Exxonmobil Premium Hdme 50

Successfully meets new ECA regulations ExxonMobil Premium Heavy Distillate Marine ECA 50 (HDME 50) is specially designed to help marine operators comply with the 0.10 per cent sulphur cap to introduced in the ECA from 1st January 2015.

Offers potential performance and safety benefits versus distillate marine gas oil (MGO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO) ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 helps engineers to safely and efficiently operate their main and auxiliary engines and boilers. It has the performance benefits associated with both MGO and HFO:

• A low sulphur content associated with MGO

• The higher flashpoint and lower volatility properties typically found in HFO

The properties of ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 allow marine operators to simultaneously:

• Comply with the upcoming ECA sulphur cap

• Reduce the risk of engine and boiler damage

In addition, ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 avoids a number of issues that can be associated with HFO. For example, it does not typically contain catalytic fines – aluminium and silicon within marine fuel - or lead to issues with deposits.

ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 also has enhanced ignition characteristics compared to typical HFO. This helps to optimise combustion, reduce deposits and minimise wear on the fuel system components.

Maintains safety and reliability on-boardWith vessels using MGO, some operators chose to install chillers in their systems to increase the viscosity of their fuel. This costly process is avoided with the use of ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50.

The higher viscosity of ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 makes storing and handling the fuel on-board similar to HFO.

A benefit of having to heat the fuel is a reduction in the risk of thermal shock during fuel switchover when entering and leaving an ECA. This issue can result in pump seizures and engine shutdowns.

Proven performance Following successful field trials, ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 has received ‘No Objection Letters’ from MAN Diesel & Turbo (MDT) and is currently used by a range of vessel operators. It meets and exceeds ISO 8217: 2012 RMD 80.

It is available for vessels operating in the Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp region. ExxonMobil also offers MGO at more than 40 ports worldwide. Deliveries are made by dedicated barges.
