Product Overview:

CarbonSolv BioShield B50 is a broad-spectrum fuel biocide designed to eliminate and prevent microbial contamination in marine gas oil (MGO and distillate fuels.)

It effectively kills bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that thrive at the fuel-water interface, preventing filter blockages, fuel degradation, corrosion, and costly de-bunkering.

Formulated to be oil soluble with water-seeking characteristics, BioShield B50 penetrates both phases to control microbial activity, safeguard fuel quality, and ensure reliable engine performance.

Performance Benefits:

Broad-Spectrum Microbial Control

Kills a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, mould, and yeasts.

Corrosion Prevention

Prevents microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) in fuel tanks and lines.

Filter Protection

Minimises filter plugging caused by microbial sludge and biomass.

Fuel Restoration

Restores contaminated fuel, eliminating de-bunkering costs.

Clean Combustion

Leaves no ash upon combustion.

Cost-Effective Protection

Cost-effective method for long-term protection of stored fuels.

Performance Evaluation

Fuel contamination often occurs when condensation water or ingress collects at tank bottoms, enabling microbes to grow. These organisms feed on hydrocarbons, producing sludge, acids, and gases (e.g., H₂S) that:

  • - Reduce fuel heating value.
  • - Corrode tanks, pumps, and injectors.
  • - Block filters and separators.

BioShield B50 works by:

  • - Penetrating into the water layer where microbes live.
  • - Destroying cell membranes and metabolic pathways of bacteria and fungi.
  • - Ensuring complete microbial kill in both fuel and water phases.
