Clean Boost™ improves fuel efficiency and combustion efficiency, by liberating more of the fuel's chemical energy, in the flame zone of boilers, or during the power stroke of diesel engines. Soot formation is prevented and less fuel is wasted in the form of particulate emissions. Greenhouse gas (CO2) and acid rain gases (SO2 and SO3), soot (black smoke), carbon build-up and fouling, slagging and cold-end corrosion are all reduced, while engine and boiler performance improves. Turbochargers and exhaust gas boilers remain cleaner and require less maintenance and water washing.

Clean Boost™ reduces fuel consumption by 3 to 5% across a wide range of fossil fuels, from coal and heavy residual fuel oils to intermediate fuel oil blends, refined diesel fuels.

Clean Boost™ is effective in industrial boilers and diesel engines of all sizes and is used in marine shipping, power generation, mining, construction, ground transportation and wherever high fuel prices or compliance with emissions or opacity regulations is a concern.

The benefits of Clean Boost™/Carbonex diesel additives were scientifically measured at the Battelle Memorial Institute, in both the United States and in Europe, and by the Southwest Research Institute in the United States. Tests were conducted under controlled furnace, boiler and diesel genset conditions to determine, with laboratory certainty, the effect of Clean Boost™/Carbonex on the combustion performance of bituminous coal, crude oil, heavy and light fuel oils and diesel fuel.

The primary benefits of Clean Boost™ NANOtane are improved combustion efficiency, reduced ash formation and the virtual elimination of unburned carbon in the exhaust system and bottom ash. The result is fuel savings on bunker C or heating oil and a significant reduction of environmental pollution. Detailed information about the mode of action of the catalyst in the burner has allowed the development of strategies to control NOx emissions and in the case of coal and heavy fuel oil to achieve a net reduction in NOx emissions.

Clean Boost™ Diesel does not affect normal diesel engine wear and it has no detrimental effects upon fuel characteristics.

Clean Boost™ is safe to use and it produces no harmful incremental emissions as a by-product, unlike many fuel additives. Clean Boost™ also reduces the volatile fraction of particulate emissions (PAH's) which can promote skin cancer in humans.

Secondary benefits of Clean Boost™ fuel treatment include better engine performance, extended equipment life and reduced maintenance costs, all with minimal disruption to normal engine or boiler operations. Soot formation and slagging on exhaust gas boilers is eliminated and time intervals between major overhauls of components, such as turbochargers, can be increased. Internal engine components, including pistons, rings, valves and fuel injector tips remain free of hard carbon deposits.
