Coval Aquasolve Limited applications
In every aspect of design specification whether it be on Airframe fuel systems or engine fuel systems the aviation industry knows that one of its biggest problems is ingress of moisture / water, as it can and does lead to catastrophic failures in aircraft engines.
Water in fuel causes problems, especially with Marine Diesel as it will rapidly wear and oxidize steel components. Because of the environment water is prevalent in Marine fuel not only through the natural process of attracting water while being transferred and transported but also through condensation and water ingress. Aquasolve™ is the only treatment that dissolves any water in fuel tanks including sea water and bonds it to the fuel to be burned in the normal manner resulting in enhanced engine performance, less emissions and a reduction in fuel consumption.
Managing a fleet of vehicles presents its own challenges and can be very expensive with ever changing fuel costs and operating restrictions imposed by Government Legislation that demands cleaner running and regularly maintained vehicles. Adding Aquasolve™ to Hydrocarbon or Bio fuels will improve engine performance in commercial vehicles, reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption.
Wherever possible there has been a big move to switch to electricity to power trains instead of Hydrocarbon and Bio fuels but there are still many diesel trains in operation in the UK and throughout the world where it is impossible to get sufficient electricity supplied. Express trains, Freight trains and trains with diesel driven generators to create electricity require enormous amounts of Diesel fuel. Therefore a fuel additive that will improve engine performance, cut down on emissions and reduce fuel consumption must be of commercial and ecological interest to train operating companies (TOCs). Aquasolve™ has proven to provide all these advantages and, more importantly, eradicate water contamination in fuel which is something oil distribution companies have always struggled to do efficiently.
The exhaustive compatibility testing provided the technology with an acceptance within the industry beyond what could have been expected of a ‘new’ invention. The compatibility testing protocols used were very similar to those currently required by the aero industry for aviation jet fuel. This testing is also applicable to the oil industry. During the early development of Aquasolve™ it was suggested by an established scientific figure that one of the reasons for the permanent dissolving of water in oil by Aquasolve™ could be that the water molecule had been broken down enough to cause the migration of its hydroxyl to the long chain hydrocarbon, helping to further encourage a permanent bond of fuel oil and water.
