What is SulNOx?

SulNOx Eco? is an, all-natural fuel conditioner that optimises the combustion process in diesel, petrol, and biofuel engines. Unlike traditional fuel additives, SulNOx is biodegradable and eco-friendly, containing no harmful metals or waste fossil fuels.

At its core, SulNOx Eco? is a unique blend of emulsifiers and surfactants that work to improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. The science behind SulNOx is both innovative and elegantly simple: it uses water as an ally, not an enemy, in the combustion process. Furthermore, it does so while decarbonising, cleaning and lubricating the engine.

How does it work? SulNOx Eco?’s powerful emulsifiers scavenge any free water in the fuel, creating a micro-emulsion that leads to a more complete and efficient burn. This process results in improved atomisation of fuel particles, allowing for better mixing with air and more thorough combustion. This is known at the secondary atomisation effect.

Key features:

●???? Fuel Specification Compliant SulNOx meets EN590 and other key fuel standards, ensuring compatibility with modern engines without voiding warranties.

●???? Easy Application With mix ratios of 1:1,000 for petrol/gasoline and 1:2,000 for diesel, SulNOx Eco? is simply added to fuel tanks without requiring any changes to existing infrastructure or equipment.

●???? Versatility SulNOx enhances performance across a wide range of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, biofuels (including HVOs), marine diesel oil (MDO), marine gas oil (MGO), Very Low Sulphur and High Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO / HSFO) and gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuels.

●???? Lubricity Improvement SulNOx Eco? is proven to increase fuel lubricity by 17-30%, reducing engine wear and extending component life.

●???? All-in-One Solution Beyond its primary function, SulNOx also provides fuel stability, detergency, and power enhancement.

By addressing multiple aspects of fuel performance simultaneously, SulNOx offers a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to optimise their fuel usage, reduce emissions, and improve overall engine health. As we'll explore in the next section, these features translate into significant, measurable benefits for users across various industries.

What are the benefits of SulNOx?

SulNOx offers a wide array of benefits that address both environmental concerns and operational efficiency. Let's dive into the ten key advantages that make SulNOx a game-changer for businesses across various industries:

1. Reduced Fuel Consumption and Costs One of the most immediate and tangible benefits of SulNOx is the significant reduction in fuel consumption. Users typically report fuel savings of 5-15%, with some cases showing even higher figures. This translates directly into substantial cost savings, especially for businesses with large fleets or fuel-intensive operations.
2. Impressive Emissions Reductions SulNOx plays a crucial role in helping businesses meet their environmental targets:

●???? Particulate Matter (PM) reductions: Reductions in both PM2.5 and 10 of up to 98% are observed in one study operated by third party companies

●???? Greenhouse Gas reductions: CO2 reductions of up to 30% are achievable

●???? Significant reductions in other GHG emissions, including NOx and SOx

3. Enhanced Engine Performance and Health SulNOx doesn't just save fuel; it improves overall engine performance:

●???? Increased power and torque

●???? Lower peak combustion pressure and temperatures

●???? Reduced carbon build-up on pistons

●???? Lower exhaust temperatures

●???? Smoother engine operation with reduced vibration

4. Reduced Maintenance Costs The benefits of SulNOx extend to maintenance savings:

●???? Less frequent changes of particulate filters

●???? Reduced fouling of ignition and fuelling components

●???? Lower soot load on EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems

●???? Reduced load on DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), leading to fewer regeneration cycles

●???? Extended engine life due to improved lubricity and reduced wear

5. AdBlue Consumption Reduction Many users report a significant decrease in AdBlue consumption due to lower NOx emissions, further contributing to operational cost savings.

6. No Capital Expenditure Required Unlike many green technologies, SulNOx requires no upfront investment in new equipment or infrastructure. It's a simple 'pour and go' solution that can be implemented immediately.

7. Versatility Across Fuel Types SulNOx Eco? is effective with a wide range of fuels, making it a versatile solution for mixed fleets and various applications.

8. Immediate Impact on Sustainability Goals While many green solutions require long-term planning and implementation, SulNOx offers an immediate path to reducing carbon footprint and meeting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets.

9. Impressive Return on Investment (ROI) While fuel savings often exceed 5%, most customers only need to achieve 1-1.5% fuel savings to cover the cost of SulNOx treatment. As a result ROI is generally high.

10. Compliance and Future-Proofing By reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency, SulNOx helps businesses stay ahead of increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

In essence, SulNOx offers a rare combination of immediate cost savings and long-term sustainability benefits, making it an attractive solution for businesses looking to balance economic and environmental considerations. As we'll see in the next section, these benefits are not just theoretical – they're already being realised by businesses across various sectors.

What are some real use cases for SulNOx?

The effectiveness of SulNOx has been demonstrated across various industries. Here are five real-world examples that showcase its impact:

1. Haulage

MGL Demolition, a UK-based company, conducted a three-month trial on four Scania tipper trucks. The results were impressive:
