BOOSTplus
BOOSTplus is 100% natural with no synthetic chemicals added. When it combusts, it adds no new emissions or unknown chemicals as it 97% fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), from 100% natural sustainably farmed and produced palm oil. It is simply an fatty acid ester based hydrocarbon chain, similar to what is in #fossilfuels, but with a few extra oxygen molecules.
This acts as a natural lubricant (refineries add FAME to their fuel to improve the lubricity lost from removing the sulphur from the fuel), and it is also a natural detergent. Once we have taken your engine through the clean-up phase, this will help to keep it clean from carbon deposits. All 100% naturally.

Reducing the amount of oil needed
Palm oil is the most efficient oilseed crop as it gives the highest yield per hectare among all oil crops at present and produces oil with the lowest production costs among the other oilseeds. It can produce up to ten times the yield of oil/year/hectare of other annual oleaginous crops as its oil production reaches to about 4t palm oil/ha on average. This valuable plant needs more consideration as it produces oil with less costs and expenses in comparison with other oleaginous plants, is the first human vegetable energy source and one of the most strategic crops in several countries. Palm oil is a very important crop as it produces the most consumed vegetable oil and fat. Unilever use around 140m tonnes of Palm oil in cooking oils, makeup and soaps & detergents every year.

How much CO2 does your fuel produce when burnt?
Petrol - 2.31kg/litre
1 litre of petrol weighs 750 grams. Petrol consists for 87% of carbon, or 652 grams of carbon per litre of petrol. In order to combust this carbon to CO2, 1740 grams of oxygen is needed. The sum is then 652 + 1740 = 2.31kg of CO2/litre of petrol.
Diesel - 2.68kg/litre
1 litre of diesel weighs 835 grams. Diesel consist for 86,2% of carbon, or 740 grams of carbon per litre diesel. In order to combust this carbon to CO2, 1940 grams of oxygen is needed. The sum is then 740 + 1940 = 2.68kg of CO2/litre of diesel.
B5 Bio - 2.54kg/litre
B20 Bio - 2.14kg/litre
A B5 or B20 mix of Biodiesel refers to the percentage of Bio material mixed with regular diesel. The standard for use in Europe is B7 (EN590). The credit you get for CO2 reduction is based on the percentage of FAME content. Biodiesel increases NOx and is widely understood to reduce complete combustion.
With BOOSTplus
*adjusted equivalence
Petrol - 1.85kg/litre
Diesel - 2.14kg/litre
B5 - 2.03kg/litre
B20 - 1.71kg/litre
And reduces NOx in ALL fuel types
How BOOSTplus works in Petrol & Diesel Engines
Once BOOSTplus has been added to the fuel tank, the enhancer attaches to fuel molecules and starts to break them down.
When the additive gets into the combustion chamber, it starts to remove built up carbon deposits from the valves, injectors and pistons. This Carbon build up is burnt off with the fuel, in the clean up process.
The clean up process is similar to the job done by chemical additives that you may have seen at Fuel Stations. The main difference is that we ensure the correct amount of additive for the engine and tank size is added... and no chemicals!

Boilers & Industrial Applications
Our longest consistent users have been clients with Industrial Boilers. Industrial boilers are generally used to heat water or generate steam.
The process of fuel combustion remains the same, but similar to gas-turbines, during operation there is a continuous flame, not an ‘explosion’ of energy as we have in a reciprocal engine with pistons. The type of fuel can also change from relatively clean diesel down to what is known as LFO – Light Fuel Oil. One of the main differences is the relative viscosity of the oil, meaning its flow rate. Unlike refined diesel, it can contain a lot of aromatics, sulphur and nitrogen.
BOOSTplus helps in the same way it does in normal diesel - because the aromatic hydrocarbon chains are closed loops with a higher viscosity, they tend to combust less completely as they do not break into droplets as readily during injection and this residual unburnt fuel now causes emission and maintenance issues. As industrial applications tend to have regular emissions inspections of the flue stack, this is a critical aspect for these clients.
Lower Emissions
As for all other applications, BOOSTplus combines with the aromatic chains, because of their higher viscosity (a measure of resistance) and reduces the surface tension of the droplets.
They now have an increased surface area and reduced viscosity, which allows the drops of fuel to break up into a mist during injection, combine with the oxygen from the inlet, allowing it to combust and burn more efficiently with less residual oxygen remaining to combine with nitrogen and form NOx.
There is now significantly less unburnt fuel, generally < 5%, so you have improved energy generation from each litre of fuel to heat the water – no waste heat generated in the exhaust flue stack.
This translates to a cleaner burn, with significantly reduced emissions – our clients have achieved 60 to 80% less emissions when using BOOSTplus.
Reduced Consumption
Because the fuel now combusts in the burner, not in the exhaust flue stack, you now get the power you paid for delivered where you need it – in the boiler.
In these applications you gain greater efficiency from each litre – it is generating up to 20% more usable energy from the same amount of fuel, meaning you need to burn less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output to heat the water.
Reduced Maintenance
Because the fuel now combusts more cleanly post the initial clean-up, there is less carbon available to deposit on the fuel injectors and elsewhere.
Once the carbon deposits have been removed, the palm oil in BOOSTplus will act as a detergent and keep the burner clean in combination with the improved combustion.
A cleaner engine and efficient fuel consumption translate to less unburnt fuel that can ride back into the crankcase with the oil, affect the viscosity of the oil, reducing the lubrication protection and causing more mechanical wear as a consequence of more surface friction.
Sustainable Power
BOOSTplus is the cleanest investment you can make for your operations - it translates into a double bonus to report to the Board and stakeholders – more sustainable power produced at a lower cost improving profitability and cashflow.
BOOSTplus is 100% natural, sourced from sustainably farmed sources, grown on trees that sequester more carbon than most, using a fraction of the palm oil used by biofuels for more benefit.
And it will not only reduce your operating cash flow requirements for your fuel budget, it will improve your bottom line and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20% and your particulate emissions by over 60% for the same output.
And you can sustain the gain, at no extra cost.
Ships & Shipping
The primary difference between vehicular and stationary diesel engines is that the energy from the one is used to drive a vehicle and in stationary applications it drives an alternator depending on the application. The secondary difference is that in vehicles you measure the output in kilometres driven and in power or stationary applications you measure output in kilowatt hours – usable energy.
Marine engines are a different hybrid application where the engine drives the propellers to move the boat or ship, but the engine output is measured in operational hours.But, given the complexities of moving through the water, you have many variables that impact consumption – ships draft, weather force and weather direction The process of fuel combustion in the engine remains the same, but obviously the mechanics around the pistons changes and can change in scale up to the monsters that drive huge ships such as some container vessels.
The type of fuel can also change from relatively clean diesel down to LFO – Light Fuel Oil, up to what is known as bunker oil or HFO – Heavy Fuel Oil. One of the main differences is the relative viscosity of the oil, meaning its flow rate. Unlike refined diesel, it contains a lot of aromatics, sulphur and nitrogen. In 2020 new regulations have come into force requiring vessels to clean their emissions.

Reduced Consumption
Because the fuel now burns in the piston chamber, not in the exhaust stack, you now get the power you paid for delivered where you need it – in the engine.
We refer to this as reduced consumption, but it is a slight misnomer – it is getting more from the same consumption simply by combusting it more efficiently and generating up to 20% more usable energy from the same amount of fuel, meaning you need to burn less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output.
Environmental & Scrubber Units

Generators & Low to Mid Range Power
The primary difference between vehicular and stationary diesel engines is that the energy from the one is used to drive a vehicle and in stationary applications it drives an alternator depending on the application. The secondary difference is that in vehicles you measure the output in kilometres driven and in power or stationary applications you measure output in kilowatt hours – usable energy.
Stationary generators can be used in 2 primary configurations: Emergency or Standby Power for when the mains power supply fails, or, Main (Prime Rated) or Continuous Power where it is the sole source of power.
The process of fuel combustion in the engine remains the same, but obviously the mechanics around the pistons changes and can change in scale from the typical noisy generators we see near buildings or construction sites, to the monsters that drive huge ships such as some container vessels.

Gas Turbines - High Efficiency Power
Most of us outside of the industry tend to think of Gas Turbines as only burning gas fuels, but most of them are designed to burn different fuel types and can also run off liquid fuels such as diesel – they are all hydrocarbon chains after all. Logical once you think about it.
Because they’re more complex machines, they tend to be used in continuous power situations where they are the sole source of power. Where gas can be piped to the site they will burn gas, but where supply has to be delivered to site or stored in tanks, liquid fuel is used for security of supply.
The process of fuel combustion in the turbine is similar to that of a diesel engine, but obviously there are no pistons – compression is done by rotary means - the inlet blades -through to the combustion chamber and then on outlet it drives the turbine blades. They can be used in industrial applications, power generation or can drive huge ships such as some container vessels.
The type of fuel can also change from relatively clean diesel down to what is known as bunker oil or HFO – Heavy Fuel Oil. One of the main differences is the relative viscosity of the oil, meaning its flow rate. Unlike refined diesel, it contains a lot of aromatics, sulphur and nitrogen.

There is now significantly less unburnt fuel, so you have improved energy generation from each litre of fuel to drive the turbine and deliver power. This translates to a cleaner burn, with significantly reduced emissions, with the same effect wet combustors using water to emulsify the diesel prior to combustion, but does not have the cooling effect of the water spray.
Lower Consumption
Because the fuel now burns in the combustion chamber, not in the exhaust stack, you now get the power you paid for delivered where you need it – in the turbine.
We refer to this as reduced consumption, but it is a slight misnomer – it is getting more from the same consumption simply by combusting it more efficiently and generating up to 20% more usable energy from the same amount of fuel, meaning you need to burn less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output as before.
Higher Efficiency
A cleaner engine and more efficient fuel consumption translates to less unburnt fuel that can affect the turbine and cause wear or damage. The impact on maintenance reduction is less than with diesel engines. In Turbines the emission reduction is a greater concern and benefit than the reduced maintenance.
Turbine Major overhauls occur about every three years and take 3 to 4 weeks to complete as each turbine blade has to be inspected for wear and replaced if there is any major wear or cracks. Inspection is normally done by mobile X-ray to insure there are no invisible cracks that can cause major damage.
