Sorokin Application of "gel multimodal additive FE-DO technology" for operation parameters restoration of shipboard machinery and equipment

The article describes ten-year tests of the innovative, fully Russian development — a resource and energy saving technology — gel multimodal additive (GMA) FE-DO on the diesel icebreaker "Admiral Makarov" with the participation of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. Brief history of creation and examples of scientific research of the technology, main differences from existing additives, areas of its application in the fleet, in shipbuilding and ship repair spheres, as well as actual problems being solved have been given. Technical indicators on the result of generalized analysis of test documents have been specified showing the restoration of the condition of cylinder-piston group, cleaning of diesel engine from soot and other deposits, reduction of fuel and oil consumption for carbon monoxide, increase of oil life. On the basis of these data the conclusion about efficiency and expediency of application of this development in the fleet has been made.
