The additive has diminished the formation of soot deposits. Such they are drier The additive has diminished the formation of soot deposits. Such they are drier and fine. One discards that the additive attacks the refractory one, because and fine. One discards that the additive attacks the refractory one, because there is no evidence of increase in the existing wearing downs of such. Which there is no evidence of increase in the existing wearing downs of such. Which has noticed which the boiler can be operated with really low oxygen levels has noticed which the boiler can be operated with really low oxygen levels without increasing the emission of ashes, favors the energy efficiency still more without increasing the emission of ashes, favors the energy efficiency still more and could favor in the NOX reduction. and could favor in the NOX reduction.

According to numbers done in the last meeting it was spoken of 8,78% of fuel According to numbers done in the last meeting it was spoken of 8,78% of fuel saving. This gave to pay itself the additive used in 1:1000 relation and produced saving. This gave to pay itself the additive used in 1:1000 relation and produced near $400 per month of gain. For these reasons and knowing that once the near $400 per month of gain. For these reasons and knowing that once the additive is used of continuous way, having allowed still more to sharpen the additive is used of continuous way, having allowed still more to sharpen the combustion and by the long term benefits to maintain the system of búnker combustion and by the long term benefits to maintain the system of búnker cleaner, his components, the burner and the boiler in himself, his servant cleaner, his components, the burner and the boiler in himself, his servant concludes: The USE OF THIS ADDITIVE OF CONTINUOUS WAY IS concludes: The USE OF THIS ADDITIVE OF CONTINUOUS WAY IS RECOMMENDABLE And IN ALL The BOILERS OF The CORPORATION.
