Sulfur Oxides (SOx)
Sulfur oxides are generated in combustion, especially SO2. Part of these oxides arrives at SO3, in variable proportions depending on each fuel compositions and the intrinsic performance of firing system. In the burned gases, SO3 meets the necessary conditions to change into sulfuric acid: water molecules, necessary catalysts (V2O5 or Fe2O3) and adequate temperatures.
During normal combustion the sulfuric acid, once it appears, is immediately modified, due to the high temperatures of the burned gases.
The additives’ molecules introduced in combustion by the ECOBIK generators attack the sulfuric acid at the moment it appears and it transforms the acid into a much more active compound by receiving a free oxygen atom. This newly created transitional compound has very high energy and affinity to poly-nuclear aromatic and cyclical hydrocarbons. The result is the reduction of sulfur into its native form.
In the lowering temperature phase of the burned gases, ECOBIK additives create the possibility for the reaction between SO2 and CO, the result being native sulfur and CO2 (exothermic reaction).
Because of this, the SOx emissions are reduced both percentage wise and in total quantity.
