Stay Ahead of Cold Weather Challenges

Cold temperatures or climate pose a clear challenge of waxing of your onboard distillate fuels, thus leading to blocked fuel filters / pipelines / equipment or wax settling in fuel in tanks even at temperatures as high as 15°C.

Stay Ahead of Cold Weather Challenges with Our Solutions 

Cold temperatures can cause serious issues for your onboard  fuels. Wax formation in fuel can lead to blocked filters, pipelines, and even equipment failure—sometimes at temperatures as high as 15°C

Don’t let winter conditions disrupt your operations. 

Our Complete Cold-Weather Fuel Care Portfolio 

Unitor™ DieselPower CFPP 
Designed to protect your fuel system when temperatures drop. This advanced additive lowers the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP), in some cases even down to –25 degree, ensuring smooth fuel flow and reliable engine performance. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Significantly lowers CFPP  
  • Prevents blockages caused by wax formation 
  • Reduces wax particle size for better flow 
  • Avoids unscheduled stops and costly downtime 
  • Minimizes the heating demand for your fuel 

Unitor™ FuelPower PPD 
Your first line of defence against waxing in heavier fuels (f.e. VLSFO). FuelPower PPD improves the pour point properties and helps maintain fuel stability, reducing the risk of filter clogging and operational interruptions. 

Benefits: 

  • Lowers the Pour Point  
  • Improves cold flow performance 
  • Protects against waxing in harsh conditions 
  • Helps lower the energy required to heat your fuel 
  • Optimizes fuel properties to require less heating 

Unitor™ Dieso Test Kit 
Knowledge is power. Our Dieso Test Kit gives you quick, accurate insights into your fuel quality—so you can act before problems occur. 

Benefits: 

  • Easy-to-use onboard testing 
  • Detects fuel issues early 
  • Helps you stay compliant and avoid costly surprises

    Embrace fuel diversity for the future

    Post IMO 2020, the fuel challenges remain unchanged while being more complicated when Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) was implemented in 2020 to be compliant with IMO 2020 regulation. The fuel diversity in the market including residual fuel type (HSFO/VLSFO/ULSFO), distillate fuel type (LSMGO/Diesel), Bio-blends (Bio-VLSFO/HFO, Bio-LSMGO), etc. Invite new challenges and risks.
