F.O.T. LS

Description

F.O.T.-LS is a fuel additive which improves the lubricity of all low Sulfur Marine Fuels. It is a combination of
specific solvents, lubricity additives, ashless dispersants, detergents and corrosion inhibitors.
Emission concerns have led to the application of new regulations in Marine Fuels.
According to the revised IMO MARPOL Annex VI-2008 the Sulphur content globally shall not exceed a 3,5% content in all Marine Fuel Oils. However, European Union regulations stipulate Emission Control Areas (ECA’s) where the Sulphur content in the fuel shall not exceed 1.0%.
Reducing the level of Sulphur compounds in Marine Fuel Oils can reduce the ability of the oil to lubricate the
injection system of the engine, causing the fuel injection pump of the engine to seize. Lower lubricity can significantly increase wear of fuel pumps, valves and injector nozzles over an extended period of use.
F.O.T.-LS provides superior lubricity properties to the Marine Fuel Oils in order to avoid these situations.
Furthermore contains detergent and dispersant additives to prevent problems associated with the accumulations of injector deposits.
F.O.T.-LS reduces significantly the injector deposits and therefore has a positive effect on emissions (smoke,
carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and particulates). Additionally, the fuel system is protected against corrosion.
