| FOR OFFSHORE - MARINE APPLICATIONS |
PRI-OCIDE is a synergistic combination of two microbiocides designed to provide a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity, especially where the control of such growth has historically been difficult.Why Do I Need A Microbicide? It is very common for small amounts of water to accumulate in diesel fuel. This occurs through a natural process of condensation, and in some cases, through leaks in tank seals. Once present in your fuel, the water acts as a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi. These organisms feed off the hydrocarbons in your fuel, creating a waste product which is corrosive and harmful. These microorganisms also create a layer of emulsified oil, which further increases the microorganism growth, thereby increasing the rate at which your diesel fuel degrades.Two Phase Effectiveness PRI-OCIDE contains two active ingredients that work together synergistically to kill growth in both the water and emulsified oil phases. PRI-OCIDE penetrates the emulsified oil phase, killing growth therein, and quickly disperses into the water phase, where the bulk of mirco-organisms grow. As PRI-OCIDE kills these microorganisms, the emulsified oil separates and this valuable fuel is returned to a usable form. The creation of sludge is halted, and tank corrosion is inhibited.
Effective In All Distillates EPA registered, PRI-OCIDE is effective in all diesel fuels, MDOs, MGOs, and home heating oils. PRI-OCIDE can also be safely combined with PRI-D, so that you can protect your diesel fuel while at the same time, enhance the fuels performance. Use PRI-OCIDE in each fill up to keep your fuel free from contamination and thereby safeguard your valuable engine. |
