One way to describe how the Fitch Fuel Catalyst benefits the consumer or engine builder is by the differences in the composition of the fuel that results from exposure to the catalyst.

Gasoline

In gasoline (C7 - C11), we have measured changes due to the presence of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Here are some of the more significant ones and the implication of them.  Analysis of the gasoline distribution after contact with the FFC shows changes in the composition of organic compounds in gasoline.

Light non-gasoline hydrocarbons present in the untreated fuel like C1 - C4 are markedly diminished. Branched hydrocarbons larger than C4 are enhanced.

Data confirms that the Fitch Fuel Catalyst successfully:

Suppresses bacterial growth in gasoline minimizing this problem.

Improves the Oxidation Stability of gasoline as measured by ASTM D525.

The structure of a hydrocarbon molecule (straight, ring, or branched in shape) as well the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms per molecule is important to how well a molecule performs in a combustion engine. Molecules with the same number of hydrogen and carbon atoms but with different structures behave differently in an engine.

Highly branched fuel molecules have been shown to be more desirable than straight chain molecules even when the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms per molecule is identical.

An increase in the branched compounds and a reduction in the small light hydrocarbons enhance the octane number of gasoline leading to improvement in engine performance and reduction of soot/carbon.
       

Keep fuel fresh & suppress bacterial growth

Microbial Contamination

Certain bacteria and fungi are present in diesel fuel tanks. 

These “bugs,” which feed on hydrocarbons, if left to grow unchecked, can contribute to filter plugging and corrosion as well as other operational problems.

Avoidance of microbial contamination can be achieved by the use of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst.

In general, the formation of carbonaceous deposits on metallic surfaces significantly reduces the efficiency of internal combustion engines. The most significantly affected areas in the engine are the injectors and the combustion chamber.

The fuel injector plays a critical role in engine function. The injector in a diesel engine sprays a metered, timed amount of fuel into the hot, compressed air in the combustion chamber. Injector deposits form over time on the small injector openings. Engine power and combustion efficiency are directly related to the quality of the injected fuel spray. Partial or complete blockage of an injector nozzle results in a poor fuel spray and hence poor combustion characteristics leading to reduced fuel economy, increased emissions and reduced power.

The modification of the injector spray changes the aerosol droplet size, spray angle and spray penetration. The particulate deposits formed during poor combustion may also be deposited on the combustion chamber surface. This deposit is a result of poor in-cylinder combustion, combined with changes to the fuel injection characteristics caused by injector deposits, the fuel jet may impinge on the chamber surface resulting in some fuel being absorbed into the soot layer on the chamber walls. This further reduces economy and is detrimental producing higher emissions.

The Fitch fuel catalyst significantly reduces carbon development and then helps to keep the engine cleaner.  Re-formulating the fuel prior to combustion provides a means of an overall better combustion process eliminating many of the damaging effects of sub-standard combustion.

More complex (branched) fuel molecules such as those produced through the influence of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst reduce power robbing knock. It has been determined through experiments that branched fuel molecules such as iso-octane are much less likely to knock compared to normal pentane.

The distribution curve of the various molecular weights and structures within gasoline show a reduction in the less desirable molecule population after exposure to the Fitch Fuel Catalyst and a marked increase in the concentration of molecules of desirable weight and structure. These modifications in the fuel improvement result in the improvements in power and emissions measured in engine tests.

Higher-octane fuels allow for more advanced spark timing.  Advanced spark timings produce higher in cylinder pressures and temperatures producing greater engine output torque and power.  The high fuel quality resulting from exposure to the Fitch Fuel Catalyst insures quality of combustion. The Fitch Fuel Catalyst is an octane enhancer and fuel stabilizer in one permanent device.

In diesel fuels, the Fitch Fuel Catalyst reduces the number of highly oxidized molecules. This increases the cetane value of the fuel and allows the engine to extract more power from a gallon of fuel.

Technical benefits by using the “Fitch Fuel Catalyst”












Environmental benefits

By using the Fitch Fuel Catalyst, engine combustion will be optimal which will result in a significant reduction in exhaust gases as: Reduced carbon emission which contribute to the negative Green-House effect on the ozone layer.

Reduced exhaust gas constituents such as CO, a toxic gas with acute effect and can be lethal for humans.

NOx, a toxic substance causes irritation of the respiratory organs and damaging the lung tissues. 

HC which is a potential carcinogenic substance. Oxidants which cause severe irritation of the mucus membranes of the eyes, nose, and throat.

Reduce smog that causes problems in visibility and respiratory organs in human Subjects. 

The reductions mentioned above will provide a significant contribution for clean air policies and public health.

The reduction in harmful emissions is in accordance with the Indonesian governments “BLUE SKY PROJECT” and other agreements. supporting the reduction in harmful vehicle emissions.
