ERC Soot Guard assures a permanently stable flame and soot-free, economical and environmentally-friendly combustion of heating oil in oil heating systems. THE EFFECT Soot is normally not a problem for modern oil heaters, except for oil heaters, where it may bring about high consequential costs. As a rule of thumb, a 1-mm-thick layer of soot on the boiler wall inhibits the heat transfer to the hot water to the extent that the heating oil consumption increases by approx. 4% with a consistent heat requirement. The main cause of soot is a poor and incomplete combustion of heating oil due to low oxygen levels. ERC soot guard relieves this and is simply added to the heating oil. THE RESULT ERC soot guard's catalytic effect is released in the flame and re-establishes optimal soot-free conditions. Consumption and costs are reduced and the impact on the environment as well as on the wallet is reduced, too. ERC soot guard works in more than just the flame.

ERC Protect with BL-U 100 triples the storage life of diesel fuel and fights against bacteria, fungi, and yeast for the reliable and quick start-up of emergency generators. THE EFFECT Emergency generators and other auxiliary engines are only used very infrequently. However, they must start and run reliably under all conditions. It is all the more important that the diesel fuel which is used retains its original quality and that the injection nozzles or injectors, the fuel system, and the pump are in the best condition. ERC Protect with BL-U 100 ensures this. THE RESULT ERC Protect with BL-U 100 contains stabilisers which stop the ageing process of diesel. Storage life and thermal stability are increased as a result. A biocide prevents the besetting of the fuel with micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeast. As a result, fuel and engine are ready for use. The combustion is optimised, which means consumption and harmful emissions are lowered.

Guard Thermic 3000 HP slows the natural ageing of heating oil and keeps energy stores, pumps, burners, and lines clean for high efficiency and operational reliability. THE EFFECT The newly developed heating oil additive ERC Guard Thermic 3000 HP significantly slows the ageing process of heating oil and prevents sediments. Energy stores, pumps, burners and lines remain clean and the heating system operates with the highest efficiency and operational reliability. Consumption and harmful emissions are reduced with clean combustion. In addition, ERC Guard Thermic 3000 HP increases the thermal stability and the storage life of heating oil. Deposits which are already present are also dissolved. ERC Guard Thermic 3000 HP is formulated such that sediments are slowly dissolved in small quantities and burned with the heating oil without leading to faults in the heater.

ERC Guard Thermic for low-sulphur heating oil with a bio share and all other DIN heating oils slows the natural ageing of heating oil and contains an organic combustion enhancer. The Effect ERC Guard Thermic slows the natural ageing of heating oil. Stabilisers prevent components of the heating system from releasing into the heating oil and forming sediments, and/or accelerating the ageing of the heating oil. In the process, select active ingredients neutralise the ions already in the heating oil and apply a protective coating to the metal surfaces, which suppresses the release of new ions and protects against corrosion. In addition, the additive prevents the formation of resin-like, adhesive ageing products which arise due to the high thermal load of the heating oil within the pump and can block it. At the same time, lubrication of the pump is improved.

ERC Guard Kinetic supplements light heating oil with additional characteristics which optimise it for stationary engines and enables the operation of diesel CHPs with more affordable heating oil. THE EFFECT ERC Guard Kinetic was specially developed for combined heat and power plants and other stationary engines which can be operated with any type of less expensive heating oil instead of diesel. The exclusively formulated combination of active ingredients lends the heating oil the characteristics which it lacks for effective and gentle operation in diesel engines. ERC Guard Kinetic is suitable for all heating oil types with a bio share of up to 20% and improves the characteristics of standard diesel. The heating oil with additive is primarily used for combined heat and power plants, from the macro to the mini, to the future micro CHPs designed for individual homes.

grotamar ® 82 kills micro-organisms in diesel and heating oil quickly and reliably and thereby protects against malfunctions and damage in engines and heaters. THE EFFECT Water in the diesel, condensate water, and heat in the tank system provide conditions for the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast. They form bio-sludge and organic acids which lead to filter clogging and corrosion. A failure of the engine or heating system is the result. By adding grotamar ® 82, the growth of micro-organisms can be prevented. THE RESULT grotamar ® 82 quickly kills microbial pests and effectively protects against corrosion. Expensive repairs are avoided. grotamar ® 82 was also successfully tested as an initial biocide by Öl-Wärme-Institut in an oil burner pump endurance test and fulfils the criteria catalogue for heating oil (extra light) additives.

THE EFFECT Fluctuating quality of fuel can impair performance and consumption. Coking on injection nozzles raises fuel consumption. The high pressures of modern injection pumps require outstanding fuel lubricating properties. ERC Diesel Power Additive improves ignition behavior (rise in cetane count), cleans and keeps injection nozzles clean, and the lubricity improver improves the lubricating properties of diesel, thus providing optimal protection from wear. ERC Diesel Power Additive contains a Performance Packet for stabilizing ageing or oxidation and cold-protection (in winter operation). THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: - eases cold start, boosts engine output - improves lubricating properties of diesel fuel and works against wear - cleans and keeps the fuel system and injection nozzles clean - protects against corrosion in fuel tanks, fuel supply lines and engine interior - results in lowers fuel consumption clean burning and reduction in emissions such as rust, CO etc.

THE EFFECT Fluctuating fuel grades can impair performance and fuel consumption. Coking at the injection nozzle increases fuel consumption. Diesel fuel contains paraffin which causes crystallization on cooling. If cold protection is inadequate this can lead to blockage of tubing and filters. Diesel plus-Winter improves the ignition behavior /cetane booster, cleans the injection nozzles and keeps them clean. Furthermore, it prevents the formation of large paraffin crystals and thus improves the operational reliability of diesel vehicles in winter. It contains a high-performance package for stabilization of ageing and oxidation. THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: - Cetane booster: facilitates cold starting, improves power - Improves reliability of the diesel fuel under cold conditions – therefore indispensable in winter operation. - Cleans the fuel system and injection nozzles and keeps them clean – reduces fuel consumption

The ERC diesel particulate filter cleaning set is an affordable solution for clogged diesel particulate filters. The Effect It is well known that diesel particulate filter are not getting hot enough to burn ash particles deposits in the short-distance use ( ERC CatClean lowers the soot burn temperatur). But not only soot is influencing DPF function also other deposits , so called oilashes, disturb it and have to be removed from the DPF. Oilashes are even not burned at high temperatures of 500 - 600°C. Nonetheless it is not necessary to change the DPF. With ERC Diesel particulate filter cleaning set it is easy, effectiv and much cheaper to clean the DPF. The Result The ERC diesel particulate filter cleaning set is comprised of the diesel particulate filter cleaning concentrate and the diesel particulate filter flush. Used in succession, they actively break down the accumulated oil ash.

THE EFFECT Diesel fuel contains paraffin which promotes clean combustion and lubricates the fuel system components. At low temperatures, however, paraffin forms crystals. As the temperature falls, more and more crystals form and coalesce into lumps which then block the fuel lines and fuel filter. The active components in ERC Diesel Anti-Freeze „enclose“ the crystals, thus them from growing and coalescing with other crystals. In addition, ERC Diesel Anti-Freeze forms crystallization nuclei which encourage the formation of large numbers of small crystals that can then easily pass through the fuel filter. THE RESULT - Prevents the formation of large paraffin crystals - Enhances the reliability of diesel-engined vehicles in winter - Lowers the CFPP* as far -33°C (depending on the quality of the diesel fuel used) THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE - Keeps paraffin crystals small enough to pass through the fuel filter - Improves the low-temperature characteristics of all diesel fuels

The Effect Fluctuations in the quality of diesel fuel can have a detrimental effect on performance and fuel efficiency. Carbon deposits on the injection jets lead to increased fuel consumption. And if the fuel contains insufficient anti-freeze, this can cause blockages in the fuel lines and fuel filters at low operating temperatures. ERC Diesel Additive provides an effective solution to these problems by virtue of its broad spectrum of benefits. The Result ERC Diesel Additive used in combination with DIN-standard diesel fuel increases the cetane rating by up to 12 %. A high cetane rating makes the fuel easier to ignite, enhances fuel efficiency, dampens engine noise and reduces exhaust emissions. THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: - Enhances engine performance - Reduces fuel consumption - Cleans the injection jets and fuel system - Reduces engine noise by up to 60 %

The Effect Soot build-up in diesel particulate filters only burn without the use of an additive at a temperature of 500 to 600 °C. These values are not reached in normal operation. ERC CatClean works catalytically and reduces the ignition temperature of the soot to approx. 350 °C, and so continuous burn-off of soot is guaranteed even at low-load and correspondingly low temperatures. The Result ERC CatClean ensures a permanent, additive-supported regeneration of the diesel particulate filter during operation. Soot particles are continuously cleaned from the filter by direct burn-off without maintenance, downtimes, or problems. ERC CatClean is suitable for every filter material and does not change the diesel quality. The benefits at a glance: - Special additive for application in diesel fuel to burn off soot deposits in diesel particle filters - CatClean works catalytically and reduces the ignition temperature

3-zones corrosion protection for safe wintering and seasonal shutdown of all vehicles, machinery and equipment powered by gasoline. - Extreme protection against corrosion - Cleaning of the fuel system - Stabilization of the fuel THE EFFECT: A selection of highly active substances with an excellent corrosion and aging protection, and detergent of a new generation for a clean fuel- and injection system. MPULSER 3-zones corrosion protection was tested in a corrosion test of practical relevance in terms of its stabilizing, anti-corrosive properties by the independent institute Tec4Fuels GmbH. The results were faced with 4 comparable market products. THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: - Extreme protection against corrosion in the whole fuel system (in watergasoline- and gas- /air zone). Even with an existing water phase. - Cleaning of the fuel- and injector system – in consequence power recovery by the dissolution of formed deposits / combustion residues

THE EFFECT Deposits on the valves and on the surfaces of the injection jets reduce the fuel flow and lead to a drop-in injection performance. The result of these deposits are increased fuel consumption, a higher level of exhaust emissions, as well as uneven engine running. The fuel-air mixture cannot form properly. Engine performance suffers accordingly. The highly concentrated ERC Valve/Fuel System Cleaner removes deposits from valves, from the injection jets and other fuel system components. THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE - Removes reliably deposits especially from inlet valves, injection jets as well as from other injection system components - Improves reliability and fuel consumption - Restores full engine performance and ensures environment-friendly combustion

ERC Flow Guard Premium is a flow enhancer with very good mixing behaviour for the use of diesel fuel and heating oil in the winter. THE EFFECT Heating oil and diesel fuel are already relatively winter-proof, but when it is very cold, the contained paraffins can separate and agglomerate. Consequently, they clog lines and filters, in which case the heating system or the engine no longer runs properly or can even shut down. THE RESULT ERC Flow Guard Premium contains so-called nucleating agents which are available in surplus in the cooling paraffin condensation cores. As a result, smaller growth crystals form instead of larger. The minuscule growth crystals can easily pass through lines and filters without causing clogging. In addition, a surface limiter envelops the paraffin crystals and keeps them in suspension. As a result, larger clumps cannot form at a later time, either.

The ERC bike fuel system cleaner reduces the susceptibility of modern engines to design-related and operational-related build-up on parts of the valves coming into contact with fuel, on the fuel system, and on the injection system. The Effect Deposits on valves and the surface of the nozzle needle tip reduce the flow of fuel and diminish peak performance. These mixture deposits lead to higher emissions of harmful substances, increased wear, and irregular engine running. The mixture formation is disturbed and the operating behaviour of the engine is worsened. The high-concentration ERC bike fuel system cleaner breaks down build-up on the valves, in the fuel system, and on the injection nozzles. The Result The longer the engine is operated with fuel without additives, the greater the accumulation of deposits and the greater the resulting flow reduction. The use of bike fuel system cleaner removes the build-up on valves and the fuel system and restores the optimal fuel flow.

- for older generations of gasoline engines - protects against corrosion and deposits - enhances lubrication THE EFFECT Older-generation vehicles are often laid up for long periods after the summer season has finished. Moisture from the air and water precipitated out of the fuel then actively promote corrosion in the fuel tank, fuel lines and the interior of the engine. Old fuels can cause deposits, impairing fuel flow and injection performance. Fouled nozzles, inlet ports and valves thus impair engine performance, raise pollutant emissions and increase consumption. The introduction of low-Sulphur fuels also lessens the lubricant action on the injection and fuel system. The consequence: Increased wear. ERC Oldtimer Performance Additive protects against corrosion, increases the fuels lubricant action and prevents the formation of new deposits. It thus ensures engine reliability, combined with optimized consumption, particularly in older vehicles.

THE EFFECT Coke deposits on the injection jets lead to an increase fuel consumption. Corrosion particles (either in the diesel fuel or formed within the fuel system itself) can put the entire fuel system out of action. ERC System Cleaner for diesel engines cleans contaminated injection jets and helps to prevent residues and corrosion within the fuel system. THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE - Cleans the injection pump and injection jets - Protects against deposits and corrosion - Ensures reduced fuel consumption as well as Environmental-friendly combustion - Restores full engine performance

The Effect: Biker usually suffered from the air and water precipitated out of the fuel then actively promote corrosion in the fuel tank, fuel lines and the interior of the engine. Old fuels or bad fuel quality can cause deposits, impairing fuel flow and injection Protection. Fouled nozzles, inlet ports and valves thus impair engine Protection, raise pollutant emissions and increase consumption. The introduction of low-Sulphur fuels also lessens the lubricant action on the injection and fuel system. The consequence: Increased wear. The advantages at a glance: - Protects against corrosion in the fuel tank, fuel lines and the interior of the engine - Prevents harmful deposits on the carburettor, valves, injection nozzles, spark plugs and interior combustion chamber - Increases the fuel´s lubricant action, thus preventing wear and ensuring optimum reliability, particularly in injection systems - Increase the fuel quality - Restores optimum fuel flow and full engine output
