Bureau Veritas fuel analysis – Heavy Fuel Oil ISO 8217 HFO 380 with fuel additive to reduce emissions
In December 2018, the independent and accredited laboratory Bureau Veritas analyzed a sample of Heavy Fuel Oil 380 treated with the XBEE fuel additive to reduce emissions. The analysis demonstrated that such fuel, also known as HFO 380 / IFO 380, remains in compliance with the ISO 8217:2017 standard.
