Vanadium Inhibitor MB2800

MB2800 GAS TURBINE FUEL ADDITIVE

MB2800 is an oil-soluble magnesium fuel additive which offers continuous high temperature corrosion protection in gas turbines operating on high ash-bearing fuels. It is normally used in heavy and residual-grade fuel oil and crude oil where the alkali trace metals (sodium and potassium) have been removed or reduced. MB2800 is essentially free of particulate matter and will form a stable solution when mixed with fuel. This fuel additive has also excellent water tolerance and resistance to hydrolysis.

1. FUNCTION

MB2800 introduces magnesium into the fuel which reacts with vanadium during combustion to form high melting magnesium vanadates, thereby interrupting the catastrophic corrosion process associated with low melting points vanadates. MB2800 is normally used at treatment ratio of Mg/V=3.0 on a weight to weight basis; i.e.3 ppm magnesium per each ppm of vanadium in the fuel. Your gas turbine manufacturer should be consulted, however, and their recommended dosage ratio should be followed.

2. HANDLING AND STORAGE

MB2800 is readily pumpable from unheated storage at temperatures above 0°C (32°F). It is stable as packaged and in mild steel or aluminum storage tanks.

MB2800 will not stratify or degrade. In hot climates, it is recommended that MB2800 be stored in the shade where possible and that storage time be limited to twelve months.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MB2800 is an industrial chemical and should be handled with care, using the same precautions as used with ordinary petroleum distillates, solvents and weak alkalis. Do not spill or drain into sewage, streams or other bodies of water. Avoid open flame. Do not take internally and avoid skin and eye contact or prolonged exposure to vapor. In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water. For contact with eyes, flush thoroughly with clean water. In case of eye contact or internal ingestion, seek medical attention.

MB2800 is available in non-returnable steel drums containing net 250 kg, or in Intermediate Bulk containers (IBC’s) containing net 1,300 kg. It is also available in bulk by request.
