Petrobras to use IFT additive in 3 biodiesel plants

U.S.-based International Fuel Technology (IFT) announced that Brazil’s state-run energy company Petrobras will purchase a fuel additive called Perfolift BD-4 for use in its three biodiesel manufacturing plants in Brazil. The plants collectively produce more than 150 million liters per year of biodiesel. IFT’s Sergio C. Trindade said, “”We are confident that our additive will continue to perform on a superior level, as it has in past testing with Petrobras.  IFT believes it is in a position to supply Petrobras with most, if not all, of its additive needs for their entire biodiesel production.” (June 22, 2011)
