The present invention provides a fuel additive for a heavy fuel oil in composition form, comprising: an oil soluble metallic compound; an oxygenator; a dispersant; a lubricant; a non-ionic surfactant; and a detergent. If a small amount (0.025%) of the additive of the present invention is added to heavy fuel oil, the generation of particulate matter (PM), residual carbons, nitrogen oxides and the like upon combustion can be reduced. In addition, if a small amount (0.025%) of the additives of the present invention is added to heavy fuel oil, the combustion efficiency can be enhanced since upon combustion, a maximum combustion pressure is increased, whereas an exhaust temperature is lowered. Thus, the fuel additive of the present invention is very useful for a large boiler using heavy fuel oil as fuel, in particular, a large diesel engine. |
