PentoMag - Model 4400 - Sedimentation and Sludge System
From Products for Diesel Engines
Sedimentation and Sludge formation can occur in oil storage tanks, oil preheaters, strainers and fuel lines.The main cause of sediment and sludge in oil tanks and fuel oil lines is due to separation of the water content from the fuel oil and when asphaltenes, waxes and other materials flocculate and settle.

A certain amount of water is always found in fuel oil and additional water can come from condensation in the storage tank and during tank filling. The water normally separates out and remains at the bottom of the tank and under the right conditions micro- organisms can grow at the water/oil interface, which contributes, to an increased amount of sediment in the tank.
Asphaltenes, the most polar and heaviest compounds of heavy fuel oil, associates themselves in solution to form complex colloidal structures which cause serious problems in diesel engines, fuel systems and oil fuel lines.
The sludge build up caused by asphaltenes occurs not only from the natural oxidation and aging of the fuel, but also as the result of mixing oils from different crude sources and blending in the storage tank
Asphaltene solubility is also affected by the aromaticity and the type/concentration of resins in the blended components, which may cause them to precipitate.
Effects of Sulphur Vanadium & Sodium
The formation of sulphur trioxide during combustion due to the sulphur in the fuel oil can cause serious corrosion and deposits in the diesel engine cylinder.
The complex Na/V/S compounds formed during combustion can form molten deposits which in a diesel engine can cause problems on the exhaust valve seats, in the nozzle ring and on the blades of the turbo charger.
PentoMag 4400 was developed to increase the efficiency of heavy fuel oil fired diesel engines. This goal is achieved in 6 steps:
- Clean the complete fuel system,
- Disperse heavy fractions of the fuel oil.
- Reduce Corrosion
- Optimize Combustion
- Reduce Emission
- Reduce Maintenance time.
