AFC-705 technology is based on the catalytic effects of organo-metalics. The main active ingredients are synergistic, multifunctional combustion catalysts containing combustion surface modifiers and deposit surface modifiers. AFC-705 can be used with any liquid hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel, residual fuel and HFO.
In an AFC-705 treated environment, the surfaces of the fuel particles and deposits are modified such that the catalyst lowers the energy of activation of the deposit surfaces. The modified surface deposits can then burn up at a much lower temperature.
A typical engine develops a temperature gradient ranging from 200o C at the combustion chamber wall, to 1200o C in the combustion center. Many of the fuel components require a higher temperature than 600o C to combust. It is not possible to completely burn heavy fuel components in temperatures ranging from 200o – 600o C. Incomplete combustion forms the deposits, harmful emissions, and the consequential mechanical problems.
Combustion chamber deposit surfaces and fuel particles treated with AFC-705 begin to combust at temperatures as low as 200o C and then burn over the entire temperature range. This results in complete combustion and eventually in the total removal of all engine deposits, while at the same time preventing new deposit buildup. Complete combustion leads to better performance, lower fuel consumption, lower emissions (CO, SOx, NOx, HC's and PM-10), lowering operating cost, maintenance and downtime.
The process of deposit removal begins immediately, and can take up to 600 hours or 4,000 miles. The actual time needed depends on operation, history, and age of the equipment. AFC-705 treated fuel completely removes the deposits from fuel injectors, intake and exhaust valves, and other exposed combustion chamber parts of dirty engines, while preventing deposits in new engines.
In older engines the use of AFC-705 treated fuel is even more pronounced than the new ones. The performance of new engines will not degrade and maintenance will remain at a minimum. A gasoline engine will not experience an octane requirement increase.
Fuel treated with AFC-705 Combustion Catalyst burns completely so that new engines stay clean, and older, dirty engines become clean. AFC-705 is the most cost effective way to conserve energy and protect the environment while enhancing performance and engine life.
AFC-705 is available in 8oz bottles, 1 gallon containers, 55 gallon drums or by various sizes of tank trucks and rail cars.
AFC-705 treatment ratio is 1:5,000 (one oz. treats 39 gallons).
