DESCRIPTION:

ALKEN® PDE 903 is a scientifically balanced blend of polymers and other ingredients designed for treating distillate Diesel fuel to allow trouble-free winter operation.

ALKEN® PDE 903 modifies the crystal structure of fuel wax, lowering the pour point, improving pumpability, and enhancing low-temperature filterability to permit satisfactory operation at temperatures significantly below the cloud point of the fuel.

ADVANTAGES:

• Minimizes wax deposition in fuel storage tanks and pipelines.
• Provides a fine dispersion of wax which reduces friction and prolongs life of the fuel pump and other moving parts.
• Contains no metals, halogens or sulfur.
• Contains no ingredients harmful to Diesel engines.
• Completely organic and ash-free.
• Higher flash point than many competing products

DOSAGE AND FEEDING:

ALKEN® PDE 903 must be uniformly blended with the Diesel fuel before wax begins to crystallize -- the fuel temperature must be above the cloud point of the fuel when applied. Blending can be accomplished by adding ALKEN® PDE 903 to the storage tank before adding fuel, by means of circulating pumps, if available, or proportional metering pumps. The required dosage of ALKEN® PDE 903 may range from 1 gallon per 2000 gallons of fuel for low-wax fuels at moderately low temperatures to as high as 1 gallon per 500 gallons of fuel for high-wax fuels at very low temperatures. In the most severe of circumstances, a combination of treatment with ALKEN® PDE 903 and blending with kerosine may be needed. By weight, the dose range would be from 165 lbs. to 665 lbs. per 1,000 barrels (0.05 to 0.20%).

HANDLING AND STORAGE:

ALKEN® PDE 903 contains petroleum distillates. Avoid skin contact and breathing of vapors while handling. Store at moderate temperatures away from flame or other sources of ignition. The concentrated product may gel if stored at temperatures below 10 F. If gelling occurs it can be corrected by moving the drum into a warmer area until the product reliquifies.
For transportation: This product is labeled as COMBUSTIBLE.

PACKAGING:

ALKEN® PDE 903 is available in 5-gallon steel pails or 55-gallon steel drums, conforming to Performance Oriented Packaging Specifications. Minimum order is 5 x 5 gallon pails or 1 x 55 gallon drum.
