-OKTAN F6'NIN KULLANIM ALANLARI

Oktan-f6 is used for Fuel-Oil consuming systems such as:

• Thermoblocks
• All liquid fuel tanks
• Transportation vehicles
• Heaters and pulverizers
• In fuel tanks and pipes, thanks to breaking surface tension it clears off the precipitations and paraffin that was formed before, and avoids formation of them.

   
  Basic Effects of Oktan-f6 in Fuel-Oil

As already known Fuel-Oil is consisted of long hydrocarbon structure. The basic effect of this structure is increasing the viscosity of Fuel-Oil. As long as Oktan-f6 is used together with Fuel-Oil, it breaks down this long structure to smaller ones and decreases the viscosity.

     Different from the other FUEL DILUENT AGENTS which are sold in the market:

1. Colloidally disperses the water in the fuel and protects the enduser from having problems during combustion which may arise because of existence of water.
2. Dissolves the carbonized hard precipitations, paraffin and mud and allows homogen dispersion  and prevents from formations of these particules.
3. Prevents from the formation of high temperature corrosion.

About Oktan-F6

As in the past, today Fuel-Oil is widely consumed for energy production in our country and fuel save is increasing its importanced day by day. Combustion improvers and fuel saver products gains importance in the countries which works on improving energy saving.

Europe and United States detected the positive effect of Manganese based additives for combustion efficiency.  As a result of the researches of TUBITAK and ODTU in our country, the positive effect of Manganese based additives for Fuel-Oil consumption was stated clearly by reports.

Also, as a result of a research of Ministry of Health, consuming Manganese based additives together with Fuel-Oil  provides a decrease of fumes and  mid toxic oxidation products in the flue gas contamination. 

Oktan-f6 which is a Manganese based additive is presented to the market in the light of these researches and reports. It is observed that Oktan-f6 provides combustion efficiency and disposes the handicaps of  Fuel-Oil consumption.
  
The benefits of adding 1 litres of combustion catalyzer- Oktan-f6  in 2000 kg Fuel-Oil and 1 litres Oktan-f6*S in 4000 kg of Fuel-Oil is stated under  three groups below.

A- BENEFITS BEFORE COMBUSTION

Dissolves Precipitations and Avoids formation of them

       
Oktan-f6, protects the Fuel-Oil tanks and fuel relief pipes from the formation of precipitations and polimerisation that is rising because of the wax and heavy hydrocarbon structure of the fuel.  It dissolves the precipitations which formed before and makes them useful. Since the precipitations in the tanks and relief pipes are dissolved and become usefull there will be no need for extra cleaning.

The precipitations are converted to be used as a fuel again and that is why Oktan-f6  helps to avoid air pollution and saves fuel consumption.

Dilutes the Fuel, m Increases Fluidity and Decreases Viscosity

Oktan-f6 breaks the long hydrocarbon chains of Fuel-Oil into smaller hydrocarbon chains and increases the fluidity of Fuel-Oil. Thanks to this feature, pre-heating costs to increase the fluidity decreases, saves energy and avoids obstructions which may happen in filters and brulors. Since the pre-heating temperature decreases, the vaporization of combustible gas is saved and the quality of fuel stays high.

Keeps the Boiler, Installation, Filters, Nozzles and Brulors Clean

By using Oktan-f6 together with Fuel-Oil, the fluidity of Fuel-Oil increases, paraffin and precipitations are dissolved and dispersed homogen in the fuel. By this way brulors and filters are kept clean longer, life of the parts increases and saves the spare parts consumption.

Decreases Pre-heating Costs

Oktan-f6 provides enough dilution of Fuel-Oil and decreases the pre-heating temperature. Decreasing the pre-heating temperature avoids the vaporization of combustible gas in Fuel-Oil and quality of Fuel Oil stays high. So, the same amount of fuel obtains more energy and this means Fuel-Oil consumption is saved.

B-  BENEFITS DURING COMBUSTION

Provides better Pulverization

Since Oktan-f6 increases the fluidity of Fuel-Oil, fuel is pulverized as in more smaller grain forms. So the vaporization speed of fuel increases and air-fuel mixture becomes more efficient. Flame form widens, height decreases and color becomes brighter. Ideal combustion is allowed.

Flash Point decreases, combustion starts easier

Oktan-f6 generates radical ends on hydrocarbon structure and decreases the flashing point, increases the ability of reaction start. At the beginning of combustion there will be no need for using Motorin or LPG to start the reaction so it means an additional fuel save.

Avoids the formation of high temperature corrosion and V2O5 corrosion

There is Vanadium in the natural structure of Fuel-Oil. When Vanadium is oxidized by the oxygen of air and atomic oxygen that is formed during flame height; a compound which has a low melting point and high valancy can easily form. This compound is called Vanadium Penta Oxide (V2O5).

Vanadium Penta Oxide acts as a catalyzer during SO3 formation, acts as corrosive compound on external surfaces. Because Oktan-f6 helps to decrease the excess air (so the oxygen) and flame height, atomic oxygen formation decreases and Vanadium is oxidized to lower stages (V2O3, VO, V2O4). V2O5 compound formation is disabled.  As regards to this point, melting point of deposits on external surfaces increase and they are kept away of sticking on the surfaces. Oktan-f6 provides a brittle structure for deposits. A study on this item clarifies that the melting point of ash without any additive is detected as 9500C  with a DTA device. After adding a Manganese based additive, it is stated that 12000C was not enough to melt the ash.

As a result of these effects, high temperature corrosion in flame zone is intercepted and on the other hand since the deposits could not obstruct the heat tranfer, heat save is allowed. Maintenance costs decrease and boiler life increases.

Saves Fuel

After some adjustments on brulors, since the combustion in boiler will be more efficient after adding Oktan-f6, fuel is saved 3% to 9,4%(depends on the system and fuel quality) according to emission examination values of flue gas. The main effect which provides fuel save is decreasing the percentage of mid oxide products and carbon particules and having more efficient combustion.

C- BENEFITS AFTER COMBUSTION

Lowers the soot formation

Oktan-f6 allows complete and efficient combustion and prevents the formation of free carbide particules. According to Bacharack scala, fumes color is stated to be lighter and it means the fly ash that is thrown out in the athmosphere is less.
 

Decreases the low temperature corrosion

Oktan-f6, thanks to decreasing the oxygen requirement in combustion zone, prevents the formation of V2O5 which makes catalyzer effect on SO3 formation. Also Oktan-f6  helps some of the combustible Sulphur to exist in the ash as sulphates. This results as the non formation of corrosive SO3. 

         The oxidation reaction of Sulphur in the system;
       SO2+1/2 O2     =     SO3
        
Since V2O5 is not be a catalyzer anymore and oxygen requirement becomes less, the reaction progresses to the direction of SO2. When SO2 reacts with the water vapour, sulphurous acid forms. The acidicity of Sulphurous Acid is 100 timer greater than SO3 gas.  

Decreases Acid Rain Formation

TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT MANGANESE BASED ADDITIVE-OKTAN F6

Oktan-f6 is an Organo Metallic Compound (Organo Metallic Manganese) which has the density of 0,75 at 150C. It breaks the long hydrocarbon chains of Fuel-Oil and increases the fluidity.  It is used as a complementary additive which provides efficient and easy combustion. Organo Metallic Compounds can easily dissolve in fuel.  The studies of mass based dosage applications held in different countries proved that Organo Metallic Compounds are the best catalyzers as regards to other methods which can create catalytic effect. These compounds provides a closer reaction between the main reactants.  Organo Metallic Compounds breaks down the thixotropic structure in the fuel and so decreases the viscosity (such as 30% high dosages) and dissolves the precipitations. Thixotropy is the formation of loops of unsaturated groving molecules in the fuel which is a result of polimerization of heavy paraffin and wax like as honeycomb or fiber. This formation is intercepted by the help of Organo Metallic Manganese and avoids the progress to backwards.

When air percentage in the boiler is decreased during combustion, Sulphur Trioxide formation is avoided. But if the air concentration is decreased too much the result is the missing combustion and increasing soot, and most importantly; increasing fuel consumption.  A study held in United States proved that Organo Metallic Manganese decreased the SO3 content of  flue gas  from 24,5 ppm to 13,7 ppm.

Organo Metallic Compounds which are added to the fuel in certain percentages decreases the oxygen requirement and prevents the formation of V2O5 and SO3. Accordingly, increases the melting point of silicates in order to prevent them sticking on the surfaces to form deposits.
 

Manganese alloys take place in the structure of deposits and forms a structure like sponge. This formation decreases the strenght of deposits. Accordingly cleaning of the soot becomes easier.

Oktan-f6 - complementary additive main usage aim is listed below;

1. Due to catalyzer effect it increases the efficiency of combustion in the boiler.
2. Thanks to decreasing oxygen requirement it decreases the flue gas temperature.
3. Decreases the soot and black fumes.
4. Decreases breakdown and discontinious combustion and increases efficiency.
5. Decreases the oxygen requirement.
6. Prevents corrosion on metal installations.
7. Decreases deposit forming rates.

Consuming Oktan-f6 together with Fuel-Oil helps to decrease the air pollution. SO2 and SO3 particule based fumes which causes diseases and death is decreased to harmless rates.  Decreasing the rate of Sulphur based gas provides a decrease on H2SO4 formation rate. So it means a decrease on acid rain formation.  Based on studies carried out in most of the countries proved that Organo Metallic Manganese is the most efficient and superior additive by means of above mentioned effects.
To increase boiler combustion efficiency and to provide fuel save, Oktan-f6 must be used and air-fuel mixture rate should be less.

THE EFFECT OF ORGANO METALLIC MANGANESE ON CORROSION PREVENTION

Manganese is a transition group element on periodic table. Its atomic number is 25(proton number) . It carries the basic characteristics of transition group. The most well known characteristic is being “metallic”. If concerned that there is just so few valance electrons on outer shell, this is a natural result.  Also another characteristic property of Manganese and other same group elements (on the contrary of 1.2. group metals, Magnesium is a 2. group metal) is being so brittle and showing high melting points. This property is because of particularly small atomic diameters and covalent bondings between some ions. Based on this, we can use Manganese compounds more easily for fighting against corrosion. Below we try to summarize how metallic Manganese and Oktan-f6 which involves metallic Manganese takes place for fighting against corrion.

As well known, SO3 which takes place in combustion gas and water vapour as a product of combustion, reacts and forms  sulphuric acid (H2SO4)  (low temperature corrosion).  Even the Sulphuric Acid amount which forms in this way is too low it is enough to increase the dew point (when combustion gases are cooloed the temperature which is enough cool to form the first liduid drop is known as dew point) of gases from 430-460C (water dew point) to 1200-1600C.
When the combustion gas touches the surface which has the temperature lower than acid dew point, the content of sulphuric acid vapour starts to get liquid and forms corrosion by time.

The basic reason of this formation is SO3, so there are two ways to prevent from corrosion;

1. To avoid the formation of SO3.
2. To bind the SO3 to another compound.

We can summarize as below how we can achieve;

The Sulphur in the fuel gets oxidized to SO2. And some of SO2 reacts with the oxygen and turns to SO3.

        SO2 + O     =      SO3

Since the reaction is reversible SO3 formation will be much more when the oxygen partial pressure is high (higher fuel-oxygen mixture). Here comes the indirect effect of Oktan-f6. The effect of Oktan-f6 decreases the rate of air-fuel mixture. This is the first preventive effect of Oktan-f6.

Manganese reacts with atomic oxygen before SO2. So the atomic oxygen that will oxidize SO2 to SO3 decreases.

        MnO + O     =     MnO2

Binding the SO3 to another compound

Manganese and Manganese Oxides reacts with SO3 and forms Managnese Sulphates as below. This compound is harmless, non corrosive. So most of the SO3 gas can be bounded like this.

        MnO + SO3     =     MnSO4

Particularly for heat facilities, corrosion because of the Sulphur in fuel causes losses. To protect the system from corrosion we tried to explain how Oktan-f6 “Ornago Metallic Manganese” can help.

HOT AND COLD END CORROSION

THE EFFECT OF MAGNESIUM AND MANGANESE COMPOUNDS ON CORROSION PROTECTION AND PREVENTION FROM SCALE FORMATION

In case of using Magnesium based additives, the sulphur in fuel gets oxidized and
S + O2     =     SO2  forms. If there is excess air and if the conditions are suitable SO2 is oxidized to SO3. SO2 + ½ O2   =   SO3  equilibrium reaction, gets converted at maximum rates around 450 0C with V2O5 presence.
Considering this temperature, the SO3 formation at combustion zone is too low. Because of this;
( I )   MgO + SO3   =    MgSO4  reaction  can not hold SO3 since SO3 is not formed in hotspot area. After hotspot area SO3 can form but in these low temperature zones there is no MnO compound exists.
On the other hand the reaction that may happen at in hotspot zone is;
( II )  MgO + SO2 + ½ O2   =  MgSO4. This reaction holds the Sulphates. This reaction is also an equilibrium reaction and is up to the temperature and partial pressure of SO2 exists in combustion gas.

Here the equilibrium constant is  K=[SO2] [O2] ½ , if the exponential power is considered in this reaction, it is seen that the importance of SO2 compound is greater than O2.  In normal conditions, the existence of O2 in combustion gas is pronounced as percentages although the SO2 is pronounced as ppm pates.
The reaction (II) as mentioned above is discovered to be under 8400C according to the researches. According to the research of Bertrand and his friends, the reaction of SO2 with MgO between 4300C and 7000C occurs less, therefore the capasity of MgO compunds to hold SO2 is reported as too low.

(1) Under the same subject, “ Babcock and Wilcox Co. ” one of the leader among boiler producers, Attig did a research. Although MgO compound injected into the pilot furnace, the combustion product showed no MgSO4 when analyzed with X-ray diffractometer. (2) For the additives which contents MgO, this is why SO2 reaction kinetics is not calculated through Magnesium but through other ingredients. For example, dolomite mineral which involves so much Magnesium Compounds is used for to hold SO2. But here, as MgSO4 is not formed during combustion conditions, kinetic calculations are done through the other ingradient of dolomite, CaO. 
     

As a Result: It is not possible to tie up Sulphur Oxides with Magnesium Oxide in combustion zone. But SO2 makes a reaction with MnO2 to form MnSO4 and it is possible to tie up Sulphur Oxides in combustion zone.
        MnO2 + SO2     =     MnSO4
As noticed by the above reaction, MnSO4 formation is free from any other ingredients (O2), therefore increases the stochiometric Oxygen requirement. The application results support the litreature. As it is not possible to decrease the SO2 rate in flue gas contamination by using MgO based additives, MnO based additives provides a decrease of SO2 rate by 60-70%.
   
So, by using Manganese based additive;   

• By decreasing Sulphur Oxide percentage, it is directly effecting the decrease of air pollution rate.
• Prevents the formation of corrosion on cold surfaces.
• In hot zone, the formation of compounds which have low melting points is avoided.

Physical characteristics of Fuel-Oil is obviously viewed to be better in case Manganese based additives are used together. Less excess air is needed to have better combustion. As a result, Sulphur Oxides are hold and bounded in order not to form H2SO4  and  V2O5 which has the catalyst effect on formation of SO3 is oxidized to lower stages (V2O3,VO,V2O4), this also provides an increase of melting point of the ash. A study on this item clarifies that the melting point of ash without any additive is detected as 9500C  with a DTA device. After adding a Manganaese based additive it is stated that 12000C were not enough to melt the ash. This case shows that ash is not allowed to stick on the surfaces and the shell formed on the wall surface has gained a brittle structure.    
On the other hand additive should not involve some ions and cations to cause corrosion. If involves, it causes corrosion on external surfaces and causes formation of toxic ingredients.
In metal industry, the compounds formed by surface reactions causes metal losses and on the other hand these surface reactions causes unwanted surface defects. Because of this scale formation is carefully observed. These surface compounds has high melting points and low heat transfer coefficient. So in the mills they intercept the homogen heating and uniform waving structure of metals. When surface defects are examined, it is seen that the scale formation is of the metal oxides and sulphates. Fuel-Oil is a heavy, high viscosity liquid. Thanks to this pulverization is not easy and more oxygen must enter to react with Fuel-Oil. More oxygen means more scale. Oktan-f6 decreases the excess air rate and decreases the oxygen so it means decrease in scale rate.
