Manage Safety Risks Across Terminal Operations
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and low fuel conductivity can introduce safety risks across terminal operations. H₂S Scavengers and Conductivity Improvers help address these challenges.

H₂S Scavengers

Rapid H₂S Mitigation for Terminal Operations
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in stored fuels can create real risks for people, equipment, and environmental compliance. Our high-efficiency H₂S scavengers are engineered to react quickly -- ideal for terminal operations where speed matters.

• Fast-Acting Treatment: Designed to help reduce H2S levels to support safer parts-per-million (ppm) limits for safe transfer, shipping, or railcar loading.
• Versatile Application: Effective across a range of fuel types including crude oil, heavy fuel oils, and middle distillates.
• Non-Fouling Formulations: Designed to mitigate H₂S while helping minimize the formation of byproducts that could affect terminal equipment or downstream processes.

Conductivity Improvers

Static Control for Terminal Handling and Transfer
Low fuel conductivity during terminal operations can increase the risk of static charge accumulation during storage, blending, and loading activities. Our conductivity improvers are designed for terminal use to help support fuel conductivity management, contributing to safer fuel handling and supporting operational and personnel safety requirements.

• Rapid Conductivity Restoration: Helps quickly raise fuel conductivity to meet minimum safety thresholds, reducing static discharge risk during transfers and loading.
• Terminal Focused Protection: Optimized for bulk storage tanks, pipelines, and truck, rail, or marine loading systems.
• Fuel Compatible & Non-Disruptive: Designed for effective performance at low treat rates while helping maintain fuel quality, downstream additive compatibility, and finished fuel specifications.
   

Protect Inventory During Long-Term Storage
Extended storage at the terminal can lead to fuel oxidation, color degradation, and insoluble gum formation—impacting fuel quality and specification readiness. Our antioxidants help maintain fuel stability during extended storage.

• Prevent fuel degradation by helping control free radical reactions during extended storage
• Support fuel stability in aviation fuels and middle distillates
• Preserve fuel value by maintaining quality during storage or changing market conditions
   

Protect Infrastructure and Support Pipeline Readiness
Water and acidic components in fuels can contribute to corrosion in terminal tanks, piping, and loading racks. Our corrosion inhibitors form a protective barrier—helping protect critical assets and support alignment with industry corrosion standards (e.g., NACE).

• Protect tanks and piping from corrosion and scale to support long-term infrastructure integrity
• Support pipeline readiness by aligning corrosion control programs with operator requirements and industry standards (e.g., NACE TM0172)
• Apply across fuel types, including gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels 

Maintain Fuel Flow in Cold Conditions
Cold temperatures can impact fuel flow during seasonal transitions, limiting storage and operational flexibility. Our pour point depressants help maintain flow and support reliable terminal operations in cold weather conditions.

• Improve low-temperature flow by modifying wax crystal formation to support movement through piping and filtration systems
• Adapt to varying fuel streams with formulations tailored for diverse crude and refined distillate profiles
   

Upgrade Value and Meet On-Road Specification
Treat incoming streams at the terminal to improve fuel performance and support on-road specification requirements.

Cetane Improvers

Optimize Ignition Performance While Supporting Compliance
Diesel streams may require cetane adjustment to meet performance and regional requirements. Our cetane improvers help increase cetane—supporting improved ignition quality, compliance with on-road specifications, and greater blending flexibility at the terminal.

 

Simplify Fuel Handling with Integrated Protection
Terminal operations can face challenges related to fuel conductivity and lubricity during storage, blending, and loading. Our multifunctional solution helps address both—supporting efficient fuel handling and streamlined additive management.

• Improve lubricity and control conductivity to help reduce engine wear and mitigate static discharge risk during handling and transfer
• Enable reliable terminal operations across bulk storage, pipelines, and truck, rail, and marine loading systems
• Maintain fuel compatibility at low treat rates while supporting fuel quality, downstream additive compatibility, and finished specifications
