F.O.T. - LS

F.O.T.-LS is a fuel additive which improves the lubricity of all low Sulfur Marine Fuels. It is a combination of specific solvents, lubricity additives, ashless dispersants, detergents and corrosion inhibitors.

Emission concerns have led to the application of new regulations in Marine Fuels. According to the revised IMO MARPOL Annex VI-2008 the Sulphur globally will not exceed the 3,5% in all Marine Fuel Oils. However, there will be SOx Emission Control Areas (SECA’s) where the Sulphur content in fuel must not be more than 1.0%. Strictly regulations are in effect now in European Union ports, where the  Sulfur  content  of  fuels  in  these  areas  is  not  allowed to be more than 0,1%. Reducing  the  level  of  Sulphur  compounds  in  the Marine Fuel Oils can reduce the ability of the oil to  lubricate  the  injection  system  of  the  engine, causing  the  fuel  injection  pump  of  the  engine  to fail. Lower lubricity can significantly increase wear of fuel pumps, valves and injector nozzles over an extended period of use.

F.O.T.  -  LS  provides  superior  lubricity  properties to  the  Marine  Fuel  Oils  in  order  to  avoid  these situations.  Furthermore  contains  detergent  and dispersant  additives  to  prevent  problems  associated with the accumulations of injector deposits.

F.O.T. - LS reduces significantly the injector deposits and therefore has a positive effect on emissions (smoke,  carbon  monoxide,  unburned  hydrocarbons  and  particulates). Additionally,  the  fuel  system is protected against corrosion.

Advantages and Characteristics

  • Provides  superior  lubricity  properties  to  the Marine Fuel Oils.
  • Prevents wear on contacting metal Surfaces and their fail.
  • Reduces significantly injector deposits.
  • Protects fuels systems against corrosion and will not separate in the fuel tank.
  • Contains ash less dispersants and detergents.
  • Does not contain chlorinated solvents.
  • Well dispersing product into the fuel.
  • Easy to apply and use in the fuel oil with excellent results.

Application and use

Dosing Procedure

For Marine Gas Oils (MGO) and Marine Diesel Oils (MDO), the normal dosage of F.O.T - LS is 1 lt per 5 cubic meters of fuel.

For  Intermediate  Fuel  Oils  (IFO)  and  Heavy  Fuel Oils (HFO) the dosage of 1lt of F.O.T - LS per 4 cubic meters  of  Fuel  Oil,  to  deal  with  the  problem  of injector deposits and emissions.

For  Fuel  Oils  with  more  than  2%  of  Sulphur  content lubricity additive is not required, because the Sulphur compounds provide proper lubrication.

Feeding Procedure

F.O.T - LS should be dosed directly in the fuel storage  tank,  preferably  prior  to  bunkering. This  way the product is better dispersed in the fuel.

It is suggested, to dose firstly the requested quantity of F.O.T - LS and then add the Low Sulphur Fuel Oil in the settling tank, in order to accomplish better homogenization.
