Noida-based Mana Energy has launched a diesel additive which can reduce diesel consumption in generators, boilers, vehicles and furnaces by enhancing efficiency.
“Whilst we claim that a minimum of 8% of diesel fuel can be saved, some users have found savings of up to 15%. The product Clear Burn, is a 100% sulphur-free chemical compound, has been certified by the Shriram Institute for Industrial Research,” said a company statement.
Clear Burn is available in packing of 250 milliliter bottles equivalent to treat 1,000 litres of diesel for static load-bearing machines like generators, boilers, vehicles and furnaces operating on diesel. It can also be used for heavy earth moving machineries. Clear Burn is designed for all diesel engines of high capacity and can lead to reduction in consumption by 12.5%, nitrogen oxide emissions by 10 to 11% and total hydrocarbon reduction by 20%, it said.
Tests were conducted for the Indian Navy and various state government departments, hospitals, construction companies, corporate houses and high-rise apartment complexes, it said.
Fuel additives are becoming affordable, popular and meet the challenges of enhanced burning efficiency of fuel. “When added to normal diesel fuel, it significantly reduces exhaust smoke, soot build-up in the engine and decreases fuel consumption,” said Roger Mitchell, company chairman. Clear Burn is non-corrosive in nature and not harmful for diesel engines. The product increases combustion efficiency of diesel generator engines. It promotes better oxidation of fuel in internal combustion engines, suppressing soot formations and un-burnt hydrocarbons besides reduced soot emission and soot deposition in engine exhausts, he said.
The company is owned and headed by British and Indian technocrats who brought together and combined a team of experts to enhance and conserve energy in the global market with its headquarters in India.
