Power Generation
Power generation facilities rely on fuel to drive turbines, engines, and
backup systems. Whether operating in remote regions or urban centres, fuel
quality directly impacts reliability, emissions, and maintenance.
Variability in fuel supply, contamination, and poor combustion can lead to
inefficiencies and costly downtime.
As the sector transitions toward cleaner energy and tighter regulations,
fuel conditioning plays a vital role in maintaining performance, reducing
emissions, and supporting operational resilience.
Fuel Type: Biofuel
Biofuels are increasingly used in power generation to reduce carbon
emissions, but their instability and sensitivity to contamination can
affect combustion and equipment reliability. Aderco’s conditioners
ensure consistent performance and cleaner operation.
Fuel Issues
- Inconsistent fuel quality due to feedstock variability
- Microbial growth and water contamination
- Oxidation and fuel degradation during storage
Aderco Benefits
-
Stabilises fuel for consistent combustion and separates water
- Prevents microbial growth and sludge formation
- Enhances lubricity and protects engine components
- Reduces emissions and supports sustainability goals
- Compatible with all generator systems
Fuel Type: Diesel
Diesel remains the primary fuel for power generation, especially in
backup and off-grid systems. However, its performance can be compromised
by poor combustion, contamination, and wear on fuel system components.
Fuel Issues
- Incomplete combustion and carbon deposits
- Water contamination and microbial growth
- Low lubricity causing injector wear
Aderco Benefits
- Improves combustion and fuel efficiency
- Prevents microbial growth and water-related issues
- Restores lubricity and protects fuel system parts
- Reduces maintenance and downtime
- Supports cleaner emissions
Fuel Type: HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil)
HFO is used in large-scale power generation but requires careful
handling due to its high viscosity and impurity levels. Without proper
treatment, it can lead to engine damage and reduced efficiency.
Fuel Issues
- High levels of sludge and sediment
- Poor atomisation and incomplete combustion
- Increased wear on fuel injectors and pumps
Aderco Benefits
- Breaks down sludge and improves fuel flow
- Enhances atomisation and combustion quality
- Reduces carbon build-up and emissions
- Protects engine components from wear
- Improves operational reliability
