Refinery Chemicals
Our portfolio of Refinery Chemicals provides cost effective chemistry for petroleum and bio refiners to optimise production, meet fuel specification and address safety concerns.
Our Refinery Chemicals can, in the most part, be categorised (alphabetically) as below.
- Antifoulants
- Reduce the fouling of metallic surfaces in refining units such as crude unit preheater and hydrocracker.
- Antioxidants
- Used to stabilise gasoline and jet fuels by retarding gum formation. Provides an increased induction period.
- Biocides
- A non corrosive fuel additive that kills microbes which can grow in diesel, bio-diesel and jet fuel resulting in clogged filters and corroded fuel systems.
- Cetane Number Improvers
- Increase the cetane number of diesel fuel and provide a positive operational improvement in cold start, emissions and noise reduction.
- Cold Flow Improvers
- Improves low temperature operability performance of diesel by depressing cloud point, cold filter plugging point or pour point of middle distillates.
- Conductivity Improvers
- Static dissipaters help prevent potentially dangerous static discharge when loading low conductivity fuels.
- Corrosion Inhibitors
- A full range that provide neutralisation of corrosive species in process streams and inhibit the corrosion tendency of fuel/water mix and protects fuel systems and distribution infrastructure. Liquid and vapour phase corrosion inhibitors also available that afford protection of infrastructure including pipe work and concrete.
- Demulsifiers
- Provides enhanced protection against the development of fuel/water emulsions.
- Diesel Stabilisers
- Additives that provide colour stability and reduce degradation of Diesel.
- Dyes and Markers
- Coloured dyes used for oil, fuels and other products to differentiate grades or provide unique identification/traceability. Markers provide invisible (covert) traceability allowing identification of fuel and quantitative analysis of purity.
- Heavy Fuel Oil Stabilisers
- Additives to control sludge formation in HFO.
- Lubricity Additives
- Used in LSD and ULSD diesel to meet fuel and automakers acceptable wear specifications.
- Metal Deactivators
- Problem solving or insurance additive protecting against copper contamination. Untreated copper contamination increases the instability of fuel.
- Octane Number Improvers
- Improves the octane response of gasoline resulting in more power, better acceleration and smoother running.
