	Automotive Dealership: "I’ve been using your oil additive for the past four years in our waste oil furnace that supplements the heat in our service department. Your product has helped to keep our furnace running with fewer problems and more heat. I am happy to recommend your product." Paper Mill Operator: "This letter is written as a testimonial and recommendation for HFX® fuel additive, which we have used in our boiler fuel for several years. Prior to its use, the maintenance and cleaning needed for the boilers was very costly and time consuming. The grade of fuel that we receive differs and the use of HFX® has also helped to maintain consistent fuel efficiency. Utilizing HFX®, because of the cleaning and elimination of sludge build-up, has also extended the life of the boiler components. The increased combustion of the fuel has lowered heat loss, which also contributes to lower emissions. Our company has been very pleased with the cost savings and performance enhancing qualities HFX® has provided for the fuel burned in our boilers and only makes sense for its continued use." Paper Mill Operator: "During the last year we have been performed successfully many tests with the additive HFX® to allow us introduce it in Brazil. In some cases due to the results we had start a sales program to supply those companies." Equipment Company: "Just a note of thanks for the superior job your team has done. HFX® is everything you stated it was. Fuel and maintenance costs here have dropped dramatically in the last year. I’ve always said that proper maintenance has a large effect on the longevity and efficiency of your equipment. Now, HFX® is a significant part of my maintenance routine, and it has resulted in a greater savings and a boost to the bottom line. Again, thanks to you and HFX®."


Laboratory tests confirm the value of HFX as an additive to residual fuel stocks:

Combustion tests conducted and verified in a laboratory setting resulted in a significant reduction of unburned residues and increased heat release.

Evaluation of the effects of the combustion catalyst on ash and residues:

To evaluate the effects of the organic combustion catalyst on ash and residues, measured samples of untreated oils were burned in a combustion chamber with air introduced at atmospheric pressure. The unburned residues were then collected and weighted. The melting point of the residues were determined. The percentage of unburned residue was 10.1% for untreated Bunker C versus 6.5% for samples treated with HFX. The ash melting point was 700°-760° C for the untreated fuel and 1040°-1200° C for the treated fuel. This resulted in an increase of nearly 50% of the melting point of residues and indicates that the residue will be dryer and will not stick to heating surfaces.

Evaluation of the combustion catalyst on heat release:

A typical test to illustrate increased heat release is the Parr Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter Test. The purpose of this test is to compare the rate of combustion and the amount of heat release for treated and untreated Bunker C oil. Oxygen has been adjusted to approximate the available oxygen in a typical efficient oil burner. A measured sample of untreated Bunker C was burned and the rate of heat rise recorded. The same oil was treated with a measured dosage of the combustion catalyst used in our product and the test was repeated. During the test when untreated oil was burned, it left sticky, gummy residues. When treated oil was burned, the sticky, gummy residue was not found and the amount of carbon was greatly reduced.



From the accompanying illustration, one can see the increase in heat release for the treated oil during the first period shown may be calculated by integrating to determine the difference in the areas of the two curves. This calculation indicates that approximately 14.6% more heat was obtained from the oil treated with our combustion catalyst. The slope of the temperature-rise curves indicates the rate of the data below is 0.15°/second for the untreated fuel, and combustion .025°/second for the treated fuel, an increase of about 60% in the rate of combustion. The overall conclusion from this data illustrates the effectiveness of HFX Residual Fuel additive for use in all grades of fuel.
