What Is FPC ?

FPC is a combustion enhancer that readily disperses in any liquid hydrocarbon fuel to play a catalytic role during the combustion process

As scientifically accepted, some elements act as catalysts and help promote combustion. FPC contains ions in the form of Ferrous Picrate (Fe++) proven to be one of the most effective

FPC is a true “Combustion Catalyst” in liquid form

Treatment Ratio 1:10,000

No change to fuel specifications ensuring acceptance by OEM’s 3

Reduced fuel consumption

Maintenance benefits

Cleaner longer lasting oil

Reduced exhaust smoke

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Acts as a biocide

FPC forms propagating sites throughout the

air/fuel mixture initiating multiple flame fronts.

UWA Centre for Energy has the ability to measure the combustion time of one droplet of fuel. Images of combustion flames for pure diesel and FPC treated diesel as below prove

ignition advanced 0.014s and combustion completed 0.054s earlier with FPC catalyst. (A

faster combustion utilizes more of the available energy in a given volume of fuel)

CO reduced by up to 22% UHC reduced by up to 15%

Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) result from incomplete combustion and are toxic to humans. Improved fuel combustion efficiencies must be reflected in exhaust emissions. FPC significantly reduces these harmful emissions.

Smoke emissions reduced depending on engine duty cycle by 7.3 to 39.5%.
