ENERGY ADDITIVES INCORPORATED
When Lloyd Lack, founder of Energy Additives, launched a new fuel additive in the early 1980s, chemists and environmentalists alike were thrilled with the results. The new product alleviated issues like heavy ends, high emissions and lubrication challenges while meeting and exceeding environmental standards.
“The positive reception to the initial product made me realize the industry-wide need for product improvement,” said Lack. “As a result, I founded Energy Additives, Inc, a firm which focuses exclusively on fuel additives.”
Since its inception in 1984, the growing company has developed the world's only complete line of patented additives for the petroleum industry.
At the industry forefront
With 30 years experience as a fuel and oil analyst, Lack is uniquely equipped to respond to the changing needs of the industry and to an increasingly important corporate responsibility for the environment. Concentrating only on fuel additives enables Lack and his team to stay constantly apprised of the latest technological developments, integrating them immediately into their products. Fuel treatment formulas are created, and if necessary, adjusted to meet industry needs and environmental factors.
“Our major emphasis is to respond to the constantly changing needs of fleets and the fuel industry in balance with environmental preservation,” said Lack. “Both demand better combustion efficiency and result in a positive impact on the industry, environment and air quality.”
This philosophy has served Energy Additives well, resulting in a line of products that has fueled worldwide demand.
The world's only complete line of patented additives
Achieving continuing patent status for all of Energy Additives' six major products is more than a sign of success for the company. It ensures that the fuel additives are made with the highest quality, low vapor of carbon (VOCs) ingredients. Plus, the products address industry issues such as indoor air quality for gasoline, diesel and heating (bunker) fuel. The resulting hybrid premium fuel mixtures satisfy the CO emissions standards set by both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resource Board (CARB). Energy Additives' complete line of products includes:
CGX-4®: Premium Propane Fuel
This fuel, designed for LPG-powered internal combustion engines, drastically reduces emissions, lowers maintenance costs and improves performance. How does this occur? First, CGX has combustion-improving compounds to minimize pre-ignition in the combustion chamber prior to spark plug ignition resulting in increased power, more efficient fuel economy and a significant reduction in carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and unburned hydrocarbons. Second, the emulsifiers in CGX-4 soften and remove hydrocarbon buildup that can interfere with engine operation. Third, a surfactant takes care of free water found in most LPG. Finally, the upper cylinder lubricant provides a light film coating to the cylinder walls, rings and valves to increase engine efficiency, reduce operating temperatures and prolong engine life.
VAPO-KLEEN®: Premium Propane Fuel
A highly effective supplement for propane, VAPO-KLEEN is used in heating or drying applications where the product is vaporized using direct- or indirect-fired vaporizers. This product consists of several unique chemical compounds, removing and preventing deposits occurring in vaporizers as well as downstream in regulators and valves. It also cleans tanks and lines. The polar solvents used in VAPO-KLEEN first soften and then remove long chain hydrocarbons. It also pulverizes and disperses water molecules, eliminating the need for methanol except in extreme conditions. VAPO-KLEEN contains no metallic elements or alcohol.
HGX-3®: Flame Enhancement Additive
HGX-3 is a multi-purpose additive for the enhancement of propane flames used for cutting, heating, soldering and brazing. A powerful catalyst creates a hotter flame and more complete combustion, a much more effective alternative that other gases used for flame cutting, flame hardening, stack cutting, sheet metal repair, machine cutting, annealing, aluminum welding, cast iron welding, brazing, heat treating and scarfing. HGX-3 has a 15% higher flame temperature for faster, cleaner cutting, plus it is less expensive and safer than acetylene or MPS.
GSL-4®: Gasoline Multi-Purpose Additive
GLS-4 is an ashless, non-phosphorus, multi-component, multi-purpose, concentrated formulation of gasoline-improving additives. This product cleans fuel lines, carburetors and injectors, serves as a water control agent, reduces emissions, acts as a substitute for lead, improves mileage and power, helps prevent rust deposits, supplies critical lubrication to cylinder areas and meets all EPA regulations. GSL-4 contains no methyl, ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.
DSL-5®: Diesel Fuel Additive
DSL-5 is an ashless fuel additive/treatment that inhibits pollutants and provides premium fuel performance from #2 diesel. Plus, DSL-5 has a superior top oil to supply critical lubrication to upper cylinder areas. This is especially important in vehicles that use 05 fuel; the top oil replaces the paraffin lubrication lost in the desulfurization process. Proven in tests over a five-year period in a wide variety of heavy-duty fleet operations, DSL-5 has proven itself as a highly efficient dispersing agent, cold flow improver, water control agent, detergent and controller for icing and gelling. Plus, DSL-5 diminishes the black smoke from unburned fuel by making the diesel fuel burn more completely.
HFX®: Multi-Purpose Residual Fuel Additive with Combustion Catalyst
HFX is a balanced compound of an organic dispersant, detergent and a surfactant blended with a highly effective combustion-improving catalyst in a pure hydrocarbon base. Each additive within this compound is designed to improve performance characteristics found in residual fuel. The benefits of HFX include: flowability of residual oil stocks is improved; varnishes, gums and carbon deposits are reduced; water in residual fuels passes through delivery and ignition systems; the formation of slag SO3 and the reduction of excess air result in significant savings of fuel consumption; the compound combination adds up to lower hazardous emissions and improves fuel consumption; and, laboratory tests confirm the value of HFX as an additive to residual fuel stocks.
Like a breath of fresh air
Recognized as both a pioneer and a visionary in the development of fuel treatments, Lack continues to monitor industry trends, ensuring that Energy Additives' products meet and exceed consumers' expectations. The company's attention to detail, commitment to quality and responsibility to the environment have resulted in the company's success with big industry worldwide including GM, Ford and Chrysler just to name a few. With demand increasing every day, the team at Energy Additives is fired up for a very bright future.
