BioCIDE Biodiesel 2000

Price: Call for Pricing

Biocide Biodiesel 2000 a micro-biocide with high performance antimicrobial agent, developed specially to combat problems of microbial contamination and spoilage in hydrocarbon and vegetable based fuels. Biocide Biodiesel 2000 is a broad spectrum preservative and disinfectant for the treatment of diesel fuels, kerosene and heating oil fuels, the active components being isothiazolone compounds.
As water finds its way into fuel storage tanks, often observed as fuel haziness, microorganisms breed, forming slime and emulsion that leads to filter blockage and corrosion of metal tanks. Once transported, the contaminated fuel contains the accumulated bacteria and fungi which cause the blockage of downstream filters, pumps and injectors.
Treatment with Biocide Biodiesel 2000 will kill off bacterial and fungal contamination and assist the breakdown of slimes and coagulated biological sludges. This will help to prevent filters from blinding, and allow clean fuel to flow normally. An extra advantage is the elimination of the often deep emulsion layer at the fuel/water interface which will facilitate water removal by draining or by the fuel line separator. It is this emulsion that is often the critical problem when it enters the fuel line after fuel contents of a tank are disturbed or shaken.
Fuel treated with Biocide Biodiesel 2000 will remain protected from contamination over extended periods of time. It will also resist contamination if re-inoculated from other sources. In studies conducted over an 8 week period, contaminated fuels were treated with fuel biocides. The fuel treated with Biocide Biodiesel 2000 remained free from contamination for the duration of the trial. None of the competitive products evaluated could match this performance.
Biocide Biodiesel 2000 has outstanding performance in a variety of applications and has wide ranging approvals and endorsements for use in aviation, marine, automotive, home heating and military fuels. Full details of approvals for Biocide Biodiesel 2000 are contained in a separate bulletin.

APPLICATION

Biocide Biodiesel 2000 is normally dosed at the rate of approximately 300 ppm, which corresponds to 0.3 kg per 1000 litres of fuel volume. Biocide Biodiesel 2000 is being dosed as a precautionary measure, when there is no evidence of microbial contamination, a lower dosage rate of approximately 150 ppm (0.15 kg per 1000 litres) will be appropriate. In cases of severe contamination, however, a dosage rate of up to 1000 ppm (1 kg per 1000 litres) should be used. The higher dosage rates in these circumstances will also help to improve filter fuel flow in the short term. At 300 ppm a minimum retention time of 12 hours should be maintained but this may be reduced at the higher dosage rates. In general, the higher the concentration of biocide, the shorter the contact time required for a more complete kill but in all cases 24 hours retention is sufficient.
