INDUSTRY NEWS ADERCO ANNOUNCES 35TH ANNIVERSARY AT POSIDONIA
1981 - An innovative fuel treatment solution developed by Aderco enables the Canadian ice breaker fleet to operate with greater reliability and fuel efficiency under extreme conditions on the Saint Lawrence River and other strategic waterways.
2016 - With over 20 million metric tonnes of fuel treated annually, Aderco additives are trusted by Shipowners’ and Shipmanagers’ worldwide to reduce OPEX, safeguard machinery and maximise operational reliability.
Aderco shared its insights and industry learnings (fuel efficiency strategies, navigating SECA challenges) in a series of workshops at the Aderco Booth during Posidonia in June.
Nyon, Switzerland 6th June 2016 – Aderco International SA, a leader in the research & development, manufacture and distribution of specialised fuel treatment covering the key maritime, industrial, mining and automotive sectors, is proud to announce its thirty fifth anniversary year of operation. The company marked the occasion by exhibiting for the first time at Posidonia.
Aderco began operations in 1981 when Canadian Paul Crevier identified a molecule with unique properties for improving fuel efficiency and addressing the issues specific to fuel oil-fired operations. Together with the Québec Industrial Research Centre (CRIQ), the formulation was further optimised and validated into what is today, a highly regarded and trusted brand used across the globe.
That same year, having heard what he was working on, Canadian ice breaker operators approached Crevier requesting a solution to address the fuel issues they faced and, most importantly, to improve both fuel efficiency and operational reliability. The extreme operating conditions combined with the strategic importance of the Saint Lawrence River had created a fuel treatment challenge that needed to be met. And so the

Aderco’s initial product iterations successfully overcame the problems of fuel incompatibility, sludge formation, inefficient combustion and deposit formations. In fact, they exceeded expectations in terms of saving costs and safeguarding equipment.
Extensive laboratory and field testing ensued, with numerous base cases delivering compelling results. Through word of mouth and a proven track record, Aderco was soon on a growth trajectory beyond North America, expanding into Europe and along the ‘silk route’ into Asia including the establishment of strategic offices and stock points.
By the turn of the millennium, Aderco had further refined the formula to incorporate the benefits of vegetal organic derivatives. Besides enabling a higher concentration than was possible with solvent-based methods, it also addressed the sustainability dynamic, the result being a product that not only promised a far lower cost per tonne treated but also one that was more environmentally responsible and came with the all important Non-Hazardous classification. The advantages included convenient 20 litre pails rather than 200 litre drums and no transportation restrictions. The green pails of Aderco 2055G, the latest-generation fuel conditioning formula, are increasingly a common sight on vessels of all types the world over.
