BURNAID
Organic Combustion Improver
Product Description
Burnaid is a concentrated organic combustion improver. It
contains no metals and can be used in diesel engines and
boilers.
Product Properties
The organic compounds in Burnaid promote improved
combustion by reacting with fuel particles, thus lowering
ignition temperatures. The result is less carbon deposits,
soot and smoke. Engine and boiler combustion surfaces
are kept cleaner.
Sludge formation is inhibited through the action of
anti-polymerization agents. Fuel stability is improved
through the action of solvents and dispersants. The
results are improved combustion efficiency and fuel
atomization.
Directions for Use and Dose Rates
Burnaid is completely oil soluble. The initial dosage rate is
one litre to five tons of fuel. Actual dosage rates will be
dependent on fuel quality and operating experience.
Burnaid should be added via a metering pump. If no
metering pump is available, use the suction manometer
on the transfer pump as the dosage point. For diesel engines
and boilers, Burnaid should be dosed during transfer
from storage to the settling tank.
Where fuel analysis for Micro Carbon Residue (MCR) is
available, or where CCAI values are known, dose
according to the following table:
MCR % 8 9 10 12
Dose Rate 1:8000 1:7000 1:6000 1:5000
CCAI 835 840 845 850
Dose Rate 1:8000 1:7000 1:6000 1:5000
