Various industries in Indonesia have adopted the use of B30 fuel in accordance with government policies. B30 is a diesel fuel blend consisting of 30% vegetable oil and 70% petroleum diesel. This fuel has the advantage of a higher cetane number compared to petroleum diesel.

The problem, however, is that the use of B30 can lead to the growth of anaerobic bacteria in fuel tanks. These bacteria cause the formation of sludge, accelerate fuel filter replacement, and lead to the deposition of metal sulfides. Furthermore, they can affect the high-pressure pump and injectors.

Solusi

Eonchemicals offers a solution with its product EonBioFuel 3075 to tackle bacterial issues such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and other bacteria in diesel storage tanks. This specialized product works by attacking the protein systems of bacteria and fungi and breaking their food chain, thus preventing their growth and causing them to die off naturally..

Internal deposit 

Cleaning the deposits inside the tank is also very necessary. Therefore, before treatment with biocide, the biodiesel tank needs to be cleaned first. 

Success Story  

A mining company in Kalimantan once faced issues with injectors in their units, which required more frequent replacements. After investigation, a significant amount of anaerobic bacteria was found in the fuel.

Eonchemicals provided a solution with EonFuel 3075, a biocide chemical specifically formulated to prevent and kill bacteria and fungi in diesel storage tanks.

To make the use of biocide more effective, Eonchemicals also utilized EonTank 600 to clean the inside of the tank. EonTank 600 is a solvent surfactant blend specifically formulated to clean oil/diesel tanks.
