Valve Treat, Make:Vecom

Adding VALVE TREAT to bunker fuel forms a complex compound, that deactivates the vanadium and sodium common in heavy bunker fuels. The melting point of vanadium pentoxide is 675°C and that of sodium sulphate is 880°C. When VALVE TREAT is employed, the complexes formed with vanadium and sodium sulphate by the agents in VALVE TREAT melt at about 1100°C

Application - VALVE TREAT is used both in steam and motor vessels burning heavy fuel oils to improve combustion efficiency, reduce corrosion, disperse sludge and separate water. It is primarily formulated for use in diesel engines to prevent valves failure

Directions for use - VALVE TREAT is introduced manually into the fuel tanks prior or during bunkering. The fuel movement on entering the tank will blend the product completely with the fuel. The product can also be dosed automatically into the fuel oil service line, prior to the service pump by means of a metering pump. The VECOM MARINE FOT dosing system is recommended.

Product dosage - Dosage requirements depend on the nature and amount of impurities, but typical dosage rate is 1 l of VALVE TREAT per 4 tons of fuel oil, considering a normal vanadium level of 100 PPM. To establish a more accurate and cost efficient dosage rate, it could be useful to test or know the vanadium content at each bunkering
