Asphaltene Inhibitors
The Asphaltene Challenge
Modern marine and industrial fuels
are increasingly prone to asphaltene instability due to:
Complex refinery blending practices
Higher aromatic and paraffinic content mismatches
When asphaltenes become unstable, they precipitate out of fuel, leading to:
Sludge formation in storage and handling systems
Filter plugging and blocked injectors
Flow disruptions and operational downtime
Rodanco Asphaltene Inhibitors
Rodanco’s Asphaltene Inhibitors are designed to prevent asphaltene flocculation, ensuring that heavy components stay stabilized and dispersed within the fuel matrix. By effectively managing asphaltene stability, these inhibitors help maintain fuel quality and prevent operational disruptions in various fuel systems.
Our formulations are designed to deliver reliable performance at low treat rates, ensuring cost effectiveness and operational efficiency. Whether used in marine, industrial, or power generation fuels, Rodanco’s Asphaltene Inhibitors provide long term protection and stability.
Key Benefits of Rodanco’s Asphaltene Inhibitors:
