Combustion improver technology delivers benefits beyond fuel efficiency across a wide range of vessel types

Ship operators are using fuel additives as a cost-effective way to help reduce fuel consumption as they work to cut running costs and emissions. But, their value goes way beyond these well-recognised attributes. In this article, Adrian Bourdeaux, Marine Fuels Technology Manager, shares the findings of recent evaluations at sea, carried out in a range of vessel types. These data not only confirm the emissions and efficiency improvement fuel additives can deliver to marine applications but also show how they can keep hardware clean and improve scrubber performance.
