Biodiesel BIO100
Characteristics
Bioester is a biofuel derived from plant oils, intended as a diesel engine fuel. Motorists are advised to consult automobile manufacturers, prior to filling the tank, to check the suitability of bioester fuel for their vehicles.
HIGH QUALITY, FULL SAFETY
Bioester and conventional diesel fuel exhibit similar physicochemical properties. Biofuel marketed by ORLEN facilitates engine operation and extends engine’s life. Thanks to its good lubricating properties, the fuel protects the injection apparatus against excessive wear. Higher oxygen content, relative to traditional diesel fuel, contributes to better combustion while the high cetane number (51) ensures good engine performance.
The fuel meets the quality standards set for biofuels in the PN EN 14214 standard effective on other EU markets.
100% ENVIRONMENT–FRIENDLY FUEL
The use of bioester protects the natural environment. It helps significantly reduce emission of pollutants and greenhouse effect gases during both the production phase and the combustion process. It is biodegradable and safe for human health.
EXCEPTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE PRICE
The low price of bioester makes the fuel very cost-effective, recommendable particularly to farmers as well as transport and construction companies.
