Power Research PRI-XLR8

Power Research PRI-XLR8 is specifically formulated to provide the optimum level of protection for marine fuel pumps operating on 0.1% sulfur marine gas oil (MGO), 0.50% sulfur and very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO). PRI-XLR8 is a stand-alone lubricity chemistry, providing a premium level of lubricity protection through a proprietary fatty acid/mono-acid chemistry, and at a treat rate of one liter for every 10 metric tons of MGO or VLSFO. This provides an economical and powerful tool for vessel owners who demand the very best at a cost-effective price.

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits
  • PRI-XLR8 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. Hence, PRIXLR8 consistently outperforms others, ensuring that marine fuel pumps will continue to function, whether in normal use, or in mission critical situations.
  • PRI-XLR8 mixes well with any MGO or VLSFO fuel.
  • For optimum protection at a most affordable price, PRI-XLR8 is truly the only sensible choice.
  • PRI-XLR8 is a precise blend of organic chemistries that once blended with marine gas oil, will not stratify or seperate, even with fuel purification.

Applications & Uses

Dosage

Dosage Rate

For maximum protection against fuels with scar rates above 600 microns, apply PRI-XLR8 at a dose rate of 1 liter per 5 metric tons. For regular protection from fuels with scar rates of 350 - 600, apply PRI-XLR8 at a dose rate of 1 liter to 10 metric tons.

Dosage Method

PRIXLR8 may be added directly to storage or settling tanks just prior to bunkering or transfer. Do not use the sounding tubes as this will not ensure a good mix of PRI-XLR8 and the marine fuel. No costly injection equipment is needed.
