Our comprehensive range of Octapower additives ensures power station and industrial installation equipment delivers optimum performance in terms of engine reliability and maintenance.

This means there is less downtime due to equipment failure. Combustion temperature is increased so heavy fuel is burnt more effectively. This reduces soot formation and ultimately the amount of harmful emissions released into the environment. Above all, our additives are designed to satisfy the changing requirements of oil-fired power stations, whatever their age. After carrying out a thorough audit of plant equipment, the type of fuel being used and the target power output required, our technical teams around the world will make precise recommendations on what additive treatment to use.
