More Combustion With less Fuel

The XRG marine fuel treatment was formulated exclusively to combat

OR merely to cope^with high sulphur content, OR for the sole purpose of dealing with high-carbon residue and/or'"sludge""~"' (although it is rather effective in alf1^^^-^-41^- of these areas).

The XRG catalyst is not just a solvent or sludge-remover. It is, rather, a **» combustion-efficiency improver. XRG is, quite ~ simply, reduced vessel operating costs via ^ more complete combustion. In petro-chemical terms

XRG improves hydrocarbon combustion in the vapor stage. In layman's terms, we are talking about a combustion environment wherein all or nearly all of a given fuel's inherent

BTU value is combusted and thus utilized. ••n
