Use Concentration
Fields of Application (Preservative for modern B5** - B100** diesel fuel and heating oil) Recommended dosage Remarks Diesel fuels/ heating oil (prophylactic treatment) 0.25 – 0.80 l for 1000 l diesel or heating oil continuously every time the tank is refilled (250 – 800 ppm) Underdosing must be avoided. Efficacy of the preservatives may be lost if used below the recommended use concentration, this is due to the biodegradability of the product. Should underdosing occur on a regular basis selected micro-organisms may not be killed by the preservative. In these circumstances, as the majority of organisms have been killed, the selected microorganisms will have ideal growth conditions. Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
Diesel fuel/ heating oil (shock dosing) 1.0 – 2.50 l for 1000 l diesel or
heating oil (1000 – 2500 ppm)Preventive Dosage Add 1/4 bottle (250 ml) per 1000 L (1:4000) fuel every time the tank is refilled Use every time you fill the tank! Shock Dosing Follow application instructions:
1 bottle of grotamar® 82 (1 l) per 1000 L fuelUnderdosing is to be avoided! - Instructions on Application
- grotamar® 82 is optimized for usage in all diesel fuel and heating oil qualities (with or without biodiesel fuel rate (B0 - B20)) also for use in pure biodiesel (e.g. FAME as B100).
- grotamar®82 is ready to use and disperses quickly and evenly in the fuel.
- In cases of microbial contamination of tank systems which is visible or causing technical problems, e.g. if visible biosludge or filter blockages frequently occur, we recommend shock dosing of 1000 ppm to 2500 ppm of grotamar® 82.
- The dosage must be related to the total fuel volume.
- After applying grotamar® 82 dead microorganism or dissolved biosludge can block filters.
-
In cases of heavy fouling, the fuel system (tank, pipes, filter) should be cleaned thoroughly before treatment with grotamar® 82 to avoid recontamination from biosludge residues.
-
For prophylactic treatment a concentration of 250-800 ppm is recommended, every time the tank is refilled.
-
Product should only be used in places with good ventilation.
-
Direct inhalation has to be avoided.
-
Always wear long-sleeve shirts and trousers (or overalls), closed-toe shoes, gloves, and protective eyewear when applying grotamar® 82 to the fuel, fuel tank or fuel system.
-
Ensure containers are always stored in an upright position.
