Nippon Yuka Kogyo an NYK Group company, has developed a new lubricity-improving, anti-mold oil additive for low-sulfur gas oil. The additive, Yunic750LS-F, can be added to low-sulfur (0.1%) gas oil that will soon be required in emission control areas. The additive lessens fuel-oil equipment problems that can be caused by gas oil having a lack of lubricity or containing mold, thus improving the safety of fuel-oil equipment and contributing to better operations. Low-sulfur gas oil is used only in emission control areas, so there is the possibility that it could be stored in the gas oil tank over an extended time. The anti-mold feature of this additive prevents mold caused by condensed water that can mix with the gas oil. Until now, separate additives were needed for lubricity improvement and anti-mold measures, but Yunic750LS-F has both properties in one product. Patent and trademark applications have been filed.
