Turbotect ER-302

BIOCIDE / SLIME PREVENTER FOR MIDDLE DISTILLATE FUELS - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TURBOTECT ER-302 is a fuel additive specially designed to control the negative effects of water contamination in mid-distillate fuels used for gas turbine applications. The product is a highly effective biocide to control bacterial activity and slime formation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• Blend of benzothiazole derivatives in a heavy aromatic naphtha solvent.

APPLICATION

• TURBOTECT ER-302 is formulated as a highly effective biocide to control bacterial activity and slime formation and to kill at an early stage most problematic micro-organisms.
• The product should preferably be injected as far up-stream of the storage tank as possible, and when the delivered fuel is still warm.
• Biocidal control is improved by regularly drawing-off water from the bottom of the treated storage tank.

FEATURES

• Effective over a broad range of fuels.
• Provides rapid treating response.
• Excellent solubility in mid-distillate fuels.
• No negative effects on diesel fuel properties and additives (detergents, CFPP, rust inhibitors, etc.).
• Can be used for routine prevention or at slightly higher treatment rates on a curative basis.
• Low impact on the environment.

BENEFITS

• Will maintain treated fuel bright and clear.
• Reduces risk of slime formation and color change of the treated fuels.
• Toxic to both fungal and bacterial organisms.
• Contains no chlorine nor metals (which could result in gas turbine hot corrosion).
• Easy to handle and low toxicity to humans.
• Good middle- to long-term activity even if treated fuel is transferred several times to other storage tanks or if temperature fluctuates widely.
• Maintains the properties of the treated fuel such as colour, pour point, cloud point and heat of combustion etc., which are usually affected by the presence of water and/or slime.

AVAILABILITY:

TURBOTECT ER-302 is available in non-returnable steel drums (208 litres nominal size).
