Safety!
Electrostatic build-up due to a slow dissipation of charges created by friction is very dangerous in fuels. The aviation industry takes a serious on this and a minimum conductivity is now included in all jet fuel specifications. This minimum value can be met with the use of an anti-static agent.
Removal of sulfur from other fuel streams by hydro-desulfurization also depletes the naturally conducting polar compounds. As a result, it becomes necessary to use an antistatic agent to enhance the conductivity of Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and gasoline.
Cestoil has vast experience in the field of antistatic agents in various circumstances and applications.
