With respect to any project, feedstock samples will be processed at AkzoNobel’s laboratory in Sweden and a surfactant and additive formulation developed that is specific to the hydrocarbon to be emulsified.

The resulting MSAR® is then extensively tested using protocols specifically developed for the purpose to ensure the stability of the fuel. This process takes into account the planned application of the fuel to ensure that the fuel will perform properly in the handling systems and application anticipated.

The process of sampling and testing is continued through the commissioning of a production system to ensure that the production scale results properly reflect the work done at laboratory scale.


MSAR® fuel can be stored, pumped and transported by road, rail or seagoing tanker in the same way as traditional fuel oils but without the need for significantly raised temperature. Attention must be paid to certain aspects of handling systems as the fuel’s quality can be susceptible to high shear environments and contamination. The Quadrise team has many years of experience in checking handling systems for emulsion fuel compatibility and designing minimum cost solutions where issues exist. QFI establishes an ongoing sampling and testing regime to ensure that quality standards are maintained throughout production and the fuel delivery system to point of use.
