As society moves towards more sustainable forms of energy, biodiesel has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional petroleum diesel. But high blends of biodiesel can pose challenges when it comes to storage and use. That’s where ETP (formerly ET Products) comes in.
With over a decade of experience in treating high blends of biodiesel, ETP is now offering a new product: Heat Assure B50 Bio-Max, a Home Heating Oil Additive for B50 biodiesel blends.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of biodiesel, the challenges of high blends, and how ETP is helping companies overcome these challenges.
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, recycled cooking grease, and other biomass materials. The environmental benefits of biodiesel are clear: it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, is less toxic than petroleum diesel, and reduces our dependence on foreign oil. However, high blends of biodiesel can pose challenges for companies that store and use diesel fuel. One of the main challenges is cold weather performance. Biodiesel has a higher cloud point than petroleum diesel, which means it can solidify in cold temperatures and clog fuel lines and filters. High blends of biodiesel can also lead to increased sludge and corrosion.
That’s where ETP comes in. ETP has been successfully treating high blends of biodiesel for over a decade, and they’re now working on a new product specifically for B50 biodiesel blends. The Home Heating Oil Additive is designed to improve cold weather performance, reduce sludge and corrosion, and ensure optimal fuel quality. ETP has been field-testing this product with success, and the results have been impressive.
ETP’s Home Heating Oil Additive is made from a blend of patented additives and performance-enhancing chemicals. It’s designed to work in conjunction with existing fuel treatments to provide maximum benefits. The product is easy to use: simply add it to your fuel storage tank or blend it with your fuel before use. The Home Heating Oil Additive is also compatible with other ETP products, such as their Fuel Conditioner and Cold Flow Improver.
Companies that use high blends of biodiesel can benefit from ETP’s expertise and products. ETP provides customized fuel treatment solutions based on the specific needs of each customer. Their experienced team can help companies optimize their fuel storage and use, and ensure that their biodiesel blends are performing at their best. With ETP’s help, companies can maximize the benefits of biodiesel and reduce the challenges of high blends.
