SNAME
In these times, reducing vessel operating costs is usually
a complex, challenging and expensive proposition. But with the
help of Ferrous FE4 Combustion Catalyst, you can win a small
but decisive victory in the battle against the high costs of fuel,
repairs and maintenance.
Small investment, large return.
A small, one-time investment for equipment and in-
stallation, plus a half of a percent addition to operating fuel
costs, can result in five to 15 times that amount in measurable
savings.
Ferrous has the proof: Success!
• Lower fuel costs.
• Significantly fewer deposits in marine diesels and boilers.
• Less visible smoke and soot.
• Definite improvement in the combustion of poor quality and
lower grade fuels.
All of these benefits are proven in independent laboratory
testing and actual operation today aboard more than 50 ships.
4,000 diesel locomotives and thousands of fleet vehicles.
Ferrous has been used in marine diesel and steam power
plants for more than 15 years. If you'd like to talk to satisfied
customers who are using FE4 to solve the kinds of problems you
may be having, we'll be happy to introduce you!
It all adds up.
Lower fuel costs plus reduced maintenance and repair
costs plus less downtime compared to the low cost of the
Ferrous FE4 Combustion Catalyst Program adds up to a
suprisingly high Return On Investment. The FE4 Program is a
fraction of the cost of retrofitting your power plant with ordinary
fuel saving equipment. If you'd like us to calculate the investment
return for a vessel like yours, or if you would like copies of our
