Power Research PRI-XL

Power Research PRI-XL is specifically formulated to provide the optimum level of protection possible for marine fuel pumps and marine engines operating on 0.1% sulfur marine gas oil (MGO) and 0.50% sulfur VLSFO. Incorporating the same superior lubricity chemistry found in our PRI-D Lubricity/Stability treatment, PRIXL is a stand-alone ester based lubricity chemistry, providing the identical level of lubricity protection as PRI-D but at two and half times the concentration. This provides an economic but equally powerful tool for vessel owners who demand the very best at a cost-effective price.

Chemical Family: Esters

Features: Excellent Chemical Stability, Sludge Build up Prevention

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits
  • Backed by more than 25 years of use in the commercial marine, power generation and automotive industries, PRI-XL provides a far broader range and level of protection than is available with the new products only recently rushed to market by marine chemical makers.
  • PRI-XL was formulated based on a version of the HFRR test especially modified to directly correlate to the much more demanding internal conditions of marine fuel pumps.
  • In test after test, PRIXL consistently outperforms all others, ensuring that marine fuel pumps will continue to function, whether in normal use, or in mission critical situations.
  • PRI-XL is also proven safe in all engines, no injector deposits, no bore polishing, no precipitation, characteristics sometimes associated with other lubricity additive chemistries. 95% of our competitors produce mono-acid lubricity additives.
  • PRI-XL is an ester based lubricity additive, considered the safest and most effective for any engine type.
  • PRI-XL mixes well with any distillate fuel. Dose rate is 1 liter per 10 mt. No costly injection equipment is needed. For optimum protection at the most affordable price, PRI-XL is truly the only sensible choice.

Applications & Uses

Dosage

Dosage Rate

For maximum protection against fuels with scar rates above 600 microns, apply PRI-XL at a dose rate of 1 liter per 5 metric tons. For regular protection from fuels with scar rates of 350 - 600, apply PRI-XL at a dose rate of 1 liter per 10 metric tons.

Dosage Method

PRI-XL may be directly added to tanks prior to bunkering. Agitation from fuel flow during bunkering will provide a sufficient mixture of PRI-XL with the fuel.
