Valve Treat

A liquid compound that reduces the harmful effects of vanadium oxides and sodium salts in diesel engines.

Product Description

Applications

Used on steam and motor vessels burning heavy fuel oils to improve combustion efficiency, reduce corrosion, disperse sludge and separate water. Primarily formulated for diesel engines, to help prevent valve failure by reducing the harmful effects of vanadium oxides and sodium salts.

Directions for Use

Introduced manually into the fuel tanks prior to or during bunkering, so fuel movement blends it in completely; can also be dosed automatically into the fuel oil service line ahead of the service pump via a metering pump. The Vecom FOT dosing system is recommended.

Dosage

Typical rate is 1 L per 4 tonnes of fuel oil at a normal vanadium level of 100 ppm; testing vanadium content at each bunkering gives a more accurate, cost-efficient dose.
