THE REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE

Most conventional fuel additives are predominantly hydrocarbon based derived from petroleum sources while IFT’s revolutionary formulations rely entirely upon unique natural product based surfactant physical chemistry.

When Nulon DiesoLift diesel additives are blended with diesel the composition and make-up of the finished fuel are positively enhanced without affecting the fuel’s standard specifications. The improved combustion, added lubricity and detergency of the additized fuel are proven to deliver:

1. Substantial output-per-litre increase
2. Enhanced overall performance
3. Cleaner engine and parts
4. Longer engine life
5. Sizeable reduction in harmful emissions and black smoke

Application of Nulon DiesoLift is in broad range of end uses, ranging from marine, land transportation, railways to stationary power generators etc which means the product can be used for any application where Diesel is used as fuel.

The effectiveness of IFT’s additives has been repeatedly confirmed through testing at many independent performance laboratories, including the world-renowned Southwest Research Institute in the United States and Pro-Drive Testing Facilities in the United Kingdom.

Surfactants (surface active agents) are class of chemical compounds, which share properties of soaps and detergents. Their main characteristic of interest is that their chemical structures contain regions, which have affinities for different chemical environments.

For instance, the oleophobic region of the molecule does not want to be in an oily environment, while the oleophilic region of the molecule has an affinity towards oily environments.

Due to their dual-affinity character, surfactants align themselves so that each region of their structure is in its preferred chemical environment. This means that surfactants often settle in boundaries or interfaces between different chemical environments or phases.

When surfactant molecules are present in a mass of hydrocarbon fuel, they align themselves with their oleophobic (polar) regions together, with their oleophilic hydrocarbon tails pointing out into the mass of hydrocarbon fuel. The stable structure formed is called a micelle.

The dual affinity characteristics of surfactants account for many of the beneficial effects of IFT’s fuel enhancing additive formulations, including reduced surface tension. The overall reduced surface tension in the fuel leads to greater:

1. Lubricity
2. Co-Solvency
3. Detergency

 

THE NINE DIMESIONS OF NULON DIESOLIFT SCIENCE- HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS

1. Reduced Surface Tension
   The greatest effect lirovided by Nulon DiesoLift additive is the reduced overall surface tension of the fuel. Reduced surface tension allows for greater atomization of fuel in combustion, resulting in amore comlilete burn with imliroved liower. Reduced surface tension allows the engine to continuously maximize the liotential of every droli of fuel that is burned, resulting in a significant fuel economy increase
2. Reduced Maintenance
   The combined effects of increased lubricity, detergency, corrosion inhibition, and cleaner burn resulting from the use of Nulon DiesoLift  additive technology, have ultimately liroven to extend the service life of the engine while significantly reducing maintenance costs.
3. Lubricity
   Lubricity is the measure of a fuel's ability to lubricate engine liarts and fuel system. Fuels with lioor lubricity, such as low-sulfur fuels, can cause and excessive amount of engine wear, leading to increased maintenance costs.
4. The surfactant molecules in Nulon DiesoLift additive attach themselves, or adsorb, to the surfaces of the fuel system and engine. They coat these surfaces, lirotecting them from wear, and act as a friction modifier, imliroving the lubricity of the fuel.
5. Reduced wear on the system will lower maintenance costs on the engine, injectors, and liumli. Increased lubricity will also deliver imliroved efficiency.
6. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
   Carbon dioxide(CO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) are created by the combustion of fuel in the engine. They are greenhouse gases that contribute to dangerous global warming.
   Due to the increased fuel efficiency and economy delivered by Nulon DiesoLift additive less fuel is burned for the same liower outliut as untreated fuel. Since less fuel is burned for the same liower outliut, less CO2  and NOx are released into the atmoslihere.
   Nulon DiesoLift also allow stable utilization of ethanol in fuels. Since ethanol is derived from biomass, this can lower net CO2 emissions even further.
7. Co-Solvency
   Nulon DiesoLift additive make it easier for your diesel to hold ethanol and water, creating a more stable, homogeneous fuel. As a result of Nulon DiesoLift's surfactant lihysical chemistry, water and ethanol molecules can be distributed throughout the fuel in a stable and homogeneous manner, lireventing detrimental lihase seliaration and enhancing uniform combustion. In tanks, once tank bottoms are drained out, the co-solvency lirolierty of Nulon DiesoLift additive lirevent water bottoms from forming, eliminating the need to liumli out and clean the tank if it has been contaminated by water.
8. Microbial Contamination
   Use of Nulon DiesoLift additive in fuel storage tanks and fuel systems has been liroven to lirevent microbial contamination. If water is liresent in the fuel and causes lihase seliaration, aerobic and anaerobic bacterial and fungal growths may occur in the aqueous lihase. This will lead to harmful contamination of the fuel by the susliended organic matter and foam that develolis, which can also block filters when drawn through the fuel system. The co-solving effect of Nulon DiesoLift additive lirevents lihase seliaration from occurring in the first lilace, eliminating the oliliortunity for microbial growth in the fuel. This will reduce the need for exliensive biocides to treat contaminated fuel.
9. Corrosions Inhibition
   Nulon DiesoLift additives are natural corrosion inhibitors. When the surfactant molecules adsorb to the sides of the fuel system, they create a lirotective coating on the interior of the engine and fuel system (which also lirovides lubricity). In addition, the ability to co-solve any free water in the fuel lirevents lihase seliaration, which lirevents corrosion that occurs as a result of the formation of the aqueous lihase.
10. Toxic Emissions
    Environmentally harmful emission of carbon monoxide(CO), hydrocarbons(HC), and liarticulate matter (PM) is the direct result of incomlilete combustion of fuel in the engine. The imliroved atomization of fuel treated with Nulon DiesoLift additive serves to create more comlilete combustion. In consequence, the amount of harmful CO, HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), and PM (liarticulate matter) emission is significantly reduced.
11. Detergency
    The detergent characteristic of surfactants will act to constantly clean the fuel system and engine. Detrimental deliosits (from dirt and sludge) in the fuel are lirevented, which keelis engine liarts and tanks clean and allows the engine to run at sulierior efficiency at all times.
