  4. What Is FPC ?  FPC is a combustion enhancer that readily disperses in any liquid hydrocarbon fuel to play a catalytic role during the combustion process  As scientifically accepted, some elements act as catalysts and help promote combustion. FPC contains ions in the form of Ferrous Picrate (Fe++) proven to be one of the most effective  FPC is a true “Combustion Catalyst” in liquid form  Treatment Ratio 1:10,000  No change to fuel specifications ensuring acceptance by OEM’s 3

  6. Benefits Provided by FPC  Reduced fuel consumption  Maintenance benefits  Cleaner longer lasting oil  Reduced exhaust smoke  Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions  Acts as a biocide 5

  7. How FPC Works (Pre-Combustion) FPC forms propagating sites throughout the air/fuel mixture initiating multiple flame fronts. Fuel Injector Fuel combustion from injector down toward piston Many Ignition Points Straight Fuel FPC Treated Fuel 6

  8. How FPC Works (Combustion Phase) Enhance gas Enhance heat Reaction rate transfer Decompose Increased Ferrous Iron Increased burning Picrate atoms Flame rate Temperature The working of FPC is independent of the fuel (Quote from Professor Dongke Zhang) 7

  9. Product Testing (Fuel consumed for work done)  Field Testing  Laboratory and Dynamometer  Statistical As well as many independent scientific tests, FTPL in conjunction with customers have conducted hundreds of International Engineering type tests. (All reports available at www.fueltechnology.com.au or www.fpc1.com listed by either type of engine tested or type of tests conducted) 8

  20. UWA Study of Heat Release Increase on Single Droplet of Diesel Fuel Ref; UWA UWA Centre for Energy has the ability to measure the combustion time of one droplet of fuel. Images of combustion flames for pure diesel and FPC treated diesel as below prove ignition advanced 0.014s and combustion completed 0.054s earlier with FPC catalyst . (A faster combustion utilizes more of the available energy in a given volume of fuel) Pure diesel NO.1 NO.2 (t i +5ms) NO.3 (t i +0.5s) NO.4( t i +1s) NO.5(t c =2.182s) (t i =1.152s) Diesel with catalyst 1-3200 NO.1 NO.2 (t i +5ms) NO.3 (t i +0.5s) NO.4( t i +1s) NO.5(t c =2.128s) (t i =1.138s)

  21. Improved Combustion Efficiency (Ref; UWA) Graph illustrates Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) at fixed engine speed but variable loads. At light load fuel consumption reduced from 573.1 to 548.9 g/kW = 4.2%. When load (pressure) increased benefit reduced to 2.5%.

  22. Reduced CO & UHC Emissions (Ref; UWA) Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) result from incomplete combustion and are toxic to humans. Improved fuel combustion efficiencies must be reflected in exhaust emissions. FPC significantly reduces these harmful emissions. CO reduced by up to 22% UHC reduced by up to 15% 16 n = 2800 rpm n = 2800 rpm 2.0 RD RD 14 FPC-D(1:10000) FPC-D(1:10000) 1.8 FPC-D(1:5000) FPC-D(1:5000) 1.6 12 UHC emission (g/kWh) CO emission (g/kWh) 1.4 10 1.2 8 1.0 6 0.8 4 0.6 (a) (a) 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 BMEP (MPa) BMEP (MPa) RD=Reference diesel (untreated)

  23. Reduced Exhaust Soot (Smoke) (Ref; UWA)  Soot has adverse impact on machinery & environment.  Known occupational health hazard.  FPC proven to greatly reduce these risks 90 Full load RD D+FPC 1:15000 80 D+FPC 1:10000 Smoke emissions reduced D+FPC 1:5000 70 depending on engine duty D+FPC 1:1000 Smoke opacity (%) cycle by 7.3 to 39.5%. 60 50 40 30 20 2800 3000 3200 3400 3600 Engine speed (rpm)
