What is a Fuel Catalyst and What Does it Do That Additives Don’t?
How Does a Fuel Catalyst Work? And, Equally as Important, What Isn’t a Fuel Catalyst? What is a fuel catalyst is a question that results in a wide array of misnomers and misconceptions. While the concept as a whole is not difficult to understand, marketers use the word catalyst to promote products
What is Catalytic Combustion and Why Only Fuel Catalysts Produce It
Catalytic Combustion is What Separates Fuel Catalysts from Fuel Additives and Treatments as well as Catalytic Converters To understand catabolic combustion, a cursory understanding of fuel catalysts, catalytic converters, and noble metal catalysts is necessary. Though in depth, the concepts are rela
Diesel Fuel Line Catalyst and Saving Fuel While Reducing Emissions
A diesel fuel line catalyst is unique in relation to other mechanisms manufactured — and chemicals produced — that generate a change in fuels and emissions. The difference between diesel fuel line catalysts, aka, “fuel catalysts” and fuel additives, fuel treatments, and catalytic converters
Inline Fuel Catalyst: A Surprising Tool To Help You
An inline fuel catalyst is a mechanism with two purposes: increase fuel efficiency — “gas mileage” — and decrease emissions. There are two types of catalysts for vehicles, trucks, and equipment: catalysts for diesel and catalysts for spark engines — gas powered engines. Only inline fuel ca
Fuel Catalyst: Different Than Additives, Treatments and Catalytic Converters
There are two kinds of fuel catalysts: diesel fuel catalysts and petroleum fuel catalysts. But, there are a large number of products marketed with the word catalyst. The fact that marketers advertise non-catalysts as catalysts cause confusion. For those looking to improve the fuel mileage of an auto
Life Cycle of Coal Versus Natural Gas
The life cycle of coal determines its carbon footprint. Its lifecycle is what determines whether or not it is a clean fossil fuel or a dirty fossil fuel. The exact same can be said for natural gas. Each fossil fuel has a different life cycle. The extraction/production; refining/conditioning; transpo
Cleanest Fossil Fuels, Global Warming Potential, and the Two Straw Men
Diesel is the cleanest fossil fuel, all things considered. The cleanest fossil fuels — and the dirtiest — all produce emissions. Determining what makes fossil fuel dirty is essentially an emissions inventory. It requires looking at a number of fuel production and consumption variables. First a
Dirtiest Boiler Fuels: May Not be Coal and Heating Oil
Combustion Emissions of “Dirty” Fossil Fuels Damage Atmosphere No More than “Cleanest” Fossil Fuel A shift within the boiler industry occurred after the turn of the century. Boilermakers moved away from coal and fuel oils toward natural gas and propane. The biggest reason why, emissions. Pro
Biofuels May Not Be the Answer, Turns Out
First, Second, and Third Generation Biofuels All Hamstrung by Insurmountable Issues The name itself, biofuel, implies a clean-burning fuel. Made from crop fats and oils; biomass; or algae, the name makes biofuel sound like it would pollute less. The assumption has been — in relation to fossil fuel
The Secret of Successful Clean Diesel
National Clean Diesel Campaign The National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) is a program by the Environmental Protection Agency that encourages the voluntary reduction of fuel emissions. Additionally, the NCDC has the power to implement regulatory control strategies to curve the production of diesel fu
