TECH SHEET
PRO 2000-CALORIC is a balanced compound consisting of an organic dispersant
and emulsifier and a highly effective
combustion improving catalyst suspended in a pure hydrocarbon solvent. The combustion catalyst is a solution of organo-metallic compounds, which are completely miscible with propane. No
settling, plugging or abrasion will occur. Minute quantities of the active
catalyst cause more rapid and complete burning of the propane. PRO
2000-CALORIC also provides protection from the effects of sub standard
propane containing sulfuric compounds, sodium compounds, heavy ends (waxes &
paraffins) and propylene.
PRO 2000-CALORIC will also clean tanks, lines, vaporizing equipment, and
burner nozzles of sludge, waxes, oils and water or other liquids. Regular use will continue this cleaning action preventing future buildups.
PRO 2000-CALORIC treated propane releases heat at an average of 9% faster
than regular
untreated propane. An additional benefit is a 50F. to 100F. degree higher
flame temperature
resulting in more efficient economical operation of equipment and lower
emissions. This
translates into less fuel consumption to complete identical tasks.
PRO
2000-CALORIC
provides the marketer with a premium propane to differentiate his product
from competitors and
the end user with a more cost effective way to complete his many projects
using the fuel.
PRO 2000-CALORIC can be injected into any size storage vessel prior to
filling for immediate
mixing. No settling will occur at the recommended dosage of one gallon
PRO
2000-
CALORIC to three thousand gallons of propane. DANGER: Harmful or fatal
if
swallowed.
Wash with soap and water if exposed to the skin. Keep out of the reach of
children.

RE: Studies of the effect of Bell's new PRO 2000-Caloric with Catalyst on the rate of heat release from commercial mixtures of LPG.
At your request, Bell Additives' chemist has been conducting studies in
his laboratory on the effect of various
catalysts on the rate of heat release in the combustion of LPG. These
studies are performed in an adiabatic reactor
and the total amount of heat released is measured as a function of time.
By using this technique he can measure
the effect that a catalyst has on the speed of the combustion process. He
has performed tests on pure propane and
various mixtures of propane with other C-3 and C-4 molecules. The mixture
that we told him we were most
interested in is one that approximates a commercial mixture that is sold
in South America. The mixture that he
made up and tested in his laboratory consisted of the following on a
volume (i.e. molar) percent basis: 55%
propane, 10% propylene, 20% butane, 10% i-butane, and 5% mixture of cis
and trans-2- butanes.
He has tested a
large number of catalyst samples that he has formulated in his laboratory
along with several commercial catalysts
that are available on the open market.
The new PRO 2000- Caloric with
Catalyst formula gave the greatest
increase in heat release for all of the combustion catalysts that he has
tested thus far.
When the fuel mixture
described above was tested at a volumetric treat ratio of 1 part additive
to 3000 parts fuel, the rate of heat release
was measured to increase by an average of 9% plus or minus 2%. This
average was generated from ten separate
experimental runs.
The chemist indicated that his testing in mixtures
with
a high percentage of propane and with
pure propane showed even better improvement in the speed of heat release
when treated with the PRO
2000-Caloric with Catalyst.
