Case: Cummins generator

In Table 1, the quantities of fuel in the power pack/generator are recorded either without Sulnox or with Sulnox.

At this point, it is useful to underline and highlight the hourly consumption of the power pack/generator under full load (100%) which is, according to the manufacturer, 45.6 litres per hour.

For the case A (2,568 litres), the average fuel consumption reached 41.5 litres/h and for the case B, the average fuel consumption achieved was only 36.5 litres/h.

Also, it is worth underlining and highlighting that for the same quantity of fuel (2,568 litres –
case A and 2,566 litres – case B) the power pack/generator worked for more hours in case B (70
hours) than it worked in case A (62 hours).

The particular fuel quantity consumed in case B was treated with a total quantity of 1,25 litres
Sulnox®. The acquisition cost of Sulnox 41.60 €/litre (in the package container of 5 lit) and 33.86
€/litre (in the package container of 200 litres).

Regarding and examining the package container of the cheapest price (200 litres), we realize that
the total cost of Sulnox® consumed is:
33.86 €/lit * 1.25 lit = 42.32 €.

Finally, given the economy of the 8 hours of function of the generator using Sulnox® (case B) in
conjunction to case A and considering the average fuel consumption in 36.5 litre/h, then we can
accept that:

36.5 lit/h * 8 h = 292 litres of fuel are saved

Given that the average acquisition cost of the fuel is 1 €/litre, then in this case and subtracting
the acquisition cost of Sulnox, then we save about 250 € which would equate to fuel savings of
approximately 44,000 € per year if the generator worked 24/7.
