MSAR Outpaces Other Fuels

MSAR is unique in many ways. It can be adapted to be manufactured from almost any liquid hydrocarbon, making it a flexible solution to suit customer needs. It is also conveniently manufactured in a portable MSAR Manufacturing Unit (MMU) that is easily setup on site and can be used in multiples for larger processes.

Once the hydrocarbon is converted into MSAR, the fuel has a number of benefits:

MSAR has reduced viscosity which allows the fuel to be easily handled and transported.
MSAR burns efficiently, resulting in over 99 percent carbon burnout, eliminating the fouling of boilers.
MSAR has a very short combustion time resulting in decreased NOx production.
MSAR can be conveniently manufactured on-site in a portable MMU.
MSAR can be customized to suit the application; for a once-through-steam generator used in the thermal heavy oil industry, for a utility power boiler, or for a diesel engine.
MSAR can be adapted to the feedstock source, the transportation and handling requirements, and the storage conditions.
MSAR has virtually unrestricted supply, since low value feedstocks are used for its manufacture.

Let us compare MSAR with coal, bitumen, asphaltenes and natural gas.

This table shows that while coal and bitumen are abundant, they do not have complete combustion and while natural gas is clean burning, it has limited long term supply.
