How does FTC Decarbonizer work?

What is FTC Decarbonizer? FTC Decarbonizer is a combustion enhancer that readily disperses through fuel to play a catalytic role during the combustion process.

As scientifically accepted, some elements act as catalysts and help promote combustion. FTC Decarbonizer contains Ferrous Picrate, which produces Fe++ ions — proven to be one of the most effective for combustion.
FTC Decarbonizer is a true ‘combustion catalyst’ in liquid form.
Treatment ratio from 1:1600 to 1:10,000.
No change to fuel specifications, ensuring acceptance by OEMs.

What does FTC Decarbonizer do?

FTC Decarbonizer is proven to cut your fuel costs and carbon emissions while reducing maintenance costs:

Reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions
Eliminates hard carbon from combustion and exhaust spaces, avoiding turbocharger and DPF failures
Cleaner, longer-lasting oil — assists extended oil drain intervals and lowers wear metals
Reduces exhaust smoke (DPM)
Full biocide — kills the diesel bug

*Government-approved test results available on request (DT80 Test)

Since 01 Jan 2022. Our customers have reduced Tonnes of carbon emissions.

Why introduce FTC Decarbonizer to your fleet?

FTC Decarbonizer produces a more complete combustion, which provides significant maintenance savings, such as:

Avoiding DPF, EGR and turbo failures
Reduced blow-by and oil consumption
Avoiding fuel storage tank contamination
Elimination of cylinder glazing
Reduced oil contamination, soot, wear metals, etc.
Reduced harmful emissions

Komatsu 630E Dump Truck Cylinder condition

MTU @ 23,000 hrs. Whole-life FTC treated. Scheduled pull-down. No faults to act on. Pistons and liners reused.

Detroit 149 @ 12,000 hrs treated fuel. Note the extremely clean ports.

How does FTC Decarbonizer actually work?

Pre-combustion phase: FTC Decarbonizer treated fuel delivers a cleaner fuel burn by propagating sites throughout the air/fuel mixture, initiating multiple flame fronts, as illustrated:

Combustion phase: FTC Decarbonizer actively burns away all carbon from the combustion area and deglazes cylinders. It removes carbon from pistons, exhaust valves, turbos and diesel particulate filters.

Soot Emission Comparison

Visually, the soot reduction can be seen in the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis of soot samples presented below:

Exhaust sample from an engine not using FTC Decarbonizer: visible engine emissions.

Soot particles from an engine treated with FTC Decarbonizer

FTC Decarbonizer treated, 1:10,000 ratio: a visible reduction in diesel smoke was recorded. FTC treatment resulted in a reduction in both the number and size of soot particles.

Typical Fuel Efficiencies Provided by FTC Treatment of Fuel

Efficiency improvements vary with engine condition and application:

New or reconditioned engines, variable loads: 3%–5%
New or reconditioned engines, full load: 2%–3%
Used engines, variable loads: 3%–8%
Used engines, full load: 3%–5%

Sample Field Testing Efficiency — Mobile Equipment

Summary of What Your Operation Can Expect
