Nanotechnology Saves Emissions and Fuel Costs – an “Engine Rebuild in a Bottle”

Nanolia is pleased to bring you a product that enables virtually any machine to operate more efficiently, while reducing fuel costs by around 11% and emissions by around 60%.

Based on the nanotechnology the product – which is simply added to engine or gearbox oil – is a low cost way to reduce the cost of operating machinery. It is equally effective from the smallest motors and generators to the largest marine diesel engines and including pumps, gearboxes and winches. One application is good for 100,000 Kms – even if the oil is changed many times in that period. And after 100,000 Kms, it can be simply reapplied to further the vehicle’s life. It’s like an engine or gearbox rebuild in a bottle.

Nanolia Friction Guard is a tribological nanocoating that actually prevents engine metal wear so that gears, pistons and bearings became almost maintenance free with extended service life. It is not classed as a fuel or oil additive – it only uses oil as the medium to deliver it to the worn or damaged surfaces.

Environmentally Positive

NanoliaTEC “smart coatings” are amazingly easy to apply and have a major positive impact for factory and plant owners, logistic and fleet operators, helping drive sustainability, efficiency and cleaner air.

• Longer lasting engines / vehicle gears, pistons and bearings
• Fuel Efficiency: around 11% savings on fuel
• Cleaner air / emissions reductions (on average 50-60%)

How does it work?

Lubricants work by creating a protective film that avoids direct contact of the metallic surfaces. However, lubricants are not able to protect the metal surfaces under all conditions and permanently. This new nano coating technology works rather differently. It actually modifies the surface texture of frictional metal parts and creates a new, very smooth metal silicate coating. This metal silicate coating reduces friction and increases efficiency, especially in older engines and gearboxes. Due to optimisation of compression pressure in engines, oil- and fuel consumption, emissions and CO2 exhaust gases are reduced.

The synthesized metal silicate compound only has to be added to the original lubricant and is carried to the affected areas of the engine or gear box. In the abrasion area, the metal silicates react due to high temperature and/or high partial pressure and conjoin with the metal surfaces, filling the smallest corrugations, pores or micro cracks in the metal surface, forming an extremely smooth and solid metal silicate layer. The treated metal silicate surfaces have a much lower friction coefficient and allow for a better and faster build-up of a lubricating film. The effect on wind turbine gearboxes, for example, is well documented and significant in terms not only of extended gearbox life but also increased power generation.
