Unitor Fuel & Oil Additives

 

Unitor fuel and oil additives are engineered for reliable performance in demanding marine and offshore environments. These chemical treatments are specifically trusted for optimising combustion, supporting engine cleanliness, and ensuring environmental compliance by delivering: 

• Enhanced lubricity for protection of fuel injection equipment 
• Efficient separation of oil and water for bilge compliance 
• Soot reduction to prevent exhaust boiler fouling 
• Reliable performance with low-sulphur and distillate fuels 

Marine Fuel Additive Product Range 

Fuel Lubricity & Conditioning 

Unitor Dieselpower Lubricity provides critical protection for engines running on low-sulphur distillate fuels. This additive restores the lubricating properties often lost during the desulphurisation process, preventing excessive wear on fuel pumps and injection systems. It acts as a barrier against mechanical friction without affecting the fuel’s water separation properties. 

Sludge & Filtration Control 

Unitor Filtercare is a heavy-duty solvent specifically developed for the cleaning of fuel oil filters, pre-heaters, and burner tips. By effectively dissolving heavy fuel oil sludge and carbonaceous deposits, it ensures unrestricted fuel flow and reduces maintenance downtime. Its specialised formulation has self-splitting emulsifiers that allow for easy separation of oil and water after cleaning. 

Engine Room Cleaning & Separation 

Unitor Cleanbreak offers a compliant solution for general engine room maintenance. Unlike standard detergents that create tight emulsions, Cleanbreak is a self-splitting cleaner that allows slop water to separate rapidly into distinct oil and water phases. This feature ensures optimal performance of Oily Water Separators (OWS), helping vessels meet MARPOL regulations and maintain discharge limits. 

Exhaust & Soot Treatment 

Unitor Fuelpower Soot Remover maximises boiler efficiency by lowering the ignition temperature of soot deposits. This dry powder additive catalyses the combustion of soot at lower temperatures (reducing it from ~600°C to ~280°C), preventing dangerous soot fires and reducing cold-end corrosion in exhaust gas boilers and economisers.

FAQs 

What fuel additives does Offshore Supply stock for marine engines?
Offshore Supply stocks a core range of Unitor fuel and oil additives, including Dieselpower Lubricity for low-sulphur fuels, Filtercare for sludge removal, Cleanbreak for engine room cleaning, and Fuelpower Soot Remover for exhaust boiler maintenance. 

Are Unitor cleaning additives compatible with Oily Water Separators (OWS)? 

Yes. Unitor Cleanbreak is specifically formulated as a “self-splitting” cleaner. It allows oil and water to separate rapidly after cleaning, ensuring that bilge water can be processed effectively by Oily Water Separators in compliance with MARPOL regulations. 

Can I buy Unitor fuel additives in bulk? 

Yes. Offshore Supply offers bulk quantities of all Unitor fuel and oil additives, including 25Ltrs. We offer same-day dispatch to UK and European ports to support bunkering schedules and voyage planning. 

Why is a lubricity additive needed for marine distillate fuels? 

Low-sulphur distillate fuels often lack the natural lubricating properties found in heavier fuels. Unitor Dieselpower Lubricity restores this lubricity, protecting high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors from premature wear and seizure. 

Do Unitor products come with safety data sheets (SDS)? 

Yes. Every Unitor fuel and oil additive includes full technical documentation and safety data sheets (SDS). Offshore Supply provides access to detailed usage guidelines, dosing instructions, and safety information to ensure safe handling aboard vessels.
