What Is FPC ?

  • FPC is a combustion enhancer that readily disperses in any liquid

hydrocarbon fuel to play a catalytic role during the combustion process

  • As scientifically accepted, some elements act as catalysts and help

promote combustion. FPC contains ions in the form of Ferrous Picrate (Fe++) proven to be one of the most effective

  • FPC is a true “Combustion Catalyst” in liquid form
  • Treatment Ratio 1:10,000
  • No change to fuel specifications ensuring acceptance by OEM’s

UWA Centre for Energy has the ability to measure the combustion time of one droplet of

  • fuel. Images of combustion flames for pure diesel and FPC treated diesel as below prove

ignition advanced 0.014s and combustion completed 0.054s earlier with FPC catalyst. (A

faster combustion utilizes more of the available energy in a given volume of fuel)
