- Features & Benefits
- Improves fuel stability and compatibility of all types of VLSFO & HFO.
- Maintains fuel stability and helps prevent increase of TSP while fuel sits in storage tanks.
- Assists with high TSP and improves poor-quality fuel.
- Reduces the production of sludge produced on board.
- Improved purification with cleaner filters/strainers and cleaner purifier.
- Optimum combustion efficiency via improved fuel quality.
- PRI-ECO solves fuel problems such as poor fuel stability & compatibility issues of VLSFO/HFO, high TSP, dirty purifiers, poor quality fuel, etc.
- PRI-ECO will assist with all the new VLSFO blended fuels and will maintain proper stability and compatibility of these fuels on board your vessels.
- Use PRI-ECO when having to comingle two different blends of VLSFO/HFO and avoid compatibility issues.
- PRI-ECO is a highly complex blend of organic chemistries that, once blended with, will not stratify or separate, even with fuel purification. In fact, purification systems remain cleaner and more efficient when processing PRI-ECO treated fuels.
Applications & Uses

Dosage Rate
PRI-ECO is dosed at 1:20,000 (one liter per 20 mt). It is recommended that any ships using PRI-ECO during all bunkerings, use a dose rate of one liter per 10 metric tons, for the first two months (approximately two bunkerings) of application. Then revert back to the 1:20 dose rate henceforth.
Dosage Method
Power Research Inc. suggests PRI-ECO is highly miscible with VLSFO/HFO and may be added directly to tanks prior bunkering. Agitation from fuel flow into the tank typically provides a sufficient mixture.
