F.O.T. ULS

Description

F.O.T.-ULS is a new generation fuel additive which improves the lubricity of all Ultra Low Sulphur Marine
Fuel Oils. This combination of solvents, lubricity additives, and corrosion inhibitors, is the only solution for
such type of fuels. F.O.T.-ULS is highly cost effective due to the very low dosage needed, yielding from its
concentrated nature.

Emission concerns have led to the application of new regulations in Marine Fuels. From 1st January 2015,
ships travelling within 200 nautical miles of shore in North America, the Baltic, North seas and through English channel must limit sulphur content into fuel oil to 0.1% (Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oil), down from 1%,
according to International Maritime Organization rules - Annex VI of MARPOL - Sulphur limits, as adopted
by IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 58th Session in October 2008 - Revised MARPOL Annex VI – Resolution MEPC.176 (58).
Reducing the level of Sulphur compounds in the Marine Fuel Oil can reduce the ability of the oil to
lubricate the injection system of the engine, causing the fuel injection pump to seize. Lower lubricity can
significantly increase wear of fuel pumps, valves and injector nozzles over an extended period of use.
F.O.T.-ULS provides superior lubricity properties to the Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oils in order to avoid
these eventualities. Furthermore, it prevents problems associated with the accumulations of injection deposits.
