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
