ALKYLATE BENEFITS IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Alkylate is a petroleum product, it is a component of gasoline produced synthetically. The alkylation process takes place in petroleum refineries. Excess gas from crude oil distillation and cracking plants is mixed to form the alkylate. By adding butane molecules in gaseous form, a very pure liquid is produced; alkylate is one of the cleanest petroleum products that can be produced. Alkylate gasoline consists of up to ten different components, while the usual gasoline consists of at least 350 different components. Only a few refineries in the world can produce alkylate fluid. It's better for your health, your engine and our environment. On the other hand, Alkylate is also easy to use. You no longer have to go to the pump, no more mixing the oil yourself. Compared to cars, small combustion engines like those of chain saws, mowers and mopeds emit relatively much unburned gasoline. Their simpler and less expensive construction is the cause. Normal gasoline contains harmful substances like sulfur, benzene or aromatics. Benzene is carcinogenic. It is therefore important to avoid exposure as much as possible. Essence alkylate fluid contains almost no harmful substances because it is refined in a special way. FEW BENEFITS OF ALKYLATE FLUID • Your engine always startsrn• Keeps for many yearsrn• Almost odorlessrn• Less maintenance and longer lifern• Your health and the environment are optimally protected OTHER BENEFITSIT’S FUEL CONSUMPTION The main advantage that motivates a motorist to opt for a alkylate fluid is undoubtedly the low fuel consumption. A diesel car will consume up to 20% less gasoline than a conventional car. THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE ENGINE The Alkylate fluid will last on average longer than a traditional gasoline engine. As this engine heats up less, it can reach without too many problems the 200,000 kilometers, and even 300,000, according to some. THE PERFORMANCE / CONSUMPTION RATIO The fluid can offer the same type of performance as a conventional engine but have a very low consumption rate. The particle filter, for example, but also the injection systems now allow it to compete with other vehicles. GOOD RESALE VALUE With a smaller but more targeted market, you will be able to resell your used diesel car at a good price. In addition, the competition is also less fierce and the buyers easier to target. The car retains a good value. LESS UNBURNT HYDROCARBONS Even if alkylate is obviously not the most ecological option on the market in terms of vehicle, it is interesting to learn that it releases notably less unburnt hydrocarbons than other vehicles. In Conclusion: • The Alkylate fluid releases on average 20% less unburned hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide compared to the petrol engine which is very useful in automobile industry (Unburned hydrocarbons come from the incomplete combustion of fuel and oil. They cause irritation and are carcinogenic). • Thanks to new technologies such as the particulate filter, the engine has the same level of performance, or even more, than a gasoline engine (on the same displacement). • The Alkylate fluid consume around 15% less fuel compared to petrol engines and therefore have a longer range. • A diesel engine runs slower and therefore wears less quickly. • Alkylate fluid remains cheaper than petrol at the pump.
