatment can be added to fuel kept in storage tanks or added directly into your vehicles, boats, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, chainsaws, and any Two-stroke engine.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EFFICIAMAX®
Carbon Mass Balance testing can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of Efficiamax® Ten-35. The Carbon Mass Balance test measures carbon leaving the engine in the form of exhaust. The only source of carbon the engine has is its fuel. Mass cannot be created or destroyed; so the amount of fuel entering the engine can be determined. If the amount of fuel used is reduced under a given load, the effectiveness of a fuel treatment can be measured. This procedure is ideal for determining whether the addition of a fuel treatment has any effect on fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions that pollute the environment.
Carbon Mass Balance Test results of Efficiamax® Ten-35 show that harmful emissions are significantly lower.
EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35’s interaction with fuel can be explained using a chemical formula.
The basic principles behind the benefits and catalytic effects of EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35 are easy to understand. Today’s engines leave some amount of fuel unburned on each piston stroke. EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35 makes it easier for your engine to burn more of the fuel in the cylinder. Since more of the fuel is being burned, more power is being generated. Since less of the fuel is being wasted, you will have fewer emissions and better economy which saves money.
Chemistry
An engine converts fuel into energy by the following chemical processes:
CxHy + O2 → ( CO2 + H2O ) + ( CO + HC + C ) + ΔH
The ΔH is known in chemistry as enthalpy and represents the energy created from the thermodynamic process taking place inside an engine. The CxHy represents the fuel, for example gasoline is C8H18 and diesel is C12H26. The CO2, H2O, CO, HC, and C on the right side of the arrow represent products that are released in the engine exhaust.
There are no exothermic (i.e. energy producing) reactions that could yield more energy out of the CO2 or H2O, so we’ve grouped those components together in the equation above. However, there are exothermic reactions that can extract additional energy from the second group: the CO, HC, and C.
When EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35 is introduced into the engine; it acts as a catalyst and lowers the activation energy needed to further break down the unburned products in the above reactions. Specifically, when EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35 is used the following additional chemical processes take place in the engine:
CO + O2 → CO2 + ΔH
HC + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ΔH
C + O2 → CO2 + ΔH
The ΔH’s in the three above equations are how EFFICIAMAX® Ten-35 increases your engine’s output. These ΔH’s add to the ΔH produced by the engine’s standard process to deliver more output energy from the engine. This extra energy can be used to either increase engine output power (if the amount of fuel input is kept constant) or reduce the engine’s fuel intake (if the amount of output power is kept constant).
After the International MINExpo held in 2000, PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA) Mining of Indonesia decided to use FILTAGREEN® International’s Efficiamax® Fuel Treatment.
(PAMA is the largest privately held, independent mining contractor in the world, and the largest user of Komatsu equipment in the entire world.) They determined that if they gained a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, calculated based on the price point at which they would purchase the product, it would lead to a 300% return on their investment in the product. Initial tests of the product proved an increase of significantly more than 2%.
PAMA uses over 300 million gallons (US measurement) of fuel per year. Their machines run an average of 23 hours per day. This equates to approximately 822,000 gallons of Efficiamax®-treated fuel being used each day.
Currently, PAMA is at 4.5% increase in fuel efficiency. This represents 2.5% more than was originally estimated. Therefore, by using FILTAGREEN® International’s Efficiamax® Fuel Treatment, this company is receiving a 675% return on investment and saving 37,000 gallons of fuel each day
