Turbotect EXP-111M

BIOCIDE / SLIME PREVENTER FOR MIDDLE DISTILLATE FUELS - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TURBOTECT EXP-111M is a combination fuel additive specially designed to control the effects of water contamination in mid-distillate fuels used for gas turbine applications. The product improves the rate of water separation, thus preventing the appearance of a haze, and also serves as a highly effective biocide to control bacterial activity and slime formation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• Blend of benzothiazole derivatives with co-polymers of alkyl-oxides and alkylphenols in a heavy aromatic naphtha solvent.

APPLICATION

• TURBOTECT EXP-111M is formulated to both reduce the amount of water haze in mid-distillate fuels (thereby minimizing the possibility of a bacterial problem) 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.
• Effective both as a dehazer and a demulsifier.
• Can be used for routine prevention or at slightly higher treatment rates on a curative basis.
• Low impact on the environment.

BENEFITS

• Maintains a bright and clear appearance in treated fuels, and controls the problem of slime formation.
• Toxic to both fungal and bacterial organisms.
• Contains no phosphorous, chlorine or 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 EXP-111M is available in non-returnable steel drums (208 litres nominal size).
