BOOSTplus For Shipping & Industry 

Boilers & Industrial Applications

Our longest consistent users have been clients with Industrial Boilers. Industrial boilers are generally used to heat water or generate steam.


The process of fuel combustion remains the same, but similar to gas-turbines, during operation there is a continuous flame, not an ‘explosion’ of energy as we have in a reciprocal engine with pistons. The type of fuel can also change from relatively clean diesel down to what is known as LFO – Light Fuel Oil. One of the main differences is the relative viscosity of the oil, meaning its flow rate. Unlike refined diesel, it can contain a lot of aromatics, sulphur and nitrogen.


BOOSTplus helps in the same way it does in normal diesel - because the aromatic hydrocarbon chains are closed loops with a higher viscosity, they tend to combust less completely as they do not break into droplets as readily during injection and this residual unburnt fuel now causes emission and maintenance issues. As industrial applications tend to have regular emissions inspections of the flue stack, this is a critical aspect for these clients.

Lower Emissions

As for all other applications, BOOSTplus combines with the aromatic chains, because of their higher viscosity (a measure of resistance) and reduces the surface tension of the droplets. 


They now have an increased surface area and reduced viscosity, which allows the drops of fuel to break up into a mist during injection, combine with the oxygen from the inlet, allowing it to combust and burn more efficiently with less residual oxygen remaining to combine with nitrogen and form NOx. 


There is now significantly less unburnt fuel, generally <5%, so you have improved energy generation from each litre of fuel to heat the water – no waste heat generated in the exhaust flue stack. 


This translates to a cleaner burn, with significantly reduced emissions – our clients have achieved 60 to 80% less emissions when using BOOSTplus.

Reduced Consumption

Because the fuel now combusts in the burner, not in the exhaust flue stack, you now get the power you paid for delivered where you need it – in the boiler. 


In these applications you gain greater efficiency from each litre – it is generating up to 20% more usable energy from the same amount of fuel, meaning you need to burn less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output to heat the water.



Reduced Maintenance

Because the fuel now combusts more cleanly post the initial clean-up, there is less carbon available to deposit on the fuel injectors and elsewhere.  


Once the carbon deposits have been removed, the palm oil in BOOSTplus will act as a detergent and keep the burner clean in combination with the improved combustion.


A cleaner engine and efficient fuel consumption translate to less unburnt fuel that can ride back into the crankcase with the oil, affect the viscosity of the oil, reducing the lubrication protection and causing more mechanical wear as a consequence of more surface friction.

Sustainable Power

BOOSTplus is the cleanest investment you can make for your operations - it translates into a double bonus to report to the Board and stakeholders – more sustainable power produced at a lower cost improving profitability and cashflow.


BOOSTplus is 100% natural, sourced from sustainably farmed sources, grown on trees that sequester more carbon than most, using a fraction of the palm oil used by biofuels for more benefit. 


And it will not only reduce your operating cash flow requirements for your fuel budget, it will improve your bottom line and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20% and your particulate emissions by over 60% for the same output.

And you can sustain the gain, at no extra cost.

Ships & Shipping

The primary difference between vehicular and stationary diesel engines is that the energy from the one is used to drive a vehicle and in stationary applications it drives an alternator depending on the application. The secondary difference is that in vehicles you measure the output in kilometres driven and in power or stationary applications you measure output in kilowatt hours – usable energy.


Marine engines are a different hybrid application where the engine drives the propellers to move the boat or ship, but the engine output is measured in operational hours.But, given the complexities of moving through the water, you have many variables that impact consumption – ships draft, weather force and weather direction

The process of fuel combustion in the engine remains the same, but obviously the mechanics around the pistons changes and can change in scale up to the monsters that drive huge ships such as some container vessels.


The type of fuel can also change from relatively clean diesel down to LFO – Light Fuel Oil, up to what is known as bunker oil or HFO – Heavy Fuel Oil. One of the main differences is the relative viscosity of the oil, meaning its flow rate. Unlike refined diesel, it contains a lot of aromatics, sulphur and nitrogen. In 2020 new regulations have come into force requiring vessels to clean their emissions.

Reduced Consumption

Because the fuel now burns in the piston chamber, not in the exhaust stack, you now get the power you paid for delivered where you need it – in the engine. 


We refer to this as reduced consumption, but it is a slight misnomer – it is getting more from the same consumption simply by combusting it more efficiently and generating up to 20% more usable energy from the same amount of fuel, meaning you need to burn less fuel to generate the same amount of energy output.

Environmental & Scrubber Units

Because the fuel now combusts more cleanly post the initial clean-up, there is less carbon available to deposit on the fuel injectors, valves and the pistons. 


Once the carbon deposits have been removed, the palm oil in BOOSTplus will act as a detergent and keep the engine clean in combination with the improved combustion.
