Proven fuel savings with B30 VLSFO using Unitor™ Fuelpower Catalyst & Conditioner To assess the impact of fuel treatment on performance, a jointly witnessed engine trial was conducted in collaboration with China Classification Society (CCS). The evaluation was carried out on a MAN B&W 6S35ME-B9 two-stroke, low-speed marine diesel engine using B30 VLSFO under controlled and consistent operating conditions. Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) was measured and compared across treated and untreated fuel scenarios, with the testing methodology verified by CCS to ensure that the performance improvements observed are both credible and reproducible under comparable operating conditions.
Verified SFOC reduction demonstrated
These results were achieved through an integrated fuel treatment approach combining Unitor™ Fuelpower Catalyst and Unitor™ Fuelpower Conditioner. The Fuelpower Catalyst enhances combustion efficiency by improving the fuel burn process, while the Fuelpower Conditioner stabilises fuel quality and reduces the formation of deposits.
Even a 1–2% improvement in fuel efficiency can translate into meaningful savings. For a vessel consuming 50 MT of fuel per day, this equates to approximately 0.5 - 1 MT saved daily, reducing both operational costs and emissions over time.
