Fuel Borne Catalysts & Deposit Control Add's

Chemical Additives for Improved Catalytic Combustion, Reduced Emissions & Superior Engine Performance

Umicore's carboxylates business line delivers high-quality fuel additives. We offer fuel borne catalysts for highly effective Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. This leads to better combustion efficiency and less particulate matter emissions. Our products also prevent the accumulation of deposits on vital engine components, which ensures higher engine performance. 
 

To get the best results, it is important to choose the right type and amount of fuel enhancer. This decision affects factors like fuel consumption and engine wear. We will gladly help you choose the solution to meet your unique needs.

DPF Additives for Improved Catalytic Combustion and Reduced Emissions


Fuel borne catalysts are chemical additives that are added to liquid fuels to improve their combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. By enabling fast and complete Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration, major regulatory challenges regarding particulate matter and NOx emissions can be tackled. 
 
The fuel catalyst technology works by reducing the ignition temperature of soot particles, which allows for regeneration over a wider engine operating range. The catalysts promote a more complete combustion process by interacting with soot in the combustion chamber. As a result, they significantly reduce emissions of harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Additionally, fuel borne combustion catalysts help to improve fuel economy

VALIFUEL 210 Highly effective fuel borne catalyst with 10% metal content (2nd generation). 
Used as diesel additive for DPF regeneration, reaching improved combustion efficiency and reduced particulate matter emissions. 

Deposit Control Additives for Superior Engine Performance


Deposit control additives (DCAs) are crucial fuel additives that safeguard your engine's performance. They prevent harmful deposits from accumulating on critical engine components, which can impair fuel efficiency and engine performance. 
 
DCAs play a vital role in engine performance and longevity. They are essential in both gasoline and diesel engines. Beyond vehicles, they are used in industrial applications such as power generators and marine engines.
