Overbased magnesium sulfonate13

About this item

Overbased magnesium sulfonate 13 is a highly overbased magnesium sulfonate fuel oil additive with an average particle size of 0.06 microns containing 13 wt. % magnesium. This product is a completely oil soluble, clear brown colored liquid with good stability in the presence of water. Overbased magnesium sulfonate 13  will form high melting point compounds with vanadium during combustion, therefore reducing corrosion and sulfur trioxide formation.

Overbased magnesium sulfonate 13 can be directly added to fuel oil or injected into the fuel line. Recommended dosage for gas turbine applications is three parts magnesium to one part vanadium.
