INTRODUCTION
Octane number is a gasoline rating that indicates how much fuel can be compressed for smooth combustion of the fuel in the cylinder. High-performance, high-compression engines often require higher octane fuel than normal passenger’s cars. If the gasoline used does not have a sufficiently high Research Octane Number (RON), the mixture burns non-uniformly resulting in knocking of engine.
Usage of OCTANE BOOSTER as a gasoline blending component increases the RON of the base fuel; enabling Refiners to maximize gasoline production and upgrade low value streams.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
OCTANE BOOSTER is an environment friendly, non-metallic octane booster of organic origin that can increase the octane rating of Gasoline/MS used in all type of vehicles including those with high performance and competition engines. It substantially increases the RON of Gasoline, thus reducing the likelihood of knocking.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Appearance : Yellow to dark amber liquid
- Specific Gravity@25oC : 0.96 -1.00
- Moisture content, % : < 0.5
ADVANTAGES
- Improves gasoline research octane number effectively by 5-6 units at recommended dosages.
- Free from poisonous metal components like lead, manganese, etc. It also does not contain any ethers and is completely organic.
- Does not alter physical properties of MS fuel e.g. RVP, Distillation, Recovery, Benzene content, etc.
- Ensures conservation of fuel/ energy and reduction in environmental pollution by minimizing presence of unburnt hydrocarbon in engine exhaust.
- Good stability and shelf-life.
DOSAGE
OCTANE BOOSTER is completely soluble in Gasoline and is very easy to use. Dosing 1% OCTANE BOOSTER can increase RON of the base fuel by 5-6 units. However, the dosage may vary with the blank RON of the Base fuel/MS blend, crude quality and Refinery Configuration.
Injection could be either through independent batch tank alongwith dosing pumps or alternatively, OCTANE BOOSTER can be received in the blending component tank and then appropriately dosed.
