Combustion Catalyst

For Residual Fuel

Combustion Improver - Emission Reducer
Technol Combustion Catalyst is a premium Residual Fuel improver that increases fuel combustibility, enabling a higher BTU output. Smoke and soot emissions are reduced along with erosive slag deposits. Resulting in increased fuel and boiler efficiency, and extending component service life, decreasing maintenance intervals, costs, and downtime. Combustion Improvement - extends the carbon burnout reaction to lower flue gas temperatures and speeds up the rate of reaction reducing the carbon present in the flyash, which actively reduces exhaust plume opacity, particulate matter, and carbon in the flue gas. Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) operation is also improved. Slag - trace metals of Vanadium, Sodium, and Sulfur that are oxidized and melted during the combustion process along with unburned carbon, deposit themselves on boiler tubes and surfaces. This leads to efficiency loss due to poor heat transfer and tube corrosion, major sources of maintenance, costs, and downtime. Technol Combustion Catalyst raises the melting point of these metals above combustion temperatures, causing them to remain a solid, therefore not being deposited on boiler tubes and inner boiler surfaces. Corrosion - Vanadium and Sulfur, the main corrosive trace metals inherent with heavy fuels, does not catalyze into acidic/ erosive slag deposits that foul backend equipment. Technol Combustion Catalyst provides unique, customized, multifunctional solutions to: Improve Combustion Allow emission reduction Provide operational flexibility Improve profitability Reduce maintenance and downtime
Usage directions: Apply 1 gallon for every 5,000 gallons of fuel before refueling to ensure faster mixing and distribution. Harmful if swallowed. Technol Combustion Catalyst is available in, 5-gallon Closed-Head Steel Pails 5-gallon Closed-Head Steel Drums 275- & 330-gallon Tote Bins for Bulk Applications For more information, please contact your Technol representative.

Technical Data Sheet
Combustion Improvement - provides for a more complete fuel burn which increases BTU output while using the same amount of fuel. Results are a reduction the amount of Carbon-In-Ash (CIA), Particulate Matter (PM), and carbon in the flue gas. Leading to reduced exhaust plume opacity, improved Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) operation, and less backend deposits. Corrosive Slag - During the combustion process Vanadium normally forms Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) which leads to the formation of liquid corrosive slag and catalyzes the oxidation of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) into Sulfur Trioxide (SO3). When SO3 mixes with moisture from the atmosphere or from leaking boiler tubes it forms corrosive sulfuric acid. The use of Technol Combustion Catalyst converts Vanadium into high melting point oxides of Vanadium trioxide (V2O3) and Vanadium tetroxide (V2O4). The presence of these lower oxides do not catalyze the oxidation of SO2 into SO3, so less corrosives are produced. Reducing excess air in the system will allow you to further drive oxidation of Vanadium to its lower oxidative state (V2O3 and V2O4) without sacrificing combustion or efficiency. Sulfur forms SO2 during combustion. SO2 can be oxidized into SO3 in the presents of V2O5 catalysts, which Technol Combustion Catalyst also reduces. SO3 reacts with water to form Sulfuric Acid (H3SO4) which is very corrosive to metal surfaces. The active ingredient Manganese (Mn) will convert the Iron Oxide Fe(III)2O3 to Fe(II)3O4 which will not catalyze SO2 into SO3. Reduced SO3 results in a lower acid dew point. This prevents the formation of corrosive H2SO4 on air heaters, ESP and colder metal parts. The presence of free acid also results in sticky deposits which prevent efficient operation of back end equipment. Technol Combustion Catalyst: Increases fuel and boiler efficiency

Cleans boiler heat transfer surfaces Reduced emissions & soot blowing Reduced atomizing steam Reduced cold-end deposits, corrosion.
