AMERGY 222 - Fuel Oil Conditioner
Description
AMERGY 222 fuel oil conditioner is a premium blend of solvents, dispersants, surfactants and detergents for minimizing the effects of fuel instability and incompatibility. Asphaltenes can precipitate from the fuel and form sludge deposits when blended fuels are mixed with existing blended fuels during bunkering operations. AMERGY 222 conditioner represents the newest technology in preventing these problems.
The concept of AMERGY 222 conditioner is twofold: 1. To suspend heavy fuel particles and disperse sludge so that the fuel can be pumped, centrifuged, preheated, and filtered with a minmum of fouling and subsequent cleaning operations. 2. To dissolve existing sludge to enable the fuel to become a more stable, homogeneous fluid. This will maximize the energy potential utilization of the ship's bunkers by assuring that all of the fuel delivered onboard is properly burned.
As these benefits are obtained, cost savings are realized as less labor and attention needs to be paid to cleaning tanks and equipment, and engine performance is improved due to properly prepared fuel.
AMERGY 222 conditioner can be used in both diesel and steam propulsion fuel oil systems. It is effective for both blended and straight-run residual fuels.

Application and Use
AMERGY 222 fuel oil conditioner can be added to the fuel tanks by pouring it down the sounding tubes to all tanks that will be receiving fuel prior to bunkering. This will ensure that the AMERGY 222 conditioner is properly mixed and dispersed throughout the fuel. The dosage rate of AMERGY 222 conditioner will vary depending upon the treatment schedule. 1. When used with each bunkering, AMERGY 222 conditioner can be dosed in a range of 1/6000 - 1/15,000
(1 liter to 6-15 tons of fuel). 2. If not used on a regular basis, an alternate schedule can consist of dosing only when a problem from fuel incompatibility/ instability occurs. In this case, the dosage rate should be 1/6000 (1 liter to 6 tons of fuel). This higher treatment rate is necessary to dissolve and disperse the existing sludge.
