Cold Flow Improvers (CFIs)
Middle Distillate Flow Improvers & Wax Anti Settling Additives
Cold Flow Performance. Regulatory Compliance. Operational Efficiency.
The Regulatory and Operational Challenge
Fuel markets today face tightening global, national, and environmental regulations. Refineries and blenders are under pressure to:
Maximize throughput and processing of opportunity crudes
Reduce operating costs and downtime
Meet increasingly stringent fuel cold flow specifications
Handle bio component blends such as FAME (RME, PME, SME, TME, UCOME)
Ensure compliance without compromising performance or reliability
This creates a complex balance: meeting quality standards while safeguarding margins and operational flexibility.
Rodanco Cold Flow Additive Solutions
Rodanco delivers specialized cold flow additive solutions for middle distillate fuels, designed to ensure reliable performance in storage, transport, and end use applications.
Key Benefits
Cold Flow Performance
Prevents filter plugging and pour point failures in fuels, ensuring smooth flow under low temperature conditions
Wax Management
Minimizes wax settling and deposition in tanks, pipelines, and transportation systems
Blending Flexibility
Maintains stability across mineral fuels, biofuel blends, and seasonal variations
Cost Efficient High Performance
Advanced polymer formulations provide effective cold flow improvement with optimized treat costs
Core Technologies
Advanced Polymer Chemistry
Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Polymethacrylate (PMA) formulations tailored for narrow, broad, and high boiling point distillates
Custom Formulations
Optimized blends balancing performance versus treatment cost for regional and seasonal needs
Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) & Pour Point (PP) Improvement
Reliable flow assurance across climates
Wax Anti Settling Additives (WAFIs/WASAs)
Keep wax crystals suspended, maintaining fuel mobility and reducing maintenance in storage and transport
Excellent Solubility & Stability
Fully compatible with middle distillates, biodiesel blends, and complex logistics conditions
