A S Harrison & Co supplies a comprehensive range of Marine Fuel Oil and Marine Gas Oil additives designed to meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry. With increasing regulations on sulphur content, marine fuel additives have become essential in ensuring fuel stability, improving cold flow properties, and enhancing lubricity.
Marine gas oil additives have evolved significantly in response to stringent sulphur restrictions. Lower sulphur levels, while beneficial for reducing emissions, pose challenges such as reduced fuel stability, compromised cold flow properties, and decreased lubricity. Our advanced additives address these issues effectively, ensuring that marine fuels remain stable, perform well in low temperatures, and maintain necessary lubricating properties to protect engine components.
Fuel oil additives: Our fuel oil additives are formulated to improve the overall quality and performance of marine fuel oils. These additives enhance combustion efficiency, reduce emissions, and prevent the formation of deposits on engine components. By maintaining cleaner engines, these additives extend the lifespan of marine engines and reduce maintenance costs, ensuring smoother and more reliable operations.
Fuel system icing inhibitors (FSII): In marine applications, especially in colder climates, the formation of ice crystals in fuel systems can lead to blockages and operational disruptions. Our fuel system icing inhibitors prevent ice crystal formation, ensuring uninterrupted fuel flow and engine performance even in freezing conditions. Moreover, FSII also helps in preventing biological growth in fuels, which can cause fuel degradation and clog filters, thereby enhancing fuel quality and reliability.
Static dissipator additives: Static electricity buildup during the transfer and handling of marine fuels can pose significant safety risks. Static dissipator additives reduce the risk of static discharge by increasing the conductivity of the fuel. This ensures safer fuel handling and minimises the risk of accidents, enhancing overall operational safety in marine environments.
At A S Harrison & Co, we understand the unique challenges faced by the maritime industry. Our comprehensive range of marine fuel additives is designed to address these challenges, ensuring optimal fuel performance, compliance with environmental regulations, and enhanced safety. By partnering with us, you gain access to innovative and effective solutions that support the efficient and reliable operation of your marine vessels.
Choose A S Harrison & Co for all your marine fuel additive needs and experience the benefits of superior performance, compliance, and safety in your maritime operations.
Product and customer insights
CHALLENGE A 40-hectare raw water storage dam had persistent issues with blue-green algae (BGA) blooms, leading to taste and odor problems. Despite the presence of an aeration system to address water stratification and mixing, BGA counts remained seasonally high, particularly in summer and autumn. Upgraded aeration in 2018 did not resolve the issue, leaving the […]
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
CHALLENGE A power plant relying on ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) faced a critical operational challenge. A wastewater treatment upset severely fouled the UF system, drastically reducing water production. Despite multiple cleaning attempts with sodium hypochlorite and citric acid, transmembrane pressure (TMP) remained high, and flux showed no improvement. The plant’s inability to meet […]
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
CHALLENGE A municipal water reuse plant processing 8 million gallons per day (MGD) experienced severe fouling and scaling issues, including calcium phosphate and silica deposits. With steep feed pressure increases and differential pressures in both stages, the plant required frequent cleanings every 4 to 6 weeks, amounting to 32 cleanings annually. Each cleaning cycle resulted […]
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant on Florida’s west coast, with a 20 MGD capacity, faced high operational costs due to its reliance on 93% sulfuric acid for pH adjustment. The plant used a combination of a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membranes and fiberglass-wrapped membranes across 10 trains, each operating at 75% recovery. […]
CHALLENGE A gold processing plant in New Zealand sought to improve gold recovery efficiency while addressing high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels. Elevated TOC increased the Preg-Robbing Factor (PRF), reducing the plant’s ability to efficiently recover gold during the Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) process. The traditional use of kerosene as a carbon blanking agent offered limited efficacy, […]
CHALLENGE A municipal reverse osmosis (RO) plant, with a capacity of 2 million gallons per day (MGD), faced frequent system cleanings, every 2-4 months, due to rising feed pressure. The plant, which sources water from brackish wells and uses Toray TMG-20D-400 membranes in a (16×7) -> (8×7) train configuration, was operating at 78% recovery. Despite […]
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
