Chevron announced the launch of Proformix fuel, a lower-emissions fuel for diesel engines that will be used by fleet vehicles in and around the port terminals of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Proformix fuel is a "water-in-fuel" diesel blend that uses Lubrizol's PuriNOx technology to lower PM and NOx emissions in direct-injection, diesel-powered engines. The new fuel significantly reduces particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Chevron is introducing the new fuel in limited quantities to on-and-off highway commercial customers in Southern California.
Terminal operators at the Port of Los Angeles have tested Proformix and agreed to use the new fuel.
"Proformix fuel instantly reduces emissions from most existing diesel engines without hardware add-ons, engine modifications or replacements required by many other diesel fuel alternatives," said Sheila Taylor, vice president of U.S. Marketing, Chevron Products Company. "It is a `fill-and-go,' practical solution for our commercial customers to reduce emissions."
The California Air Resources Board verified this technology with test results concluding PM reduction by 63 percent and NOx by 14 percent.
The product will be marketed to commercial customers with centrally fueled fleets or equipment, including buses, waste management fleets, agricultural/construction equipment and stationary power generators.
