Our range of refinery additives is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of the industry. By working closely with refiners, we develop solutions that enhance refinery economics, overcome operational challenges, and adapt to shifting market demands. We offer these chemicals in various packaging sizes, from ISO tanks to pails, and provide bespoke refinery additive dosing equipment, allowing us to deliver a comprehensive solution tailored to our customers’ specific requirements.
Antioxidants: These additives prevent the oxidation of fuel, which can lead to the formation of gums and varnishes that degrade fuel quality and clog fuel systems. Antioxidants help maintain fuel stability and extend shelf life.
Biocides: Essential for controlling microbial growth in fuels, biocides prevent fuel degradation and filter clogging, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
Cetane number improvers: These additives enhance the combustion quality of diesel fuel, improving engine startability, reducing emissions, and ensuring smoother operation.
Cold flow improvers: Critical for preventing fuel gelling in low temperatures, these additives ensure reliable engine operation in cold weather by modifying wax crystals in the fuel.
Fuel oil additives: These additives improve the overall quality and performance of fuel oils, enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing emissions.
Fuel system icing inhibitors (FSII): FSII prevents the formation of ice crystals in fuel systems, ensuring uninterrupted fuel flow and performance in cold conditions.
LPG additives: Complete range of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Additives for use in heating, automotive and metalworking applications.
Lubricity improvers: These additives enhance the lubricating properties of fuels, protecting fuel pumps and injectors from wear and tear, thus extending their service life.
Metal deactivators: These additives prevent metal ions in fuel from catalyzing oxidation reactions, preserving fuel stability and quality.
Scavengers: The SulfurPurge™ range allows refiners to efficiently improve fuel safety and quality, and reliably meet specification requirements.
Static dissipator additives: These additives reduce the risk of static electricity buildup during fuel handling, ensuring safety.
At A S Harrison & Co, we understand the complexities of refinery operations and the importance of maintaining fuel quality and safety. Our comprehensive range of refinery fuel additives, coupled with bespoke dosing equipment, ensures that we can meet the unique needs of each refiner. Partner with us to optimise your production processes, achieve compliance with fuel specifications, and enhance safety in your 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.
