OREANDA-NEWS. Thanks to the Hydro-Treat process of the state-of-the-art jet fuel refining technology, the latest Euro V-standard synthetic diesel (known as “PTT Hyforce Premium Diesel”) contains a special additive that promotes ignition, provides clean combustion, and generates sustained engine power for maximum performance with noticeably less engine noises.

Mr. Sarun Rungkasiri, PTT Plc Chief Operating Officer, Downstream Petroleum Business Group, and Mr. Chavalit Punthong, Senior Executive Vice President, Oil Business Unit, recently held a press conference unveiling PTT Hyforce, PTT's new premium synthetic diesel, the first and only grade in Thailand to meet EURO V standards and dedicated to high-performance diesel engines.

Mr. Rungkasiri said that over the past 35 years, PTT has continually come up with new products to give first-class products to consumers, as seen in its novel PTT Hyforce Premium Diesel, unique to PTT and developed from research based on the same technology as that for the latest generation of jet fuels. Having undergone extended efficiency in laboratory and field tests, the product proves totally satisfying and is another proud innovation for PTT, thanks to its full conformance to the corporate emphasis on technology and the environment.

According to Mr. Punthong, PTT Hyforce-particularly designed for high-performance diesel engines-is a premium synthetic diesel with greater power generated virtually at engine start-ups and sustained throughout. Its production process resembles that of jet fuels, that is, synthesis results from hydro-treating of the latest generation of synthesis jet fuels, where hydrogen plays an active role in the hydrocarbon molecular structure of regular diesel. Faster to ignite while providing cleaner combustion, the resulting synthetic diesel contains a premium additive (Hy-Booster) for maximum engine power and torque.

The pioneering fuel in Thailand to meet EURO V standards with lower pollutant and exhaust emissions, PTT Hyforce is applicable to diesel engines with DPFs (diesel particulate filters), a mechanism designed to trap exhaust particles that is common to European cars. It works with Cleansing Force (the latest, efficient cleansing agent for injectors), prevents injector clogging, totally cleans the fuel system for maximum engine performance, saves fuels, and keeps running engines noticeably less noisy.
